Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Besides some fine dogfight sequences, it often feels threadbare, just an exercise in recycling.
Rotten: Aafter a while -- there must be six major fights against unending numbers of German planes -- it feels like special effects run amok.
Rotten: The computer-generated flying effects are the only reason to see the movie, but at some point somebody left the computer on too long, so it went ahead and spat out the script.
Rotten: Flyboys has computer imaging and a fleet of vintage aircraft on its side, but it remains considerably less convincing than Wings (1927), and less exciting.
