BoB is still on my all time list.. P was good.. it had it's moments.. RT was bad... very bad. I was so disappointed. Most of The Airmen I know were as well.. and I know several from the E.C.C.T.A.I. The best part about that movie was the fight scenes.. and some of them were suspect and all of them were tainted by the dialog. That had to be one of the absolute worst .. I mean worst scripts I have ever heard. Even the score was hokey.

Band of Bombers??? Sounds great!

I certainly agree about the Pacific. They missed the mark there in the way the thing was paced and delivered. Red Tails was an order of magnitude worse though, and I found I had to turn the volume down and watch the last half of the movie in silence. It was the first time I've ever had to do that.

If you're in the mood for a bomber flick check out "Fortress".

Although I would have done things a bit differently if they had asked me I thought it was well done overall.

I started watching Fortress some time ago. Haven't finished it yet but the idea seems sound. The actors have a very limited range however. Watching them stand as a group and try to portray hangovers or fatigue is hilarious as they experiment with different facial expressions.

I was wishing for this since BOB came out but never thought they would do it as the audience likely wouldn't be into it as much as BOB. As long as its not like Red Tails it will be good.
