[WWI] Red Baron Movie...just an opinion...

[james dickie]

Ironically I bought 10 extra copies of it while I was in Hong Kong ($2 each)...I was planning on giving them away free to fellow list members here who were interested. But a customs officer at San Francisco International Airport took all 10 extra copies from me. He said he did not believe that I was going to give them away for free, that they must have been merchandise to resell, that I failed to declare them as merchandise on the customs form, etc. So he took them, left me with just the one DVD.
Maybe he'll sell them on Ebay.

      I picked it up in Hong Kong...I don't think it's here in 
        the States yet. It's well worth watching, and I would recommend it to 
        all...it's just that I thought large chunks of the story seemed to go 
        nowhere (and I stress that this is just my opinion of course). That 
        being said, I watched the dogfight scenes probably about 10 times 
        already...so yes, when available go buy it!

            I enjoyed the movie. I never dissect a 
            movie or I would always be disappointed. Instead I just watch for 
            the entertainment factor. overall I really liked it and thought it 
            was a well done movie. I find it on par with flyboys with the 
            exception you dont have a long huge gap in the middle with the 
            boring love story drivel. the love story was there but it was spread 
            out throughout the movie. the only thing I didnt care for was the 
            way it ended. I think the fight should have been there then cut to 
            the ending they ad. other than that it was an enjoyable 
            movie

                  Last week I picked up the Red Baron DVD, and 
                    watched it last night. The full size Albatros fighters are 
                    incredibly gorgeous, as are pretty much all the aircraft in 
                    the film. I think they did a wonderful job on the workings 
                    of Spandau mg's, the aerilons, etc...real eye candy. The 
                    (very few) dogfight scenes are well done and kept me hooked. 
                    There are some good actors and impressive visuals...but all 
                    of that amounts to about 15 minutes perhaps. The rest of the 
                    film was just plain boring and the actor who portrayed 
                    Manfred was hardly likeable. Oh well...the aircraft are 
                    still really really 
            cool.
