RE: Dunkirk
I was rather disappointed. Probably give it a 6/10. Several comments above are relevant - you certainly don't get any idea of the scale of the real event from this - small groups of soldiers on a big beach. And similarly with the air combat. It is certainly not a Saving Private Ryanesque type of realistic gore fest either, no blood or limbs flying around.
Several cliches.
Indeed not much character development and I didn't care what happened to them. In fact I sort of got lost as to who was who at times as they sort of looked alike.
I didn't care much for the same event seen from different perspectives at different times, it sort of got confusing.
Certainly aimed at a British audience. One could be forgiven for thinking that the French played little or no part.
And the variations on Elgar's Enigma Variations drove the wife mad. Being a purist it's a case with her of good music or no music.
