Not a war film you'll consider a classic or necessity to watch but there are some nice aerial shots to be seen.

Everyone's just so goddamn plucky.

Well-produced entry in the all-star cast war movie genre starts out very well with brilliantly realised cameos from Jurgens and (especially) Richardson, plus a reliably authoritative performance from Howard, followed by some exciting aerial dogfights -- but the movie never really moves on from this, seemingly intent on repeating the same plane footage ad nauseum, with no consideration of the historical context of the story. Baffling, irrelevant interludes with Plummer and York another detriment.

A well-done film about what might have been THE most important battle of WWII. Churchill's praise, of those who won the skies over Britain and prevented the German invasion, from the hindsight of history was pretty accurate. {A quote worth looking up}

Every British actor in the Universe at the time and every war cliche present and correct - just down the claret, don't leave it for "when you return". Takes eons to get through though.

Full of stiff-upper-lip and don't you know there's a war on. Moves slowly but it's a classic, and a showpiece for an entire generation of british actors.

An uninteresting, average WW2 film. The battle scenes get boring (although there is some great aerial photography), and the film never gets into a good pace.

The number of aircrafts this movie shows are quite impressive. It's too long though.

Even though it's based on Hx, it's not that good. I expected better.

Not bad.
