Masters of the Air (2024)
Poor
First of all i have to say i aggree totally with all the 1 star reviews. Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg should hang there heads in shame having produced this rubbish. It demeans the bravery of all the allied aircrew who took part in the bombing offensive over Europe. Given the rate that the gunners are shown shooting down German aircraft you do have to wonder how they managed to continue attacking the bombers till the end of the war. They should have beem totally wiped out by episode 3. And then we have the biggest air armada ever launched ( 376 bombers and 150 fighters ) really, the RAF had allready launched a 1,000 bomber raid a year earlier and i think another 2 after that. Not to mention the fact that the norden sight was no where near as accurate as depicted here. In fact i believe that the US bombing survey found that only 5% of bombs landed within 500 ft of aiming point
All in all just another Hollywood version of history
Perhaps a apology and dissclaimer should be added at the end of each episode.
3 Days in Malay (2023)
Rubbish
Based on a true story. I dont think so
First the title. Malay is a language not a country.
All the fighting in Malaya which i assume this is what they were meaning involved only British and Commonwealth troops
There were no Americans involved not that that has ever stopped Hollywood before.
Lets face it large numbers of people out there who nelieve that hollywood movies are real history
Saying it was based on a true story is a insult to all the allied troops incolved in the war in the far east. All i can say is don't waste your time on this rubbish
There are far better films out there to watch.
