Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Besides some fine dogfight sequences, it often feels threadbare, just an exercise in recycling.
– Walter V. Addiego,

rotten:
This is old-school moviemaking, for better or worse, which means rat-a-tat dogfights in the sky combined with overripe romantic and social cliches on the ground.
– Peter Howell,

rotten:
The painstaking authenticity and appealing cast of Flyboys can't overcome the cloyingly formulaic nature of its story.
– Jeff Shannon,

rotten:
Why make such a corny and incredibly predictable film?
– Richard Roeper,

rotten:
Aafter a while -- there must be six major fights against unending numbers of German planes -- it feels like special effects run amok.
