Red Tails

Post by Turdacious »

Dialogue, character development, and plot are weak. The movie does have a lot of aerial combat scenes, with a very cool 40's (almost Rocketeer) vibe. Not a great movie, but probably worth seeing on the big screen for war movie buffs. With more focus and better writing-- this could have been a really good war movie, instead of just an ok one.

How does it differ from Tuskegee Airmen?
I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.

Superior action scenes, much worse plot and direction.

A George Lucas production for sure.
