The Red Baron

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It doesn't lack ambition, and it boasts undeniably thrilling source material, but The Red Baron is brought down by its overly sentimental script and a number of historical inaccuracies.

Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times If the film is intelligent and thoughtful, it is unfortunately lacking in energy and passion; it is more a somber, highly familiar reflection on warfare and its toll than an action movie. Rated: 3/5 Mar 18, 2010 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter Drama about World War I flying aces never gets off the ground. Mar 18, 2010 Full Review Tim Grierson L.A. Weekly Unfortunately Muellerschoen's movie emphasizes empty grandeur over human drama. Mar 18, 2010 Full Review Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine One can see how its overtly soapy, lowest-common-denominator antics would play comfortably in various climes. Rated: 2/5 Mar 24, 2010 Full Review Matt Soergel Florida Times-Union A stodgy but good-looking war film, with many stirring scenes of aerial combat. Rated: 2/4 Mar 22, 2010 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson Geekweek Alas, this BARON is barren, more dead than red. Mar 20, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Retired A Very good movie and based on a true story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/27/22 Full Review Royal S The cinematography is good and I like the direction and the soundtrack but the dialogue is so wonky and the movie is so historically inaccurate that my friends and I made a drinking game out of it where we drink at every (significant) historical inaccuracy and I vomited halfway through and had to stop 20 minutes before the movie ended or I would have probably died. Two stars for soundtrack and cinematography and half a star for the impossible drinking challenge. (Would be three stars if I had made it though) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Compared to the 1971 one, this is worse. You really believe Prussian army allowes clothing personalisation during a war? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen much, much worse. If you like WWI, The Imperial Reich, snazzy German uniforms, vintage airplanes, dogfights, Pour Le Merite, etc., and a dashing aristocratic war hero, it's worth a watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member watching this movie and listening the the SABTON Red Barron song!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie, i liked it a lot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
