4.0 out of 5 stars Dig the Mosquito!!, 4 Oct 2004
By Mr. B. K. Taylor "bodie-of-c-i-5" (Derbu) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was one of my fave films ever when I was 11, along with the Dambusters and Battle of Britain. I didn't notice the fairly naff special effects or at times bad acting, but I was taken with the Mosquito and the the ending where 633 Squadron fly up the fjord and try to blow up the V2 rocket fuel factory.

Seeing it 10 years later, I still very much enjoy it, but notice the faults (the naff effects etc) but it doesn't take away from a very enjoyable film. The parts where they discuss the mission and train for it are all well done, and the flying scenes (apart from the dodgy models) are well done. The parts with the squadron leader and the resistance cell's leader's sister are pretty bad though.

I'd definately recommend this, along with Battle of Britain and The Dambusters as a great war film, and a chance to see some great aeroplanes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars !, 2 Oct 2004
By David Moorhouse (München Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anybody who has watched Star Wars (the original first film from 1977) will realise, watching the climax of this film, what a great deal of inspiration George Lucas got from it when he filmed the destruction of the Death Star. It features exactly the same narrow fjord like attack path, bristling with AA guns, and the one bomb that really does the business, after most of the attackers bite the dust ! Great fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars 633 Squadron, 2 Jun 2003
By T. Byatt "terry5680" (Lincolnshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A marvellous film if only for the super flying sequences of that great aircraft "The Mosquito"
On the downside its suffers from the same casting trade-off that most British war films have to make...... It has to feature a Yank as the principle hero so that it could make money from the US box office!! Still worth buying though
