Movie Reviews of 633 Squadron
Movie Review: 633 Squadron
Summary: 4 Stars
If your'e English the first time you saw this movie was probably on TV whilst a Test Cricket match was rained off. This film must have been kept on permanent stand-by by the BBC. I consequently saw this for the first time when I was quite young, probably eight or nine years old. I can remember being just blown away by the flying scenes and it's probably because of this movie that the Mosquito is one of my favourite WWII aeroplanes. The plot is predictable and it takes a while to get going but hey your can always fast forward to the real star of the film the ubiquitous 'Wooden Wonder'. Some of the other reviewers have got a point about the parallels with the Star Wars death star, I just can't imagine George Lucas having ever seen this though???Movie Review: Love these Merlin Engines
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is not great, but I enjoyed this movie in a Saturday matinée when I was a kid, and was pleased to see it on DVD.
At the time this film was made, the Mosquitoe fighter bombers had to be the few remaining serviceable planes in the world, and those Merlin engines are just fantastic. Sure the acting is marginal, there are model planes too, but this is a fun movie to watch, and I recommend it for those history buffs out there that like WW II aircraft.
Movie Review: 633 Squadron Will Please Mosquito Enthusiasts
Summary: 4 Stars
Although the story line of this 633 Squadron is entirely fictional, the air and ground cinematography relating to the Mosquito fighter-bombers is good. There are a few scenes where models have been (unavoidably) used which, by today's standards, are just passable. Overall, it is good movie to keep for all aviation enthusiasts who wish to enjoy watching one of the well-regarded combat aircraft of World War II.Movie Review: good flying scenes
Summary: 4 Stars
Airplane buffs will find it worthwhile for the great flying scenes of Mosquitos. Another review said that the DVD was widescreen but mine wasn't and the product info indicates only 1.85:1 ratio. That is disappointing because a lot of the flying scenes are diminished in quality by being clipped to fit the TV screen. But the clipped version is still better than nothing.Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Yet another post-WWII British War Film (they sure did churn 'em out), 633 Squadron is actually a pretty good film; it generates enough excitement through its suprisingly-bleak finale to elevate it above the mundane.
