Review of Flyboys (2006)

Overall, I want to like this film. But to be honest, it's too contrived and too long to be good, and too predictable to be mediocre…

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 21 Sep 2006

The movie's straightforward and ingratiating, and as pretty-boy history lessons go, it's a lot less obnoxious than Pearl Harbor…

Shot like a Disney period piece (prettily, with spiffy props, shiny vintage vehicles, and costumes just back from the cleaners), Flyboys introduces…

Review of Flyboys (2006)

By David Elliott (754) for San Diego Union-Tribune (1,408) on 21 Sep 2006

The movie mainly appeals to viewers who need 'dogfights', noble deaths and burning Huns. It could stir the blood of the 13-year-old boy in anyone…
