It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Black men saving the world...sounds like a pretty good action movie! The Red Tails gives you multiple superheros. They risked their lives so they could make a difference and a BIG CHANGE in history. The all black male cast provided us with an exceptional and unbelievable experience. Despite the major differences between folks at that time and the lack of confidence others had in them the Tuskegee Red Tails never let it get to them, in fact, it motivated them to do better. The movie "Red Tails" was directed by Anthony Hemingway who is a black successful man. It was sponsored by over 50 companies that helped with the production. The movie had really good actors and the star actors are Cuba Gooding Jr., Gerald McRaney, and David Oyelowo. The leading actors are Nate Parker who plays 'Easy' , David Oyelowo who plays 'Lightning' , and Terrence Howard who plays colonel A.J. Bullard. The movie was released on January 20, 2012. It made over $50,000,00 in profits! The movie focuses on the Tuskegee Airmen, as known as the Red Tails, and their challenges they faced during World War II. The movie symbolizes the courageous, brave, and remarkable men and shines a light on the struggles of a African American person in the military in those times. Red Tails is about the Tuskegee Airmen and their journey within WWII. There are many internal and external issues within the characters. Each character in the story plays an important role of the movie. Terrence Howard, who plays colonel A.J. Bullard, plays the character that helps get the Red Tails into real action in the war. Nate Parker, who plays 'Easy', plays the part of the Leader of the Red Tail. He also has a problem that causes his to make a decision of his life. David Oyelowo, who plays 'Lightning', plays the part of a fearless and reckless flyer. Despite his love life he also has to overcome a decision that'll change his life. I absolutely love this movie. My favorite part of the movie was when the white air pilots invited the red tails into the bar for a drink and while they were talking Ne-Yo, who plays' Smokey', said "When you get upset, when you get mad, you turn red, right? When you get envious, or sick, you turn green. When you become cowardly, you turn yellow; and y'all got the nerve to call us colored?". I felt that! He was so right! I definitely recommend this movie! Especially to the African American community. I recommend this movie because it demonstrates the significance of the Tuskegee Airmen and their challenging journey. As an African American young lady I had no knowledge about the Red Tails in WWII. They played just as big of a role as the white pilots did! This movie showed and proved their greatness. They made history even through the segregation, hatred, and so much more they made sure they committed to the promise of making a change in history.
When I got my big-screen TV, the first thing I watched on it (to, you know, calibrate it) was Red Tails. The aerial combat scenes were amazing to watch...And yet, there was so much garbage as well!For one thing, the difference between .30-calibre (that is, 3/10ths of an inch) and 30mm (1.2 inches!) is utterly ignored - big bullets repeatedly do little damage, while little bullets do big damage! People die or don't die as the plot of the story demands, not according to logic. And everyone's a type - no one is a full-fledged, fleshed-out character, but instead they are all a type filling a spot on the roster. I'd still watch it again, if only to hear the head mechanic shout the line, "Did someone shoot a train at you?!" one more time. If you want the real story, The Tuskeegee Airmen is out there. If you want to take your brain out and put it in a box, try this one.
The trailer makes the movie look so much better, while the movie is very underwhelming. The audio is the worst part, the voices don't make sense and don't sound good. Everyone's voice is so bland, monotone and unbearable. The action scenes are decent, but the audio and voices just make you forget about them.
"Red Tails" is terrible, sometimes hilariously terrible, though I really couldn't enjoy the movie for its ineptitude because it's an affront to the real men who fought. I knew the movie had a bad reputation but I figured at least the aerial battles would be good, but no, they just looked like a video game and the pilots were doing all the wrong things. There were some good performances, but Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. just phoned it in. They probably knew from the script that the movie was a dog. Such a shame.I plan to see "The Tuskegee Airmen" soon; hope it's a lot better than this!
