Dunkirk

[video=youtube;F-eMt3SrfFU]

Coming out this weekend. I think the wife and I may go tomorrow morning. Really looking forward to it. Love WWII flicks.

It looks intriguing. I like the history, I just get to emotionally involved when I'm watching.

Let's see what @AllenR says, I think he may have had a preview of it

Dunkirk - NOT GOOD! Total disappointment.

Slow.

Boring.

No emotions stirred.

They need to stop comparing it to Saving Private Ryan.

Unless it's to say it was Awesome and Dunkirk sucks.

It was only slightly better than The Thin Red Line.

I say that because we stayed until the end. Left halfway through thin red line.

Pearl Harbor with Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnet, Kate something was more intense than this.

The 1st scene started out on the right foot, sort of like an opening chase scene of a James Bond movie. But not as good.

After that initial 30 seconds, it crawled to a near stop.

Even the air combat scenes were boring.

The opening scene(s) of Saving Private Ryan left me exhausted.

Dunkirk just made me want to go to sleep

No risk of that in this movie.

It actually opened last night.

I had seen the trailer several timea over past couple of months. Read a few reviews.

I'm now convinced that most of those reviews were PAID and based somely on the trailers

Thank you for the feedback. Looks like this is one I'll wait to watch a few years down the road on a rainy Sunday on Netflix! :popcorn:

I'm a big fan of war movies as well. It's going to take a monumental for any film to equal or best the likes of a "Saving Private Ryan!"

Looking forward to seeing it.

I hate reading that, I was hoping this would be a good movie.

Looks like your ratings would be similar to mine by and large for quite a few of them, that may inform my decision.
