  • Christy Lemire needs to play some rpgs.

  • The movie was fine, except any american pilot wasn't able to shoot down ME 262s as easy as they made it.

  • @MrKe4bss Besides what I wrote MUST be TRUE because you couldn't dispute it. So instead you try to deflect from The TRUTH by calling me a racist. Who the fuck ISN'T Racist?

  • @MrKe4bss News Flash, EVERYBODY is Racist, grow the fuck up, EVERYBODY is racist. What did you think calling me a racist was supposed to make me feel? EVERYBODY is fucking racist.

  • @MrKe4bss Red Tails is NO Worse than other movies of the same starring WHITE actors, the same movies that WHITE people lavish praise & awards upon. It IS a GREAT movie merely b/c it depicts African American males as aeronautical heroes, because it was written, directed, had lead actors as protagonists that are African American, because the movie depicted who always saves "whitey's ass": STOP focusing on insipid anachronisms.. You are DISMISSED. Im an ADULT Ur A CHILD.

  • @rachelsOne what ever you say racist!

  • dont connect with characters in video games? my ass!

  • Man, we need actual good movies done by black pple, not this red tail garbage in which George Lucas interfered to much with. And everybody saying this was s GREAT movie, you probley think fast and furious was a master piece. Go watch glory if u wanna see a good mostly black cast war movie. Or u can watch a shittey stereotype of a older, over weight, black woman played by a man

  • "You know, you white men turn red when your angry, yellow when you're cowardly, and green when you're sick, and yet, you call us colored."

    BEST LINE IN A MOVIE EVER!

  • "In a videogame, you don't feel compassion for the characters"

    Hold on, I'll fix this...

    "In BAD videogames, you don't feel compassion for the characters"

  • theese guys are horrible reviewers. Just a bunch of chumps.

  • Red Tails is GREAT and it's amusing to see white people all upset, it's almost as if Barack Obama is already re-elected President. White people just can't take it! LMFAO.

  • @rachelsOne Red Tails is not a great movie. Don't confuse these reviewers comments with trying to bash the black actors, they are bashing the makers of the movie. Red Tails is another example of Hollywood film makers not doing a little home work on a historical subject. For example: the pilot at the end of the movie who shot down the ME262 jets? The real guy was Lee Parker, who survived the war and was an Ace pilot.

  • @MrKe4bss the real guys name was Lee Archer, not Parker, he was an Ace but he never shot down an ME262, he shot down 5 BF109s and I don't think he was still overseas with the 332nd when the Berlin mission happened. The ME262s were shot down on the day(24Mar1945) by Roscoe Brown, Robert Williams and Samuel Watts, two more ME262s and one ME163 were also claimed as probables (not confirmed kills) and three more ME262s were claimed as damaged.

  • @dberaupilot You are correct: He was Lee Archer. The number 2 man of the Gruesome Two-some. Hey, I admit I am in a learning mode on this topic. Trying to keep history straight is a full time job. Thanx for the info.

  • @2gogols This was a frakking GREAT film and the acting was no worse than ther dozens of films we see starring whites that get praised beyond belief. White people just hate it when people of color are depicted as intelligent annd capable, they always want us displayed as servants. That's why the movie "The Help" got all those Oscar nominations. Thank you George Lucas and FUCK You to the rest of Hollywood.

  • What the heck, this guy on the left is a jackass. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

  • A movie with a black cast, that relies on acting, without Denzel, will suffer from bad acting.

  • @Williamkurk I don't think Denzel is all that. Puhleez. He's too overrated.

  • @Williamkurk And you still suffer from being a buffoon. Hello.

  • LOL this movie was sooooooo baaaaaad.... btw before anyone accuses me of being racist, I'm not, I just found the story and acting to be utterly terrible. Literally lulz worthy.

  • The move is one HUGE cliche, but a lot of fun and visually spectacular. Just don't look at it too closely or expect too much accuracy. For instance, the German destroyer that Lightning shoots up is in fact a British battleship! Besides the fact that no fighter plane could ever sink a warship with machine guns, Lightning is in a heap of trouble for that one! Still, I enjoyed it immensely! AZ

  • @tomandbenny Gee when the white boy Channing Tatum plays a

    dumb ass do you come online and say that he is one HUGE cliche?

    No U don't b/c it would be cliche if the actors in Red Tails played pimps, gangstas, and thugs dumb ass! Figure out what the fuck you mean and write it correctly. Did you even see thje fucking movie? NO battle ship was sunk by a plane,OMG shut the fuck up dumb ass.

    Who gives a shit about movie anachronisms? Battleship: German or British? What a LOSER U R!

  • Ugh, certainly did not like this movie. My dad said the opening sequence reminded him of the movie Cars. The red text floating around was extremely obnoxious, the majority of the acting was lacking, and a number of scenes were very unnecessary. In some spots I couldn't even tell who the main character was.

    I'm a total Star Wars fan, but it was a bad move for Lucas to finish his career with this movie.

  • @clonecody45 Okay jealous TEAPubliKKKan. Funny how great moivies always have haters unless whites star in them.

  • @rachelsOne I was being completely honest you fucking ass. I'm posting MY opinion on a REVIEW. I did not need your opinion on MY opinion. Go back under your bridge you troll.

  • @clonecody45 Did I imply that you were being dishonest?, you inarticulate little teen piece of shit. Take that testorerone that is making you hostile and aim it somewhere else. Dumb ass motherfucker.

  • @rachelsOne Thanks for your lovely advice, and I hope you have a great weekend!

  • I'm black and I enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches.

  • Dude this movie was a lot of fun and exciting. I loved the movie. It was so great.

  • I feel bad for the women in the middle...shes was annoying me at first but when i realised that her 2 other co-host werent really paying her any attention i started feeling bad for her...man it must be tough being a women in todays society LMAO.. now stfu

  • Horrible movie. Horribly written, directed and even edited. It's just a mess.

  • The movie flopped, the idea of the negro excelling at anything besides sports is to fictional.

  • @8Chancellor8 Explain Russell Simmons excelling in business or Oprah in television and communication, 50 cent in music and business, explain why a Nigerian by the name of Aliko Dangote is black as the day is long but is worth 13.8 BILLION DOLLARS? if you’re going to troll with bigoted remarks at least put some effort in it a nice day :)

  • I don't get this notion of someone having to be racist if they dislike this movie. Obviously the real history is amazing and we all have great respect for the Tuskegee airmen. Having said that, this is a shitty movie. Just because a story should be told doesn't mean you can't fuck up the telling. And it's not disrespectful to point that out. What's disrespectful is that they made a shitty movie about an amazing story.

  • @zimbop1 no your entitled to your opinion. no one is calling you racist for no liking the movie, but if you read some of these comments a lot of people have a lot more to say about the casts race than there actual performance.

  • What was the last video game ANY of the reviewers ever played?? Are they freaking kidding me?

  • These people reviewing and critiquing the movie are just straight up ignorant and have no right to review it at all if this is how they truly rate the movie and how they really talk about it. The 332nd Fighter Group, a.k.a the Tuskegee Airmen, were deployed numerous times but were particularly successful in the campaigns in Europe. Even their fellow pilots in the bombers they protected took to calling them "Red-Tail Angels". This is American history at its best and it deserves proper respect.

  • @Shadow07Warrior1989 You talk about the actual history. The reviewers were reviewing THE MOVIE. As they mentioned, there are other versions of the story told in a better way.

  • @emanimal728 The history is what drives the movie, and no matter who directs or writes it and no matter how the story is told it deserves the proper respect. That was my point from before. Going in and critiquing the movie without regards to the subject history or a healthy respect for why it's even being told at all is a folly and you may as well not comment on it if you don't know what it's about and why.

  • hard to watch white people bash black movies...i just wish whites would grow balls and be str8 fwd racist and not front like they not...hell whites wont even admit they are mutated dna of black people....i bet all 3 of these turds were nerds in school, cause they still seem like geeky lil twats...

  • @RomeoProductionz Unfortunately that myth of whites being mutated blacks is completely untrue and history has all the proof there is to back up the fact that blacks and whites have always been separate peoples. However, you are right about those of us who are racist coming out and just admitting they're racist. I for one am proud of this aspect of American history and I find this movie to be a wonderful piece of it brought to the big screen and put right in the face of racist whites of America.

  • @RomeoProductionz What the fuck are you going on about? So white people can't like bad black movies cause they're bad? All white reviews have to like all black movies? It sounds like they have problems with the movie cause the writing was bad and the acting was below par for skilled vets (gooding, howard) I'm black and I find no offense with this review seems just like a bad film.

  • german planes the markings arent right

  • I love you flickers!

  • I guess the young turks would rather watch black face movies.

  • Bitch please! Its Lucas and ILM, OF COURSE it will suck!

  • I am glad I didn't listen to critic. The really enjoyed the movie. Highly recommended!

  • @Prophetess7 and how much did lucasarts pay you to post that. Either that or youre an idiot dazzled by CG.

  • @Prophetess7 Critic don't give the fuck that you don't give them the listen.

  • You guys are awesome. Would love to get where you are.

  • Ben probably hasn't played a videogame in decades! Play Portal 2, Uncharted 3, etc. and tell me they're not moving!

  • I saw this movie today and it sucked. Regardless of whose name is listed as director, it has George Lucas' hack fingerprints all over it. The dialogue is cringe-worthy, no attempt is made to place any of the film's events into any kind of historical context, and the narrative is completely incoherent. The real Tuskegee Airmen deserve to have their amazing story told in a first-class motion picture. It's a real pity this isn't it.

  • I take it Ben hasn't played very many video games.

  • @ArtemisMS

    Christy Lemire needs to play some rpgs.

  • i think with the dogfight scene it could ve been alot better, like it only focus on the main the characters and there was nothing going on in the background during a battle where you would see all the planes dogfight it out but it was a goo movie i just had expectations for it but that george lucas for ya.

  • A solid 8 out of 10. The acting was decent, the main cast of the young black pilots were the best. The big stars like Cuba Jr. and Terrance Howard did horrible in this film, their acting was almost as shit as the German Pilots that did One-liners like: "These guy are Rookies" or "Show no Mercy". Things like that took away from the much better acting from the main cast.The side stories were also shit, the stupid love story and prison break was sloppy. The main story was epic, the CGI was amazing.

  • This was a great movie and from the start I would like to say only T.Howard's character "Tackled racism..." (So thanks for making this review an immediate systematic cliche) He passed down info to Cuba's role and everyone else just " fought, fought, fought" so wtf are you talking about. It was a good take on American history all summed up in 2 hours with characters who wore their emotion, and the dialogue was toned down to counter radical responses from sub-groups. All in all it was a great film

  • Play Halo, Gears of War, Uncharted or even Modern Warfare and if you dont feel compasion for any characters in these games then stop playing pong and come to the future.

  • Comment removed

  • lol i love how one of the Taggs say "African American" Lol! "We Are Getting our Reparations!

  • who are these losers...?...never mind...i don't want to know

  • They have never seen late 40s early 50s movies like "Sands of Iwo Jima", I feel like that was the kind of dialogue the film was going for. To fair I have only seen clips of the film, but I do plan on seeing the whole thing.

  • Watch the 1969 film The Battle Of Britain. Compared to it this film is a total joke. You actually learn something about history with the 1969 film and it is told from both sides, English and German.

  • Dialogue: Okay, so it was spotty in some parts, mainly during the opening scene and one liners from extras.

    I'm Black and I was actually surprised that the dialogue for the Tuskegee pilots was believable. They actually sounded like Black folks, not like out of touch white writers trying to write Black dialogue like most Hollywood movies. Kudos to George Lucas for being smart enough to get an experienced Black writer to write those scenes. In my opinion, Boondocks' McGruder got it spot on.

  • ... Aren't these the same reviewers that thought Melancholia was an amazing film? They need to stop hating.

    Red Tails was suppose to be a fun fighter pilot movie for young folks, inspired by true events. And it was just that.

    It was a fun, good movie. I'm going to see it again in theaters. The fight scenes were awesome!

  • I saw Red Tails this morning, and I think it's an EXCELLENT movie.

  • Tuskegee Airman with dubstep on its commercial, that's what I described it as. And I had no idea it was -actually about the Tuskegee Airman-. Christ.

  • That's the kind of movie, you fell bad saying it sucks... I feel like george lucas wanted to make up for the allegations that jar jar binks was somewhat of a racist caricature... weather or not it's a warrented accusation is another debate (i feel like it is, and that's the reason why i never liked the prequels...)

  • 3:24 "fuck whitey"

  • Im black and i liked this movie. Sure the acting was hookey at times and the beginning was a little blah with the bomber...but it gave me badass dog fights and it gave me some badass black heros who won fights and got laid. We black viewers go watch tons of movies with white actors and praise them but when one black movies comes out people leave comments like "im not watching this movie cause its about a bunch of niggers" i hope a part 2 and 3 comes out.

  • @2gogols You should read the NYTimes piece Matt mentioned; your response is exactly what Lucas was going for.

  • @ArtemisMS well he got what he was looking for from me. cause i enjoyed every minute of the film.

  • @2gogols 

  • @2gogols Well these people are leaving bad commments for several reasons: 1. They don't want to see competent black people. 2. They want top see blacks as drug dealers, servants, ganstas and thugs. If they see blacks as equal or as intelligent as them (and they are dumb fucks) they can't handle it. Shit half of them can't even read this comment correctly.

  • "There are no loosers here". "Or are there?". Ouch, that was awesome.

  • I would have to disagree with these guys, I really enjoyed this movie.

  • watch the original movie... then watch this one... let me know which one is better. save your money

  • I actually enjoyed this movie a lot great movie I recommend it...I think you guys are being way too hard on it. I give it an 8

  • I've been saying this for months - this is the 'Black Pearl Harbor' movie.

  • LOL Ben is so typical with his brute-headed ignorance.

  • @irishphil757 why don't you go kill yourself you dickless faggot.

  • Comment removed

  • I still give George Lucas credit because he came against a lot of opposition in the process of making this movie. Because of that, there were bound to be some flaws, but this movie opens the door for more black actors to be heros and not just a bunch of thugs, pimps and drug dealers. I George Lucas is a hero for giving the black youth better role models in film.

  • Who go to a Lucas film to watch a good story. The new starwars movies sucked but the action was great. The new Indiana Jones story sucked but the action was okay. I already no the dialogue was going to be corny just by the trailer. And yet I still want to see the movie for the action I probably will just fast forward all the talking parts. Lucas films lately are a lot a like Michael Bay films light on the story heavy on the action.

  • I'm not going to watch this movie because it's about a bunch if niggers LOL

  • @irishphil757 Don't you wanna find the one that could be you daddy though?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm about to go see it but after seeing some reviews i'm expecting it to be not that great. Wow, why the bad reviews ?

  • black people need to be pissed about this movie

  • @mrgraybutler im black and i am pissed lol

  • Walked out of this yesterday. Walked out half way through it. Was so dissapoitned.

  • People need to over the whole star wars thing and move on

  • corny dialogue is a lucas trademark

  • BEN is playing the wrong games, i played Deus Ex human revolution and my pilot was about to die, man i had to play that stage over and over and over again until i saved her, really made me care, definitely good game get it. Who know what im talking about?

  • Comment removed

  • Indeed he isn't playing the right video games.... I don't like losing my companions in Skyrim, or losing my family members in Rome Total War.

  • Man the hate the hate,when he dies everyone is going to say how a great filmaker he was, like they did to micheal jackson.

  • @update613 people LOVED MJ WHILE HE WAS ALIVE DAMMIT!!

  • Lucas is an arrogant money making idiot. Ever since the phantom menace (and arguably "Howard the Duck"), everything has been about money for him. This was not him trying to make a sincere story into a sincere movie, he just made a sincere story into a box office juggernaut. Yes, the dogfights were awesome, but like they said they have no texture or importance. They just get in their planes and fight. And the ground story is just filler in between the fights.

  • @Cpc5000 I agree inglourius basterds had bad dialogue at times, it was not perfect, no one said it was completely terrible bet you if george lucas was involved they would have.

  • Matt to the defence of video games. Oh yeah.

    

  • I would trust these clowns to review a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

    Red Tails is a great film that begs for better production value. It is definitely worth watching even if you think the dialogue is "hoakie" (can you say Quentin Tarantino). The audience I saw it with gave it TWO sustained rounds of applause.

  • Fuck critics this is a black no one cares what you white dudes say

  • Hey Ben, gotta agree with Matt. I've totally felt compassion for characters in video games. Play some fucking Skyrim

  • @CenkIsAdorable

    Ben is just being ignorant.

    Skyrim, MGS3, MGS4, Max Pain, BIOSHOCK, Final Fantasy Series, Heavy Rain, Shadow of the Colossus, Silent hill 2. Just to name few...

  • @elpatriotaLX Ya I feel that Matt Atchity is by far the most down to earth out of all these movie reviewers. If I want to see if a movie is good or not I mostly go by his review. I too thought that Warrior was the best movie of 2011.

  • this is bad, lucas put up his own money to get this made. apparently the SAME probably he had with his star wars....a bad script. i cant understand this.how can you spend all that money for a movie, and not start with a good script????

  • Comment removed

  • It's obvious that Lucas is just wanting to reap the benefits by making a prequel to Hart's War. Working backwards instead of forward is the George Lucas way.

  • @BlueFalcon86 What the hell are you talking about? Prequel for what? Red Tails is true story

  • @sweetheart2109 Watch Hart's War. The same guy who played a Red Tail in this movie also plays a Red Tail in Hart's War but was shot down. Therefore, this movie is actually a prequel to Hart's War telling us his account before he was shot down.

    George Lucas is just capitalizing off of the success of the earlier movie by adding more black people lol.

  • @BlueFalcon86 Lucas is planning a prequel and a sequel to red tails. I seen Hart War before and only thing is Terrance Howard was in both films however he is playing to different characters in the film.

  • @sweetheart2109 George Lucas is well known for changing original movies into his own vision. In the original Star Wars he changed the story a great deal such as Greedo shooting first instead of Han, or Obi-Wan's friendship with Anakin in Episode IV into a nagging wench in episode II and III. Hart's War Episode 1 is no different except he's focusing more on life before that pilot was shot down.

    I see where you're coming from, but it becomes clear when you understand Lucas.

  • @BlueFalcon86 George changed star wars a couple times...but so what George is like the only director I know that encourages his fans to make their own fanfic films about his franchises...even founds them on occasion embraces the video game industry to do star wars stories there way, you all are way too hard on George. No one said anything when Quinton terantino changed all of ww2 history in inglorious bastards to where a Jewish platoon killed Hitler.

  • @2gogols Sometimes, great directors come out of the ashes of their failures. George Lucas can either sulk or rise up.

    And I did say something about Quentin Tarantino's film. I think it borrowed too much from the Kill Bill movies.

  • Movie pitch for Red Tails: So basically its the Fast and Furious...but with airplanes. Oh, were also gonna tack on the Tuskegee airmen tag to give it a broader appeal.

  • I'm so happy Matt knows what The Boondocks is :DDDD

  • The problem with the movie's trailer is that it looks like something the South Park creators nail when they parody melodramatic action movies, like they did in Team America and any Randy Marsh episode ha

  • I hate this guys

  • I bet you if this was not a lucas film, was not produced by lucas,and was not involved at all they would say this movie is the great, bunch of haters

  • @update613 They probably can't over the last three star wars films.

  • Enough already! For how many more million years to come they want to keep making WWII movies? OK we got it germans were very very bad! and we were the good guys cos we dropped more bombs on their civilians! and look at these heroes flying all the way there to kill random people on the ground!

  • I like how Christy always gets the last "bye" in

  • Hey look, Ben finally saw a movie

  • @Stooovieland Hasn't this joke been told before?

  • @Stooovieland lool finally stopped jewing out

  • Armond White called. He says you're all probably racists.

  • 1:38 I guess Lucas had to compromise and cut the black women out of the movie so its not completely a 'black' film.

  • George Lucas has been FAILING since 1989.

  • @atlg8or6137 You noticed that too, huh? LOL

  • Matt is an idiot.

  • Black HollyWood blockbusters never have sophisticated dialogue. The characters are 'dumbed' down because of the stereotype that the audience it's geared toward won't be able to comprehend complex thought. Well at least those with predominantly Black casts.

  • @JohnMRay Wrong. This movie has lame dialog because Speilberg's a CORNBALL! That last Indiana Jones movie was just as lame. And there weren't any bruthas in that one!

    And the term "Black HollyWood blockbusters" is an oxymoron. There ain't no such thing. (As hard as Spike Lee keeps trying. LOL)

  • @qqrk1372 All Indian Jones movies were corny, as they were meant to be. They are homages to the serials from the 1950's, never meant to be taken seriously. As for blockbusters, that term can be used to describe a high budget film. Ones such as, Bad Boys, The Color Purple, or any tripe by Tyler Perry.

  • @JohnMRay Corny and LAME are NOT synonymous. I know all about the origins of the Indiana Jones films and the last one did NOT measure up to the first three. (I hated the second one as well.) And the term blockbuster means BLOCKBUSTER. Most of the crap Hollywood makes is high budget. Contraband, Joyful Noise, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. None of Tyler Perry's films have ever been hailed as blockbusters despite their popularity.

  • i expected this movie to be exactly the same as what these guys are saying.....i got called a racist for it

  • @mrchrisanolliewollie Don't you know you can't criticize a film that's focused on anyone other than gringos? Now go sit through War Horse a dozen times as penance! LOL

  • another guilt trip for bad-bad whitey

  • love the people in the background gives it a homely feel.

  • videogames, when ezio auditore visits altairs library and that spinning shot when we see altair go from alive to a century old skeleton, thats a fucking award deserving moment right there.

  • So Ben played 1942 the video game and didn't feel any depth in the game characters? :o)

  • ''In a video game you don't feel compassion for the characters''

    How long has it been since you played a video game, Ben?

  • Did black pilots really get kills in WW2 this is such politically correct bullshit. It should be censored.

  • @Graham6762 READ A BOOK, GENIUS!

  • @qqrk1372 Wow you are so smart. All caps that must mean you are really condescending and chic. I bet you are unemployed and on the dole. Stupid people answer questions with GIANT LETTERS!

  • @Graham6762 I had to use "GIANT LETTERS" because I know you have trouble seeing with your head so far UP your ASS! LOL

  • @qqrk1372 Haha thats was the best comeback ever!

  • @Graham6762 Do you know anything about the Tuskegee Airmen

  • @Graham6762 Yes

  • Matt, defender of videogames.

  • I would never see another Lucas movie

  • WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAA BEN, I'm not upset but you saying you feel no compassion for the character In video games? You have been playing the wrong games.

  • Still skeptical about the movie. I may enjoy The Boondocks animated series, but the hokey dialogue is seriously laughable.

  • terrence howards voice is distracting
