THE RED BARON (Theatrical Release Germany 2008)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.6|5.0 Starsììì

The Red Baron—has no reason for being—has no purpose. Little character development, uninteresting storyline, no significant events structure, no foundation and all this supports itself with sporadically, rather good acting. The movie deserves a re-make to correct these errors and make a movie that gives credit to the accomplishments of ‘The Red Baron’ during World War I.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

No. Fly Boys, a World War I movie, has a solid story and works at a higher entertainment level than this film.
