Red Tails (2012)
1/10
Bad
11 May 2012
This is a pretty bad movie. First of all the story of Tuskegee Airmen is too good for this load of crp. If you wanna watch a decent movie about that watch the 1995 TV movie Tuskegee Airmen which has decent drama and good acting. This movie, the Red Tails has nothing of that. Bad acting, bad scenario and bunch of ridiculous tech sequences and inaccurate history. Even though we know from the history that these airmen were among the best the US Air force had during the WWII, the battle supremacy of them against the Germans was highly exaggerated. It seemed Germans lost the whole air force during this movie. These guys are destroying German jets with their Mustang planes just like they were running the Star Track Enterprise. Lets just mention that Me 262 was so hard to get that Mustang planes to confront them had often special engine mounted on the plane just to be able to achieve the same speed at least for a short time as what you can't see you can't get. In most of the cases it was one Me262 on many Mustangs P51 and still hard to get while it was causing havoc of many kills and great fear among the US fighter planes. Most of the Me262 destroyed simply fell down due to malfunction but the US Air force used to claim kills to raise the moral of the pilots. The reason why operational jet fighter Me262 couldn't change the course of the war is cause it was produced in very small numbers coming too late. Now, in this movie the US Pilots are destroying the Me262 in a dog fight one on one. To give you the picture, that is the same ridiculous as to see the World War One airplane destroying Mustang P51 in a dog fight. Since he went that far the director could also involve F22 being destroyed by these guys. All in all - pretty irritating.
