Others say...
"Solid movie" Yes, it's cliched. Yes, it's predictable. And yes, there are some liberties taken with realism. But hey, it's a good movie. Solid fare: good heroes, bad villains, lots of dogfighting (and the dogfighting is really good, albeit unrealistically fast for the planes of the time), some romance, and no idiotic Hollywood attempts at artsiness for its own sake.
Acting is pretty decent, especially from the girl and the French captain. The movie is even clean (i.e. no sex scenes!).
I give it 4 out of 5. Most guys will like it. Rent it, crack open a beer, and enjoy the evening.
"No Other Movie Like It" This is a one of a kind movie. War, flight, history, a bit of very tasteful romance (trust me, I hate romance stories in movies where the main plot is action and adventure), realistic, and fun to watch with anyone. My dad and I loved this movie, definitely an all time favorite for me.
""Inspired by History." Visuals: 5 stars. History: 2 stars. " "Flyboys" has great visuals, but the history is sorely lacking, and the story is really a bit trite (right down to "boy meets girl," and so on). That's too bad, because the real story of the Lafayette Escadrille had more than enough excitement, which is even recognized by one of the movie's writers -- "we didn't have to make these guys Hollywood." The question remains why the writers did just that.
I recommend "Flyboys," but only in the Collector's 2 disc edition - -and watch disc 2, "The True Story of the Lafayette Escadrille" first. You'll find out what did, and did not, really happen.
"Have any of you who said this was good seen Blue Max?" Obviously by all the 5 star reviews who think the dogfight seens are great have never seen the Blue Max. This is what WWI airplanes flew like, not the cartoon in Flyboys. The only disapointment in the Blue Max is George Peppard is not german. Don't buy flyboys, watch it on cable.
"Flying solo." Flyboys starring James Franco kept my attention, great special effects and moving story from beginning to end. Martin Henderson also stars. This film is set against the turblent time of World War I. Parts of this film are a bit dragged out and I wish this movie was cut down to two hours but Flyboys will impress you frame by frame, enjoy!

What our customer's say!
"FLYPLOY", In all fairness, when I first viewed this picture I knew in advance that the computerized air fighting was probably a negative note. What I did not expect was a decently written story line. The usual story of volunteers from America arriving to fight in France for various personal reasons is about what you would expect, but the way certain actors handled their roles is exceptional. Especially well done are the French officers. The actors playing the Captain and his subordinates as training begins and all through the movie as the war progresses is very well done. Now of course, the really ridiculous aspect of this movie is that the Germans all fly Fokker Dr. 1s painted RED. Exactly like the Red Baron. In fact every attack you could say you shot down the Red Baron according to this movie. Instead the "bad guy" german is a vicious pilot flying a black painted Dr 1. with a shield of two ravens on the side. Against our allied heroes flying Neiuport 17s (another highly unlikely issue, due to veteran pilots always receiving the latest planes and rookies usually forced to fight it out with outmoded weaponry), and are just flying bait for our Bad German Ace. The German has a nasty habit of flying alongside damaged allied planes and giving a mocking grin before he finishes the unfortunate flyer off with another burst. This proves to be a foible and has strong implications later.
Is this movie worth it? Well, I picked it up for 5 bucks, so I consider it like a trip to a movie where your were fairly entertained for two or so hours. As to comparisons with other WW 1 movies, this one can't hold a candle to "The Blue Max" or "The Dawn Patrol", but is a modern movie, certainly better than "Pearl Harbor" which may be the most PC and BAD movie ever made of the modern era. Nurses and Pilots dodging bullets in between their personal relationships.. Boy was that bad!
"Visually Stunning", I loved the Movie, it has everyting Great direction, Stunning visuals, Good looking cast, Great locations, Superb arieal fight scenes, Awesome Blu Ray picture & sound quality..Other than some great action, it covers Romance, Friendships & some more..pssst now thats for you to watch & find out!!
"Unoriginal Low Budget Film", How can I sum up this movie: Low budget CGI, terrible acting, terrible lines, Cliché storyline, mediocre action, cheesy revolting love story, and untrue to life. I would have to say the best actor in the movie probably was the lion. Yes, there is a lion in a WWI movie, can you believe it?
I found the dramatic dog fighting scenes actually quite comical. Once you realize the planes are CGI, the dogfights are almost as enjoyable as watching a PS3 game. The true horror of the film is watching the star of the show (Spiderman's best friend) try to woo a retarded French girl that likes to visit a local brothel for recreation. I had to vomit several times during their less than bearable dialogue. In one part of the movie, the leading character flies to her house to give her a joy ride in his plane. Yeah, I'm sure that happened all the time during a little war like WWI. Also, I swear the movie's soundtrack was used in about every other major blockbuster movie of the past, in an attempt to make the movie seem of a higher quality. I was actually relieved when the scratched blu-ray I rented locked up during the ending of the movie, so I wouldn't have to sit through much more of this pathetic excuse for a war movie.
Questions to ask: Why was a French girl bandaging up injured war pilots in a brothel? How does a guy land a plane 100 yards next to his girlfriend's house with German guards all around without anyone noticing? How come they give a guy a medal rather than shooting him on site for stealing a squadron plane to save his retarded girlfriend? How do you chop off someone's hand with a dull field shovel? How is it that new pilots are suddenly artistic enough to paint professional looking logos on their planes? How can you shout commands at each other over the plane engines and wind noise during a dogfight? Why would you stand and wave your arms in open enemy territory after being shot down during a dogfight? Why would you do a solo suicide mission against a dozen nazi fighters, so you could revenge your friends? How do you do -3 G jet fighter maneuvers in a 65 Horsepower WWI plane? What was Bubba Gump's little brother doing in this movie? Why was there a pet lion used in a WWI movie?
"Should been better", Nice actions, but if you looking for a more authentic WWI aerial combat drama try "Der Rote Baron" instead.
"Up there with pearl harborGreat movie", Great movie. Better love story than pearl harbor. Blu-Ray is the way to go. Great action with Great acting makes this movie worth watching again and again.

Read this reviews before You buy...
"Excellent movie", The movie had lots of great flying scenes, well developed characters, and the extras on the collector's ecditon DVD were also interesting. This is one of those movies you will want to watch more than once.
"Flyboys", Interesting story. Accuracy of aviation history is not perfect (all red fokker DR I against Nieuport 17) and a lot of computer generated imagery. Anyway a good aircraft/war movie.
""Wings" was the first WW I dog fight movie in 1927", There is a long tradition of these movies; Howard Hughes even made one. This movies has some very good aerial shots. The acting is also pretty good. I think this may be a remake of an older film, but it is in full color. The glamor of the war was in the air with the Red Baron. There were real Americans that actually fought here. WW I was the first of the real dehumanizing wars with the trench lines and poison gas. The fighter pilots gave a new "knight" like quality to war in the air.
"What a waste", I had the movie before, but when I saw that the collectors addition had the "Flyboys Game" I thought I would buy it off the market place. Good seller, but the DVD did not come with the game as advertised. It only came with a DEMO version of the game. They should have said that on the box. Thanks a bunch for false advertisement. Thought the other extras might make up for it, WRONG! Don't waste your time or money.
"Great Flick - Dumb Name!", Tony Bill's 2006 motion picture "Fly Boys" has comfortably transitioned to DVD with this widescreen version. It is a very good movie featuring World War 1 flying ace action, excitement, and romance. It offers several impressive stunts through its imaginative screenplay.
"Fly Boys" informs about the nature and era of the Great War. Although it is not a documentary the movie does present itself as a real life narrative. The acting, by mostly unknowns, is okay and there is little cursing and no nudity. The period costuming and sets are very well done. The battle scenes are not gory nor grotesque. The DVD may be shown to the entire family.
Too bad this flick doesn't have a different name (insuring more popularity). "Fly Boys" is recommended to action adventure DVD aficionados and those curious about World War 1.
