Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "The Red Baron" or "Der rote Baron" is a German movie from 7 years ago. It was basically the attempt to turn young German actor Matthias Schweighöfer into an international superstar. And it went all kinds of wrong. The first problem is that Schweighöfer simply does not have the talent for an international breakthrough. It#s already pathetic enough that he is so successful with his German films to this date. i wish German audiences would finally see the light that he has pretty much nothing to offer in terms of talent. It is pretty sad to see how he really wants it, but simply does not have the talent in this film here. However, his lack of ability is not the biggest problem of this 2-hour movie. It is the script. The writer and director is Nikolai Müllerschön and I have no clue why they lat him in charge here given his films before that were all mediocre at best, some even really bad and he made mostly television work. This was a project with international stars (Headey, Fiennes) and I truly wonder who greenlit Müllerschön as the man to make this happen. The dialogs are uninteresting most of the time, sometimes downright bad. The action is boring from start to finish and same goes for the flight sequences.I mentioned "The English Patient" in the title here and I can tell you why. Not only is there a Fiennes in this movie, but it also takes place during wartime and is about a man who meets a nurse (with a foreign accent) and falls in love with her while trying to juggle the professional aspects of his life. Of course, Schweighöfer has nothing on Ralph Fiennes and this film here is vastly inferior in all other areas to compared to the Best Picture Academy Award winner. Lets look at the supporting cast. Til Schweiger is in here as well and more lackluster than usual. Apart from that, he plays a man who is under 20 years old with Schweiger Himself being almost 50 in this film. Enough said. It is really a bad joke. Still I believe Schweiger is even at that point a more talented actor than Schweighöfer and he is certainly no Daniel Day-Lewis. The only ones I cannot blame are the many German and Czech supporting players and also Fiennes and Headey have basically no chance of saving this crappy film. Not recommended.

tvspace This movie turns Manfred von Richtofen into an Abercrombie & Fitch model, prancing around in expensive scarves and dashing hats, batting his feminine eyes and pouting boyishly. The love story is straight out of a soap opera -- she emerging from his combat tent, disheveled, as he climbs into the cockpit, perfectly coiffed for battle.The CGI combat scenes are enjoyable to some extent for a WWI aviation enthusiast like myself, but at the end of the day they are not in the same league whatsoever with the 1930 movie Hell's Angels, so you must concede that in 80-odd years we have only gone backwards in that department.Most disappointing about this film are the gross liberties taken with history. While a bit of fudging is to be expected, this movie simply pays no heed to actual events, reshaping every persona and story to suit its inane melodramatic sensibilities. The irony is that the real history is far more interesting and captivating than what the B-team screenwriters have come up with here. Some day they will make a better movie out of the raw historical facts being cast aside here, and I hope I live to see it.

niutta-enrico A nice movie, not completely faithful to Manfred Von Richthofen's life I'm told, but very pleasant to watch. A fantastic production with beautiful scenes, great battlefields and very good actors: Matthias Schweighöfer over all.How could you become a hero without killing anyone? How can you win fear but not be able to cope with the death of those you love? How can you grow up as a Prussian gentleman and yet despise militaristic societies? These are the universal themes the movie deals with and I found it very interesting.The man himself really was and still is a legend by all means.

First name Last name This movie couldn't be more inaccurate if it tried. An unrealistic, badly written waste if time.The facts of this mans life are easy to find out and are more interesting than the fantasy plot of this movie. If film makers are going to make a fictional film like this then why use a real man as a basis for it?If a film is to be based on a real person then please use facts. Se5a aircraft in 1916? A love interest when there is no documented evidence? Actors clearly in their 40's playing those in their 20's and Richtoffen shooting down Roy brown?Just a few of the long list of fail for this movie.
