Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Mathias Nagy (rocdoc2004) Watching all these wonderful actors in their prime, the great storyline and the great cinematography for the first time has had me enthralled. This is a really enjoyable film with considerable depth. In my mind it is an exploration of the competitive nature of the flyers themselves - whether friends or rivals, one soon becomes acutely aware of their constant need to push their limits, not only amongst themselves but also within themselves. For some reason this film is only averaging a rating of 6.4, and it deserves much more than that, so my vote will hopefully help to reflect a more appropriate rating for what is a really enjoyable movie.Even if you are not into aviator flicks, you will enjoy this movie - it is an excellent example of the filmmakers and scriptwriters art. I give it my heartiest recommendation.

info-3622 This is a well shot film (the light in the Prarie scenes are beautiful) about why people love flying and how it gets into their bones to the point where they will take great risks with their lives as well as other people's!Redford looks heroic and every bit the Ladies Man especially in uniform. The aerial sequences are terrific with some really risky stunts and shots. Made in 1975, there are no CGI effects - everything is real and raw.I felt the film to be a little slow at times but it's a film for grown ups so we can take that speed, can't we? Scott A. Frisina's review on the main page is as good a synopsis as anyone can give - that's how it is - read it then see this excellent film.

Herr-Waldo I rented the dvd of the movie 'cause I saw the dvd at my local library and my full nickname is waldo frinkazoid. The cover looks pretty good and the name Robert Redford 'rang a bell'. I guess that those reasons were not good enough, To like this movie i think you have to bee an aviation freak. The story is not the main thing in this movie, one should be impressed but the stunts performed in the movie, the story comes in second place. The title makes you believe it's a tribute to Waldo Pepper but I can't say I like what he did much.

skopi This is simply a fun movie. The flying scenes are great to watch and sometimes filled with suspense. Its simply an adventure that traces Waldo after flying in WWI to getting money from small communities for stunt flying to flying for Hollywood. There is no deep thought here and the plot is not that great but it has fun action. I am not sure if I would rent it, but its worth watching if you see that its on cable somewhere.
