Watched this for the first time and liked it. The first hour is great going through the making of Hell’s Angels, then it gets slightly slow, but never boring.
Scorsese also is not great with spectacle. Much of the visual effects look pretty bad. It’s a shame Nolan never got his project off the ground with Jim Carrey. He’d have made the aerial footage incredible.

I love the movie, but yeah, the visual effects aren't very good.

I haven't seen it since the mid 2000s but I remember the VFX looking decent at the time. The plane crash scene was pretty intense.
Also, come in with the milk.

They probably looked pretty good for the time. They don’t even look that awful now, but Nolan, or even Mann if he directed instead of just producing, would’ve went in the air and filmed for real. The crash scene is excellent once it gets to the point where they went practical. I’m surprised that didn’t earn it an R rating.

Should've won Best Picture, Director, & Actor.
Got me to blind buy Hell's Angels on DVD, & it's f'n glorious.

Three pilots died making the actual Hell's Angels so I don't really hold it against Marty for going digital. Though of course, if Nolan had the skill and clout he has now in 2004 to do those scenes for real they would be something else. One point in favor of Marty is that Nolan and Mann are much more clinical filmmakers. Marty is more of a humanist so this movie is a lot more emotionally engaging to me than, say, Oppenheimer or Ali were.

Yeah I don’t think Marty would care at all to hear someone say they didn’t love the aerial stuff. They were short and oddly shot, he clearly wanted to get back to the character stuff. Which is fine to me, he did the rest great.

I’ve always found that final scene so incredibly eerie.
