Warbirds Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
simon-trek I admit this movie isn't very good. The visual effects and the acting are poor. The only thing I really liked about this movie were the female pilots. I like the idea of a group of beautiful female pilots during the second world war. I liked the heroine of the film Maxine West, she is as pretty as she is tough and resourceful. I also liked the fact that Brian Krause plays an Air Force Colonel. Because the role Brian is most famous for playing Leo in the Charmed TV series. For those of you who haven't watched Charmed, Leo is a whitelighter for the Haliwell sisters in Charmed. Whitelighters are guardian angels for good witches. And Leo was originally a medic for the U.S. army during the Second World War, he was suddenly killed in a battle and in heaven became a whitelighter. So in Warbirds Brian plays another WWII character but this time he plays a soldier. The flying dinosaurs are scary but aren't very realistic. While the female pilots do have some action in fighter aircraft. It wasn't as intense as I hoped. So I only recommend Warbirds if you like the idea of seeing tough and pretty women in action. But don't have any good expectations about this movie.
dbborroughs Made for Scifi scifi war film set during WW2 about a group of female fliers who normally shuttle planes from place to place being pressed into service in order to transport a an officer, his men and his secret cargo to a secret island. Along the way bad weather they are forced down on to an island by a storm and something else. Upon landing they find that the Japanese are on the island and so is some flying monsters who are very hungry.Goofy offbeat story of the sort that was done best in the 1950's or in comics actually plays pretty good in that vein assuming you accept it for what it is. Lets face it this is is a monsters vs planes story and as that this is a great deal of fun. Is it perfect? Oh lord no (Among other unanswered questions-why is an American truck on a Japanese held island?), but it is the sort of thing to curl with and just sort of have wash over you. Perfect for a night on the couch
Phillemos ...some excitement would be nice. I gotta admit, this movie was a disappointment. True, this flick is typical SciFi Channel Original schlock. But given that I have a soft spot for attractive women and dinosaurs, I thought this would be a winner if for no other reason than the cheese factor. But it was just dull. An American WWII mission ends up with an emergency landing on a desolate island where some Japanese soldiers got ambushed by some killer pterodactyls. Then the Americans get a taste of Pterodactyl Pterror, all the while trying to get their planes off the island and making sure the Japs don't take advantage of the situation. The problem is, there's not enough pterodactyl action; the movie really is more fixated on the WWII angle. The pterodactyls make their presence known but at times they're a secondary plot device to the "secret mission." Hot babe Max West (Jamie Ellen Mann) and her superior Jack (Brian Krause) spend too much time arguing over whether the mission is worth it. The other girls -- Betsy, Vicky and Lana -- serve nicely as eye candy. However, the scene where green galpal Hoodsie volunteers to attempt a solo mission off the island because she supposedly weighs less than Max is a joke, because Hoodsie looks like she needs to go see Jenny Craig while Max definitely takes care of herself. When they are fighting the pterodactyls, this movie is entertaining. But there's just not enough of it. I won't give this a 1 like most people have, because this is definitely better than most crap SciFi channel puts out (i.e., "Kraken: Tentacles of the Deep," "Hammerhead: Shark Frenzy"), but "Warbirds" is only worthy of a disappointing 4.
matt-3030 I don't know what all the bad reviews are about. Don't they know this was a hilarious comedy?! It made fun of all the awesomely horrible monster movies! The lines were so ridiculous and the special FX were brilliantly bad! The music was awesome, just like one of those romantic WWII movies. It included the wacky hair dos and bright red lipstick that could withstand a pterodactyl attack and an atomic bomb blast. Perfect! I have to assume these guys meant to make a comedy. Actually it's even funnier if they didn't. If you want to experience Mystery Science Theater 3000 all over again where you make fun of the movie and laugh your ass off... you'll love Warbirds like I did!
