    Been looking sideward to this for a while after loving Godzilla Minus One. This was a bit of a let down generally in comparison sadly. Felt a lot lower budget in both the acting and the CGI. The story was standard if a little boring. A lot of time is spent talking about what is happening/going to happen rather than stuff actually happening. Some of the dialogue is a little cringeworthy too. Some cool bits but overall way below what I was expecting.

    Not enough context to be a good war film, not enough narrative to be a good film. This film is caught between a rock and a hard place sadly. The story is non-existent and the film doesn’t really do well at explaining what is happening, why and the potential ramifications. For such a pivotal moment in WW2 and British history this one falls short of the mark to me. Would love a Nolan remake of this, Dunkirk is everything this isn’t. However, great practical effects still stand up all these years later, and seeing Michael Caine always brings a smile to my face.

    I could quite happily never watch a Marvel film again.
