Great Film overall

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Released in 1927 - This silent-era film (with a story set during WW1) features some great battle scenes both in the air & on land. Its story is somewhat marred by actress Clara Bow who I found to be very annoying with her over-exaggerated facial expressions and cartoonish mannerisms.None of the other actors in "Wings" carried on in such an affected way as Clara Bow did. I can't figure out why she had a tendency to over-do it so much. It only made her look really silly. But I suspect that she thought that it was cute."Wings" is one of the very first mainstream films to show both male and female nudity. Though these scenes are very brief, it is still surprising to see this nakedness in such an early picture as "Wings". This film's real drawing-cards were its realistic battle scenes, which took up a large part of the story. Set in France, it's the aerial dogfight scenes, in particular, that were especially impressive to watch."Wings" has a somewhat overlong running time of 144 minutes.

I found Wings to be a very good movie. Its flying scenes brought me into the battle in the skies and surprised me with how they actually managed to film it. Much of the flying used real planes and it's surprising that they could film from the planes without destroying the cameras or the quality of the film with the vibrations. The acting in the film was great, it had to be since no one actually talked. The title cards weren't overused and were only used when they needed to be. The Actors did an excellent job with their conversations and you could tell what they were saying to each other even though there was no talking. The bubbles scene was ridiculous they were obviously fake, this scene was the worst and the acting during it was terrible. However all the other scenes were great. For me, 2 and a half hours for a silent movie was a long time, but it was still a good movie and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good war and love story.

This was the first movie to earn an Oscar for best movie. i think that it really is worthy of the award. It has a lot of interesting points, the movie is action filled and the story is very exciting. the Acting is far from the quality of actors that we have now in the 21st century, but its amazing what this people was able to do without sound. The characters are well defined and you really connect with them. one thing that impressed me is that this movie doesn't have "bad guys", just normal people in a really bad situation, like the war. The special effects are just another bright part of the movie. Its amazing how almost a hundred years ago they were able to make special effects as good as you can see in this movie: the explosions, the airplanes flying, the compositions, this was an aspect that surprised me. I didn't think that something so elaborate could be done until decades later, but they were able to accomplish great special effects in that time. if you are going to watch a silent movie, let it be this one.

What a spectacle. I was reluctant to watch this movie for a few reasons. For one, its a silent film. I've never been drawn to any silent films and this is the first feature length silent film I've ever seen. Also, this film's age set me off. I had no desire to watch a film made in the 20s, but I'm sure as hell glad I did. Such an impressive feat in film making. I can only imagine the dizzying amount of work it took to get some of these shots. Even close to 100 years later, the drama still feels very modern and relatable. I was completely invested in each of the characters, even though I never heard a word come out of any of their mouths. Maybe I'm just extremely late to the party on this one, and pardon my ignorance, but what a truly amazing movie. I have a new found respect for the earlier days of film.
