"The Red Baron" is a Biography - Action movie in which we watch the story of Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (The Red Baron) who is considered the ace-of-aces of the war. He was credited with 80 air combat victories and that was something that gave him the nickname in addition to his airplane which was painted red.
I have to admit that I did not have high expectations from this movie but I was happily surprised by it since I enjoyed it very much. It had plenty of action, an interesting plot following and based on the life of the Red Baron and his actions in combination with some romantic moments. The direction which was made by Nikolai Müllerschön who is also the writer of it, was above average and he presented very well not only the victories and loses of the Red Baron but also some of his family moments and of course his moments out of the war. Matthias Schweighöfer who played as Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen / The Red Baron was simply amazing and I believe that he made the best interpretation so far. Another interpretation that has to be mentioned was Lena Headey's who played as Käte and she was very good too.
