This is a bit of a pointless revival (is that the right way to describe this?).
I enjoy the '97 film but that was a product of its time with the writing not evolving too well to keep the interest of original fans, as well as attract new ones. The film worked well for its time but this doesn't work now, as much as I like Robert Carlyle and the rest of the original cast.
The new additions, most notably Des, didn't interest or captivate me at all. The younger cast are not great in their roles and the pointless story just bores me. The aforementioned Destiny is not a likeable character in the slightest, and is acted poorly by someone who looked completely disinterested.
I didn't hold high hopes for this, but was ready to be pleasantly surprised, for which I really wasn't.
Some may enjoy this, and if so, fair play to you but I simply didn't. It was silly, not well acted and just pointless.
It's a no from me!

I don't usually watch a film lower than a 7/10 rating but I wanted to give this a go. It was far better than it's current 6.7 rating and I was not disappointed.
As the title of this review says, it was gripping, exhilarating and I really really enjoyed it. I did a bit of reading on the subject matter but I won't spoil anything here. The film showed that social barriers, even during times when prejudices are rife, can be broken down and a brotherhood can be formed no matter what race or social standing these men came from. The bonds formed were between two human beings with a deep respect for one another and their teammates.
The aerial dogfighting scenes are incredible and exhilarating. Everyone is well cast and it's very well acted. The film is shot magnificently, nobody missed a beat. I applaud this film in different ways.
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I would highly recommend it.
Excellent!
