Good war movie, but not great.

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2017)

It was a good movie as far as visual effects. However, there was very little acting. The movie made the German air force look small and inept. Whereas the RAF fighter was able to fight on, and on, and on, and fly forever without fuel, and shoot down German planes faster than Rambo mowing down Russians with AK-47s, The aircraft also never ran out of ammunition, like a cop in an action movie who never reloads and shoots hundreds of bullets. If you have an aviation background like me, you will know that with weight and balance issues, bullets are limited to a certain amount. My other issue, being a person of french descent, was the total lack of time given to the french soldiers who held the line so that the British could escape. The french fought bravely, unlike many Americans think. But they suffered from poor generalship at the time. They had better tanks than the Germans, but these were poorly deployed. Overall, despite these mistakes, it was a good weekend movie. I gave it 6 stars.
