I saw it in theatres - good action, great fights - less silly than Transporter2.
Plot line is a bit of a wash but nobody should be going to see a flick like that looking for deep plotlines anyway right?
Oh yeah - and Amy Smart - rrrooooowwwwwrrrr!!!
yeah I think thats sums up that movie pretty well. It is a nonstop action movie, its rediculous.
Watched it last night.
Didn't care for it. The wife actually liked it a little, but I wish I would have found something else to do for those 2 hours.

I saw Pan's Labyrinth which was spectacular. I also saw Children of Men, which was interesting... but the movie ended badly (in my opinion) and left a bit of a bad impression on me.
I highly recommend Pan's Labyrinth to everyone, though! Great film.
People who are sticklers for historical accuracy should probably avoid this one, but I found it to be a very enjoyable, fun movie. Flyboys is about the aerial battles of a volunteer American group flying for the French in WWI. General advice to enjoy this movie is to expect nothing. Formulaic plot (what movie isn't, nowadays) but the dogfights between the wooden bi-planes are nicely done. The zepplin scene is probably the best action sequence.
Also watched The Guardian and Gridiron Gang. The Guardian was watchable, as long as you're able to endure Ashton Kutcher. His annoying grin isn't full-blown in this movie, so that was a plus. Gridiron Gang is another Hollywood inspirational youth sports movie and a decent enough football flick.

I was disappointed in the book, didn't even finish it actually, so I'll be avoiding the movie.

I think the movie and book are about different things. The book was about WWII
Haven't seen it yet 'cause it ain't out yet but the trailers look pretty cool for Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes - looks like it has some pretty good special effects. Check out the website if ya haven't seen it - it has a great screensaver I'm using that my son just loves!
