As an English viewer I thought the film was amusing. All these German actors speaking English well but with the German pronunciation. Its difficult to say flippant laid back things in English with a German pronunciation. Germans being by nature perfectionists can try too hard to be casual in English- doesn't quite come off...
Otherwise the story is interesting, and the characters likable. I didn't take it too seriously historically because I know very little about the man. Its a fun, enjoyable WW1 'knights of the sky' movie.
Next time though I'd advise a director to get the Germans to speak German with subtitles, and leave the flippant laid back English to the English actors - they do it much better. Otherwise we British will simply take the mickey...
