Product: Flyboys [Blu-ray] (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Almost Historically Accurate.. Don't Pass Up
I have to say that after watching Flyboys a few times, I am pretty impressed with it. I am a WWI and WW2 enthusiast, and Flyboys is better than most have said here. Sure, there are some historical mistakes, but overall, the movie is great. There are a lot of historically correct scenes that really make this movie great. Try to overlook all the Fokker triplanes (a historical mistake in the movie) and look at the whole story. The writers and directors really portrayed the time period well. The innocence of the time period, the pain, the joy. It was all good. Try to overlook some of the mistakes that were made by the writers and look at the whole story. A few historical mistakes... sure, but overall, a very accurate movie of WWI air warfare in my humble opinion. I was quite impressed with the movie. Maybe not quite a happy ending, but so is life...
