Simply Awesome
I have now concluded critics are the only ones wrong more often than liberal pundits and weather men. This ranks in the top 5 war movies I have ever seen and I have seen them all. WWI is the forgotten war and brave American expatriots who volunteered to fight with the French were not only ahead of their countrymen. they were ahead of their time. Airplanes were only 12 years old when they were adapted for combat use.The characters were strong and believeable. Their evolution from civilian to warrior is timeless while the bonds forged in combat are never reproduced under any other circumstances. The special effects were stunning. It wins on every level.I could speculate ad nauseum as to why films like The Patriot and Gods and Generals are assasinated out of the gate but the bottom line in critics are captive to agendas that have nothing to do with good films. You owe it to yourself to check this one out. You will not be disappointed.
