Ratings and reviews

Flyboys is decent enough to not ruin what could have been worse. The CGI could have been much better, and they could have used more real planes. It was an interesting historical piece and had fun action and decent storytelling.

This was such a great movie and the actor's did a fantastic job. The director did a great job on the movie. I was just awestruck. I love James Franco's character in the movie and recommend that everyone watch this video and enjoy.

Rotten tomatoes really got it wrong this time. A great WWI flim for any collection.
