Overrated and factually disrespectful

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2017)

Some spectacular scenes but overall sloppy and at times annoying

during the Dunkirk battle , RAF LOST about 90 planes and the Germans almost 400. The movie showed only Tom Hardy (and briefly 2 of his mates) taking out 10 or so German planes

800 civilian boats helped evacuate Dunkirk . We saw at most 30

close on 400,000 soldiers were evacuated. Where were they in the movie ? All we had was a couple of hundred either lining up on the beach or ducking for cover from the occasional (previously mentioned 10) German planes

-other than opening scene , NO land battles. In reality , Dunkirk town was bombed by Germans with 1000 civilian casualties

Tom Hardy runs out of fuel yet not only glides for ages but even manages to shoot another plane down !

what was the point in casting Tom Hardy? Could hardly hear him behind his mask which he only took off at the end

annoying "music" - continual frantic violin with occasional accompanying crashing of drums and other instruments

ONE redeeming feature - no unnecessary romance !!
