Red Tails Movie Review

HOT TOPIC: I do a movie review for "RED TAILS", the movie is based of true historical events. It is about the Tuskegee Airmen the first black (African American) fighter pilots in WW II (World War 2). I rate this movie a 7 out of 10 (7/10), and that is kind of me because really this movie deserves a 5 out of 10 (5/10). The budgeting and founding obviously wasn't there, and the comical aspects where a slap in the face and just down right disrespectful to the Tuskegee Airmen, their families, and their legacy.

ALL MY OPINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep good review. Soo looking forward to this one as well. I give it a 5 out of 10. Like you said the CGI was overboard. Too fake and too much of it. Poorly written. I couldn't believe how bad the acting was as well. It's just one CGI action scene after another with very little story about the characters or more important the history of the Tuskegee Airmen. I have the Tuskegee Airmen on DVD and it's much better than this film.

@Glashawk1 Thank you I received a lot of ppl getting mad at me about the review but I was like F it I am telling it like it is, no sugar coating this film was horrible and should of been light years better then the b/s they came out with! And right all the action scene pretty much where fake, and they had so many of them that took away from the movie, then all the unnecessary jokes throughout the movie was not right at all...making fun of something so serious.

@JiaIreland You know what, even before your sincere review, I already had doubts about the film. Simply the fact that George Lucas was behind the project. The version with Lawrence Fishburne was much better and serious. But some of us know why this movie did not get the glory like great films such as 'Saving Private Ryan, Glory etc

Yeh I saw the movie. I think the media does what it always does in portrayal of Black Americans.It was just joke after joke, but the white pilots were all serious and restrained. Does that seem right? All the media shows is a jokey-jokey black guy, or a black guy who can play sports/dance/sing but nothing else.

Thanks for reviewing this!! I am most likely not going to watch this movie because I am hearing a lot of people saying its a low budget bust.

@JiaIreland ..Good reviewing job. You are appreciated.

@JiaIreland Lady you spoke the truth. I already suspected your points about the film from some of the clips I observed. To be frank, when I heard George Lucas was behind the project- I was already disappointed. The sad thing is that the original movie with Lawrence Fishburne really gripped me especially Cuba Gooding Jnr's death. You connect with the actors in that film. Agree, too many jokes - that was very disrespectful. This movie deserved the same Saving Private Ryan quality.

They should have put denzel Washington in it

Thank YOu! I rate this a 0 out of 10 because it doesn't deserve a 1! This movie was terrible and very cheaply done! Lifetime wouldn't even play this garbage!

Enjoyed your review. However your facts are off. Lucas put nearly $100 million into the film. He didn't direct it, Anthony Hemingway did. G.Lucas tried to get the film made for 30 years. Anyway your right the story deserved to be at a Saving Private Ryan level.
