Better ThanThe Blue Max
If you are a fan of WWI movies you will surely remember The Blue Max, an aging but still impressive WWI flying movie. In my opinion Fly Boys is better. Fly Boys sticks more closely to the air combat theme, while still allowing for a human side to the story, and those combat scenes! They are great.Not wishing to give the story line away to anyone lucky enough to still be looking forward to seeing this film for the first time, I won't go into any details, but you will not be disappointed.In particular, the always good Jean Reno as Captain Thenault, Jennifer Decker as Lucienne, and James Franco as Blaine Rawlings were outstanding. My feeling is that this is Jean Reno's best fit in a role since Ronin. And he has been plenty good in several films since then.
