OT: Der Rote Baron Movie

I enjoyed all the aerodrome scenes which were much longer than 8.5 minutes. The planes on the ground were fanatstic as well and again, a lot longer than 8.5 minutes.

It was never billed as a historical documentary. It's a good movie in my opinion but I am not hung up in seeing a documentary and understand it's a movie. Therefore I really enjoyed it.

I actually enjoyed the story, which if you just insert another name other than manfred , would have been fairly good.

Time the combat scenes. 8.5 minutes.

I wasn't looking for a documentary per say. I was looking for more of a somewhat correct biography with lots more combat.

But I'm glad you liked it. I liked it for what it was I guess.
 
OMG!! I just watched the whole thing (thanks for the link) That movie is what we used to call in the Navy a 5 finger gagger. That had to be the worst yet WWI movie, the Back Street Boys do 1917. Gawd awful storyline, almost no fight scenes and the one's there were the planes are flitting around like X-wings. Signifcant moments of the time completely glossed over. Voss's fight, probably the most famous air battle of WWI nothing more than a foot note. Richtofen's fight with Hawker, the one that really made his name for him a ten second scene of the crash never mind it's the wrong plane.

Thanks again for posting those links, if not for them I would have gone out and wasted money on the DVD whenever it gets released. You know it says a lot about the film industry and about the average movie goer I guess, when the best WWI movie is 40 years old.

Apparently. As soon as I got there, popups started showing up faster than AA on the way to an observation balloon. Scarey red things that say "Your computer is infected" and listing four viruses; at least one Trojan Horse.

Then, Windows-looking popups supposedly containing "fixes" for the viruses start arriving in rapid succession. You have a choice of "running" or "downloading" these fixes.

But they are from an unknown source and I've heard that's one way viruses actually do get into your computer.

So I cancelled out of that window and my onboard virus protection kicked in. Told me it had taken care of a threat to my computer.

Afterwards, I ran a complete system scan and it detected eight threats still inexistence: all tracking cookies, and one pretty bad one that, when you log onto a particular site you wanted to see, is set up to direct you to another site altogether. Perhaps that's where all that viral FLAK came from?

Anyway, it's gone now, but beware lads!

:focus: I've watched the first half of The Red Baron on the two-part site Siggi directed me to. Works fine. No viruses. And though I see what some mean about acting shortcomings and such, I am thoroughly enjoying the movie. Will watch the second half now.

Thanks again!

Prost! :ernae:

forgive me for not knowing, but what is that movie called?

I really want to see it because I was also very disappointed by this movie. Romance crap kind of like Pearl Harbor, lol
 
Well I enjoyed it,a good easy watching yarn with a few great ground battlefield scenes, loads of aerodrome shots and some great 'boys own' dogfight scenes. How anyone can compare it to Flyboys or consider it as the worst ww1 film of all time I don't know.
I'm no anorak purist thank f**k. but I can tell the difference between a good yarn and a piece of **** after growing up watching tons of hollywood crap over the last 35 years.

"The Blue Max". Real planes. No CGI. 1903 champagne. Ambition. Tragedy. Insolence. Treachery. Unmoveable bath towels ;)

Well worth a look ....

exactly it was way better than flyboys and a pretty good movie. maybe some are watching it all choppy on a small window on a computer screen.

This movie was unreal on a 65 inch HDTV...it was incredible.
