I finally saw this film last weekend. I have mixed reviews on it.
First the bad;
- The timeline skipping back and forth was extremely annoying.
- Beginning of the movie should have set up the story of this battle in history better. Also should have introduced the characters better. I still don't know the characters names!?!?!
- the "High" point in the movie, where all the boats started to arrive, really wasn't that high of a point in the movie. It was just flat to me.
- Ending was really lame. It really didn't hit home how important this event was to the war.
Now the good;
- Aviation scenes were great! It was great to finally see a WWII movie that used real aircraft (although some were post war Spanish models obviously), rather than going with crappy CGI. I wish more films would do this.
- Opening combat scene was great! Should have been longer or more in depth though, but great to scare the crap out of the audience right away.
