what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

During this period, African Americans were not accredited for any of their accolades . However, in this film they accomplished just that by making a film that revolves around the African American group, the Tuskegee Airmen. Not only does this movie depict the war of WWII, it displays the social stigma these men faced even though they were fighting a war for people who did not even appreciate it. The Tuskegee Airmen had to fight two wars. Both of these wars threatening their existence. They could have been killed in battle or even been sabotaged by their own allies. Their own allies were not appreciative of them until they realized the Tuskegee Airmen's glaring prowess in the air. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who felt or feels that people still lack appreciation for the Tuskegee Airmen...WATCH THIS! I think that this movie portrayed the racial strife and the success that they had accurately.

This movie is awful. German planes all nicely lined up on a paved airfield. I laughed so hard. The German dispersed their planes. The flying sequences are a joke and so is the cartoon like computer battles.I was given this movie as a Christmas gift. I watched it and threw it away on Christmas.

The trailer makes the movie look so much better, while the movie is very underwhelming. The audio is the worst part, the voices don't make sense and don't sound good. Everyone's voice is so bland, monotone and unbearable. The action scenes are decent, but the audio and voices just make you forget about them.

RED TAILS is George Lucas's throwback to old-fashioned war films where the emphasis is on action over complex storytelling and the like. I know this film was panned on release but I found myself enjoying it regardless, at least on a superficial level. It's not on par with something moving like GLORY but it does tick all of the right boxes and even though parts of the story are clichéd, I was still engaged in the tale.The script is nothing to write home about, playing out all of the usual characters from the wild man fighter ace to the gruff but proud officer and the rookie. The cast is undistinguished with only Cuba Gooding Jr. and Terrence Howard standing out as the guys at the top. However, RED TAILS does offer plentiful action, and it's a lot better than I was expecting. Yes, Lucas is still obsessed with CGI, and absolutely everything in this film is a CGI effect (including a football!) but so much money has been spent in post production that the effects look remarkably good. This is a thrilling, old-fashioned adventure and one I had no qualms about enjoying. It's certainly better than the STAR WARS prequels...
