Product: Flyboys [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Thrilling, engaging and emotional
I loved Flyboys! The flying scenes are incredible exciting. I cared about the characters and held my breath as they fought for their lives and their friends. I liked the odd mix of backgrounds of the pilots and how their relationships evolved.Don't believe that all the critics were soft on this movie. Gene Shalit called it an 'exaltation' and said ' The writing, photography, performances, direction - all top flight. "Flyboys" isso entertaining, so exhilarating, it left me walking on air.'Rex Reed wrote '...a thrill a minutefor all ages, and a few tears, too, in an old-fashioned kind of war moviewith a heart (in the best kind of tradition) that keeps you on the edge ofyour seat with your mouth wide open.'I don't understand the people who were hard on this. I hope to see it at the Oscars under several categories -- directing, effects, best picture!
