Can't wait for Liam foxes new TTIP deal . We are a rose between two thorns Thankfully the wonderful French, who helped defend our men stranded at Dunkirk in 1940, once again came to our aid and defeated the TTIP threat. God Save the EU and the French. Merci!

Not really. Script is terrible, characters are forgettable, the action is predictable and the magnitude of the event is never caught. Another film that needs hype to sell it because it knew it was shit in the first place. The public will lap it up unfortunately. It's wank. Seems Large Majority of people who went to see it would disagree with you Are you right and the overwhelming majority wrong then? I thought it was ok. Not great not crap You've got it. Yes, I am right. People moan about the dumbing down of society, whether it be schools, what's on TV, music, film whatever. If a budding film maker or script writer or actor saw this and thought they only have to be this good to make a good film, then that is dumbing down too and when a film like this makes a lot of money at the box office, film companies don't care about if it's good or not. Just give us more of these and we will be happy. It's why a lot of good script writers avoid Hollywood these days and why there has been so much ( mostly yank ) good drama TV shows over the last 15yrs.

Fraise, if you're going to pretend to know anything about French military history, do at least learn to spell "the Ardennes" for fuck's sake. God you're an awful eejit

Will definitely go to see this soon. Was quite surprised at the run time, think it's way less than 2hrs.
On a sidenote, the 5min Dunkirk Beach single-tracking shot scene from Atonement must be one of the most moving war scenes every depicted in cinematic history. The choir gets me every fucking time.

Almost every review for Dunkirk has been 5/5 mate. It's at 94% on Metacritic. But I haven't seen it so i'll have to take your word for it. I know. Which makes me wonder how much magazines might get paid to give a good review. Giving it 5/5 should sit it pretty next to some of the great movies that have been made. It doesn't sit anywhere near them. See for yourself and see I'm not lying. In your opinion what are the great movies? Name some of your favourites. I went to see it on Saturday and thought it was great.

Well the ending doesn't change I thought the older one showed more of the chaos of actually what was going on around Dunkirk and getting there and of course didn't have Harry fucking Styles in it Anyway game of thrones tonight hopefully Ayra kills Ed Sheeran The original was very good , but it's neatly 60 years ago ....that film was a typical film of the time ( starring John Mills the king of the British war film ) it was very different this film shows it a little more graphically .....it's good to see that the new film really puts the RAF's contribution into perspective .....the troops on the beaches used to ask where is the Air Force ? ..they didnt see much of them because they were intercepting the German aircraft miles inland from the beaches ....they enabled the evacuation to take place ....if those aircraft had got through it would have been carnage on the beaches .....the RAF were the unsung heroes of Dunkirk Yes I watched it on kodi as a warm up a few days before a copy of the new one was available. Yes the RAF never used to get a mention definitely played a major role, the other big factor was a stroke of luck that the weather was favourable with heavy cloud cover meaning the germans couldn't fly so much. When I'm on the computer rather than the phone I'll put up a link to a historian who covers the film and facts in much better detail, but that spitfire landing on the sand I don't think so.

I find that anything with Christopher Nolan's name to it seems to be overhyped; case in point is Interstellar - a decent enough movie but certainly no 2001 or Alien.
Ill wait for Dunkirk to land on BR - for me Saving Private Ryan pretty much corners the genre, certainly in the combat scenes

Nolan got a salary of $20 million for this film and gets 20% of gross box office receipts. I think its the most lucrative deal ever given to a writer/director. Haven't seen the film yet, but I found those facts interesting.

Could you honestly say that you wouldn't get bored of this after a few watches ? The good films you can watch time and time again. It's all preference but you know what I mean.

The good films you can watch time and time again. It's all preference but you know what I mean. I wasn't asking to compare them to this film, I just wanted a quick glimpse of your taste in films. I work with a lad whose favourite films are Batman vs Superman and Pain & Gain, movies that I'd rather chop my knob off than watch again - and he walked out of the cinema half way through Interstellar saying it was garbage, a film that is in my top 3. I'm looking forward to seeing Dunkirk again, I saw it on a pretty crap screen at the Odeon on Festival Park so I want to catch it in an IMAX before it goes off. I'll get the special IMAX Blu-ray n'all because the Interstellar one is great.

The original was very good , but it's neatly 60 years ago ....that film was a typical film of the time ( starring John Mills the king of the British war film ) it was very different this film shows it a little more graphically .....it's good to see that the new film really puts the RAF's contribution into perspective .....the troops on the beaches used to ask where is the Air Force ? ..they didnt see much of them because they were intercepting the German aircraft miles inland from the beaches ....they enabled the evacuation to take place ....if those aircraft had got through it would have been carnage on the beaches .....the RAF were the unsung heroes of Dunkirk Yes I watched it on kodi as a warm up a few days before a copy of the new one was available.

When I'm on the computer rather than the phone I'll put up a link to a historian who covers the film and facts in much better detail, but that spitfire landing on the sand I don't think so. The Spitfires narrow track undercarriage would have made that almost impossible ....a Hurricane however with its wider track could have done ....which was one of the reasons that they operated in France from the grass airfields , while the Spitfires flew from Britain .

I'll still remain a fan of the John Mills Dunkirk film. It was an excellent film ...unusual that John Mills was a corporal in that one , he was almost exclusively always cast as an officer ....he may have been an ordinary seaman in " In Which We Serve " though ?

God Save the EU and the French. Merci! A large portion of the Dunkirk rearguard was made up from the B.E.F . ....the saddest part being the number of French troops who had been skulking within the cellars of houses in and around Dunkirk ...coming out and being evacuated whilst those lads of the rearguard were either killed or went into captivity .

'Morning Departure' in which JMs plays a Submarine captain is my most realistic submarine film. I think the older Dunkirk film, has that pride about the miracle of the little boats, I think Dunkirk was a big influence on the British mentality at the time.
