It was alright. It was like 95% drama 5% action which was pretty disappointing for me at least. The main focus of the movie was about the struggles of being an African American in the 1950's which I felt was lazily executed.

I was hoping for more, the trailer looked really good but got pretty much what I expected. It's basically a 2 hour eye roll with about 10 minutes of action thrown in the middle. If you don't know anything about the military you might like the action part but if you do then it's just 2 hours of straight eye roll.

This could have been such a great story but I think it's a law that you can't have a black guy in a movie unless the whole movie is centered around race (except Blade (and that's why Wesley Snipes is the best)). Anyway maybe one day Hollywood will get tired of telling the same story over and over and over again with different characters and settings. I gave it a 5 because I like planes, if it weren't for the fighter planes I probably would have given it a 2.

Good flight scenes, fine acting, and an interesting true story at the core. Unfortunately, the movie falls down a bit when it comes to telling that story as it fails to engage on an emotional level. The old fashioned dialogue is also a hindrance but it's still a movie worth watching, if only for a reminder of the man that inspired it.

Wow, I wasn't expecting much from this movie but I was bored and gave it a shot. I loved it. I also like plane stuff alot too so it's right up my alley. I'd defiantly rewatch sometime.

I really wanted to love this movie.

Visually, it's absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, the "friendship" which is supposed to be the emotional core of the movie rings completely hollow.
One of the two main characters is not a character at all. Lt. Hudner has literally zero characteristics (except not being racist), and the movie fails to make me care about him or even believe that he's a real person.
Why does he care about Jesse so much? Because he's black? Because Daisy asked him to in their one short conversation?

Such a disappointment. Not a terrible movie, but it could really have been great.

If you've never served, it's probably extremely difficult to grasp the friendships and bonds that develop very quickly

I never served and straight up understood why Hudner cared about Jesse. This is not a story from scratch, its a real life story btw. Someone as Hudner, having to find his purpose and his new adventure he goes on seeing everything through pink sunglasses. Until he meets Jesse, seeing how people are outside the war itself. The things Jesse says to himself into the mirror when Hudner hears him 2 times actually. Hudner thinks he is doing Jesse a favor or helping him (as we all tend to do because we never went through what black people went through) but in the end he is either making things just worse or not have any effect which he doesn’t get why until the very end with Jesse.

Did not enjoy this movie at all. It was frankly boring and weak. The story was slow and lacked depth and grip.

This movie is boring. There are way better war, pilot, racial movies out there.

A story of friendship between airmen in the midst of the little-known American intervention in the Korean War makes for an interesting buddy movie that at least tries to avoid the topics of racism, although the attitude of the white airman may seem somewhat paternalistic towards the only black airman. , who is photographed by magazines to give an image of normality using what is exceptional in the army in front of the public. It's a movie that would have done better in another year, because it even shares an actor with "Top Gun: Maverick." But, although much less spectacular, it is much more honest in the representation of a sincere friendship.

The most predictable cliché of a movie I've seen in a long long time. Filmed in almost complete darkness because the sets were so ridiculously poor.

It's a true story, so if this is how it actually played out then who am I to knock it. I would've liked to see them have a stronger bond/connection but overall the movie was decent.

This was really a rock solid movie from start to finish! Plane lovers will enjoy it, war drama fans will enjoy it, movie theater goers will really enjoy it! I think the biggest knock of this movie is the fact it came out the same year as Top Gun Maverick, with one of the same leading actors. It will forever be in its shadow. It’s a damn great shadow, but a shadow nonetheless.

Rating: 4/5 - 8.5/10 - Would Recommend

Still surprised this came out the same year Top Gun Maverick came out. It’s very good, but it will forever be buried below it’s counterpart. Rating: 4/5 - 8.5/10 - Would Recommend
