      Audience Member totally engrossing WWII propaganda Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Maybe it's fatigue from having this stuff presented in a slightly more vigorous fashion in Guy Hamilton's Battle of Britain, but this certainly feels like a lesser entry in the Why We Fight series. Due to the nature of the campaign, it gets very monotonous very quickly. The footage is quite spectacular, though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Also one of the "MUST WATTCH" movies. Really seen how British fighters go to war during the World War II. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
