Wolf Hound

The aircraft scenes are absolutely gorgeous because they used actual airplanes for them, however the rest of the movie sucks. Bad cgi bullets, things that make no sense, and an obvious push for woman power, etc.

It doesn't make sense so many times, that it becomes infuriating. From the illogical combats, to people changing language when it helps the writer, and predictable moves... I mean, if you can watch this movie to the end, you certainly are the hero, here!

Good for the aerial scenes. Acting unbelievebly poor. Stereo typed Germans from a bad 80's film. A long boring section in the middle that could have been edited down. Not the worst film I have ever seen. For most part had it on in the background whilst I was doing other things, until it got interesting again in last twenty five minutes or so.

The story had good potential but let down by really hammy acting. The aerial sequences were good considering that no CGI was used for the main scenes. Did feel that some of the aircraft performance was extremely exaggerated, especially the Hurricane taking down the Mustang P51.

In the real world KG 200 did a lot of special operations and had to check all enemy planes for the Luftwaffe. Of course these machines had no ammo or bombs, as the german types (mostly) did not fit into the guns or suspensions. Testing was mostly for weak/strong spots and maneuverability to guide own pilots, they were never used for attack missions. Planes had german markings and huge yellow wingtips and lower surfaces, so german AA guns won't shoot at them.

Well, in this movie they use a huge number of restored, real original aircraft, and all aerial shots are perfect and beautiful. But of course, all planes are different types except for a pair of P-51, and the storline uses them in an unrealistic way.

Two things may spoil your experience: First the lack of equipment and locations urges the story into outright stupid directions. Every car, uniform and weapon is different, the prison is in the hangar, and fuel barrels are stacked everywhere. Announcements of top secret informations are done over loudspeaker.

Second, and this killed the movie for me, the americans are sort of video game avatar, so they have to kill a lot of NPCs and some bosses, with predicable results.

The acting, the timing and direction are poor. Most of the action effects were probably made from home by using Adobe After Effects. Lots of silly moves that are unrealistic. This this movie is ok for the kids.
