Vicky T I just watched this on TCM. PAramount restored it with a score, and the music was good. Also cool to see young Gary Cooper Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review mark g As a US History teacher and historian it actually took me many many years before seeing this film. It was made in 1927, so comparison to modern films is not possible. Silent films were unique and not made for everyone. However, the filmmaking here is incredible. This was a massive undertaking, with incredible shots and footage, stuff that would cost hundreds of millions to make today. The strength of the film is obviously the action and war scenes, beautiful and captivating. The one thing that I found curious was how Clara Bow was really billed as the star, she actually has a minor supporting role. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Jace T I am actually quite impressed and shocked how good this movie is. It is crazy that this movie is nearly 100 years old. We sure have come a long way in film making since then. There are some beautifully shot scenes on display here. Some of the run time is a little long for things, but you must forgive it for the age of this film. The only thing that really wore on me was the same song being played over and over for the entire 2.5 hour run time, even during times when it should not be feeling as upbeat as the music gives. The story being told here is actually a beautiful and tragic one. A true masterpiece for the era. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Steve M. Great movie with astounding effects that stand up even today. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review Oliver L Revolutionary beauty. Almost 100 years old and it looks amazing. The beauty to show the cruelty of war, with comedy, love and drama makes the 2 hours 20 minutes few. And any fram can be used as a real photo of the war. Oscar deserved. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review ChrisCSH H "Wings" is a true cinematic marvel for its time. The special effects that were used throughout the film are truly spectacular for film of that age of early cinema. It's a film that has many ups and downs throughout. it show every aspect of World War I, and the brave aviators, who fought during that time in that war, they were truly some of the greatest heroes of all time and this picture honors them for their sacrifice. The performances from Clara Bow & Charles "Buddy" Rogers are truly magnificent, especially, Clara Bow, the acting she was able to bring through the camera is truly incredible and her cheerful and exuberant performance shines in this picture. Without any shadow of doubt, "wings" was very deserving of being the very first best picture winner at the Academy Awards. It truly is a fantastic film.
