Some said it plodded, was boring.

What did you think?

Little dialogue but high intensity action. I was totally engrossed in the movie. Two thumbs up. Go see it.

I'll pitch in with my opinion. I saw the movie last Friday.

I don't know who these "some said it plodded, was boring" movie critics are but they didn't see the same movie as I did.

The movie has three plots woven into the whole story and it was very well done.

The plot is divided into three stories covering land, sea and air. The story follows the troops on the beaches trying to get home. The civilian boats headed from England to rescue them and transport them back home across the channel. And some fighter planes providing air cover for the troops on land and in the boats returning to England.

The movie is neither plodding, boring or any other negative critique one might come up with. It is fast moving and almost non-stop action. Showed how violent and dangerous war is to the troops fighting it, especially in this case where their backs were up against the sea and they had no defenses. Sitting ducks.

I see a lot of movies. This is one of the best this year.

My wife and I saw it today. VERY good movie. I highly recommend it. It will be a classic in a few years.

I just saw the film today, and even though I saw it on a smaller screen, it was exceptional. A very moving experience.

Lots of action intertwined with three separate strands that come together brilliantly at the end.

This is a move that celebrates camaraderie and courage. This is not a weeny anti-war movie.

Anyone who says it plodded is most likely a feral idiot that requires the vapid intensity of a Transformers movie to be entertained.

How could I enjoy it, there were no minorities or women in it?
