Hell's Angels Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
After nearly a full century, the aerial combat sequences in Hell's Angels remain among the best ever committed to celluloid. That's entirely due to the vision (some would say fanaticism) of director-producer Howard Hughes.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
Hell's Angels spares few thoughts for empty patriotism.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Despite the rather banal soap opera at its core, however, it's hard to deny what a stunning technical achievement this is.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Dramatically, it's a giant flop; and the wooden filmmaking technique only burdens it more. Still, it's hard not to see what wowed audiences in 1930.
The New Republic
Malcolm Cowley
The machine guns are real machine guns, the bombs are real bombs, the drum of motors is the drum of genuine motors. But the actors themselves are false, puny, inadequate, the only real automatons in a world of vital steel.
Three Movie Buffs
Scott Nash
Like a James Cameron movie, it's epic with great action sequences, but weak when it comes to the performances.
Variety
Variety Staff
It's no sappy, imbecilic tale.

Shane Burridge
The two spectacular set pieces are as much the audience's reason for viewing the film as it was Hughes' reason to make it
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Though the film was better than could be expected, it was still done in by its uninteresting love triangle story.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
These air scenes, with the crashing of flaming planes, have never been matched on the screen.
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
The 1930 film has some major weaknesses -- most of the expository scenes, especially a creaky beginning -- but there's enough stunning stuff in it to make it worth seeing.

Christopher Null
Jean Harlow's screen debut isn't much to look at, to be honest. The air battles, however, are another story.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Spectaculat spectacle. Lame drama. Interesting early James Whale
Filmsite
Tim Dirks
Hell's Angels (1930) is known for Howard Hughes' direction, and 18-year-old blonde bombshell Jean Harlow's first major role and big break into film
