hey Lord of the Rings are great movies, it was no easy task. of course it could have been different, but see not many ways to do it better. if Dambusters goes forward i also trust it will turn out ok.

Trailer looks good. Lucas is also a vintage aviation afficiando so he will have put in a fair bit of love (and cash) to this project.

For the record the the freaky maneuver with the p-51 pulling a stall turn and shooting up the me 262 did by some accounts happen. There was an episode of that history channel's dog fights about it.

There will be some smaltzy moments - the film has to make money after all.

Tell your friends and go see it at the cinema chaps. Who knows - if it sells lots of tickets it could revive the genre and the sim market as well.

You guys are nuts.

It's movie: The primary purpose of a movie is to generate money - not please some virtual fighters jocks with realistic FMs or historically correct paint schemes.
In other words: We are only a few and therefore notr really important.

Although the theme imho sux, I'll rather have crappy movie one than none.
