spirou666 Review of Iron Eagle

Iron Eagle (1986)

Don't watch it again if you have loved it as a child ;)

[4/10 · 8 June 2001]

I loved this movie 10 years ago when I was about 16 years old. My biggest mistake was to watch it again, 10 years later. It's not the worst "I-wanna-be-a-pilot" movies ever, but it has so many flaws in it that you can hardly overlook them.

Queen's "One Vision" (along with the rest of the soundtrack) makes this film better than the average patriotic nonsense you usually get to see ;)
