Red Tails

Well I was really anticpating this WW II flick. I love planes and this is a WW II airwar movie. The acting was wooden. The story in this flick was sorely lacking. And that is a shame since this is based on the exploits of the Tuskegee Airman. They endured racial hatred at home and they still wanted to fight for their country. These airman had to go above and beyond the call of duty to prove they could do the jobs they joined the Army Air Corp.

That's why I'm disappointed in the film. The story lines running thru this movie were not written very well. You had two great actors in this movie, Terence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. Both were wasted in this movie. The only redeeming aspect was the action scenes of the air combat. CGI has allowed George Lucas to at least give us realistic action scenes.

I still recommend this movie to anyone who likes to watch a flick regarding WW II. Just don't expect a great movie.

I rate this movie a 5 out of 10 due to the action scenes.

Till next time.....
