Ares, god of war: I can't believe with all those fighter planes they don't show a single crash. What else do you go to the races to see? No boobies, either. I sat through that acting for nothing! Thumbs down.
Dionysos, god of wine: Keep in mind this is no high-budget Hollywood production. The excellent film and sound quality are deceptive--this was made by a bunch of cockpit-jockies with a dream to make their own flick. You have to respect that. The dialogue and plot left me perplexed on occasion, sometimes to comedic effect. It's too bad--if they had gone for a cheesier B-movie style, they might have attracted a cult following. Still, respect for making their vision a reality wins me over. Thumbs up.
Poseidon, god of horses: No greater heir to the war horse is there than the P-51 Mustang. Poseidon cares not what else the movie is or isn't. The Lord of Horses gloried in these warbirds screaming round the pylons. Thumbs up.
