Thank goodness for a fully functioning fast forward button to get me through this visually appealing, but sadly lacking film. Its filled with empty stereotypical characterizations, bad cliches, and shameful repackaged history. I especially liked the detail put into portraying the French Nieuport 17s and German Zeppelins, but the almost constant use of the Fokker DR I and their hamhanded paint jobs were ridiculous. The scene in which the black Fokker DR I triplane guns down a defenseless American pilot on the ground was the final nail in this film's coffin for me. I dare anyone to find an example of such an actual disgrace to have been committed by any airman, French, British, or German, during the Great War. Instead look up how they repected their foes and honored the fallen.
Worst ever movie for me was the THE AVENGERS remake, which I walked out of the theater to escape.
