The war scenes in the movie look a bit foolish. The movie is a pleasant viewing experience at least for the 1st 3/4th part but then the plot went terribly awry. The last sequence is just awful.

Suffers from having to retcon things to make Eagle work, same as the book. Makes a slightly better job of it though.

Nothing wrong with the acting, the costumes looked realistic enough, and the story was okay, too. The occasional electric guitar music in the background was somewhat off-putting. Overall a nice film, looking forward to the others.
