Windtalkers Ratings & Reviews
- usasand27 August 2025This movie deserves more credit that is given. Good action and better story. Not much is said about code talkers, but they perform a great task in the pacific.
- Das_Lama4 July 2025I actually liked this movie and its premise. My opinion is apparently in the minority based on other reviews. Navajo is apparently a very difficult language to learn. I met a native Navajo speaker and was told that even the slightest change or inflection can change the whole meaning of the word or sentence.
- Brennen Jamison3 May 2025One of the worst war movies I’ve ever seen. The set, dialogue, and atmosphere felt like I was on a movie set the whole time. Zero immersion.
