Re: Lucasfilm's RED TAILS official trailer
Saw it today and have to say that I enjoyed it immensely. I'm the first to scoff at the "white establishment" conspiracy theories, but the reviews for this film are so overwhelmingly negative makes me actually think there may be a conspiracy afoot.
Sure it's corny at times, the opening scene is especially poorly done as exposition and the motivational speech is just as cliche as it appears in the trailers. It's old-fashioned and sentimental too - but the aerial combat scenes are fantastic and the performances are excellent for the most part. Perhaps the reviews had me going in with low expectations, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Leave your cynicism at the door - just for great WWII action and a throwback to a time when all Germans were evil - it's well worth it.
