My Review

I finally saw the movie this afternoon. 

The Plot was very predictable and somewhat uninteresting. I would have expected better from George Lucas, especially since I understood it has been production since 1988.  The movie didn't live up to the hype.  The true story of the Tuskegee Airmen was glossed over, for a good read on the history of the Tuskegee Airman checkout the Tuskegee University site. "Red Tails" features some awesome aerial dogfights and an inspiring story, but a weak script, contradictory score, and some sad acting prevent it from being the great film it could have been.

If you're looking for a history lesson, forget it.  The Tuskegee Airmen deserve better than to have their great story reduced to corny dialogue, and clichés in a conventional movie plot.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 33% on its tomatometer.

The movie does have one memorable line -  Joe 'Lightning' Little: "From the last plane, to the last bullet, to the last minute, to the last man, we fight!" Airmen: "We fight!"

"We fight!" became the rallying cry of the Red Tails, who overcame seemingly insurmountable odds and adversity to help the U.S. win World War II.
