3.5/5
Though the tone is weird and the aerial acrobatics rather crude, this tale of a WWI pilot morphing from yellowbelly to blood lust is a surprisingly grim antiwar parable. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 06/21/2017

A dated anti-war film about a hero flyer becoming disillusioned with war. Go to Full Review Michael W. Phillips, Jr. Goatdog's Movies 06/08/2006
2.5/5
Worth watching only for fans of the genre... its staginess and bullet-point delivery make it less complex and less rewarding than other antiwar films of the 1930s. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 02/01/2021 Ace of Aces is a disappointing film. It is about a sculptor who doesn't want to have any part of World War I is shamed by his girlfriend into joining the army. Richard Dix and Elizabeth Allan give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. J. Walter Ruben did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
