Yeah, I came into this long after seeing HBO's Tuskegee Airmen, which kind of stared everyone on earth and was brilliantly acted and had a great and compelling plot.
So this is kind of a bias review.
Compared to the HBO original movie, Red Tails has better special effects but that's about all. The story is worse, the plot is worse, the acting is worse. The history is worse, and I like to give movies a wide breath for artistic liberty.
It tells a love story instead of a Tuskegee Airmen story. It replaces drama with fx.
Walk away and dig up the HBO movie from the 90s.
