This is a decent remake. It was nice seeing the Tuskagee Airman get the Hollywood treatment.

good cast, lots of action, realistic airial scenes

Really good movie. However, the acting was a little cheesy at times.

Very good movie regardless of the critics reviews!

Dad has been asking about this movie for a while so I got it.

great movie from start to finish. To know how the black man cared and thought about our great country and what they were willing to sacrafice when they were treated with so much disrespect was so inspiring makes you really think about alot of things and how far we have come. going back to movie, it was real written and ariels were great and storyline was excellant u must see this

I think that "Red Tails" was one of the greatest films of all-time and was also one of my favorite films of all-time. This was a very inspiring film with a lot of entertaining and enjoyable action, mystery, suspense and drama including a really great and amazing cast, plot and personal storylines as well.

You get a feel for the prejudices/discrimination the Tuskegee pilots had to endure back in WWII. The aerial combat scenes are well done specially if you have great speakers like Bose attached to your blue-ray player. It makes the sounds jump out at you !

Very realistic view of what all of our fly-boys went through in the war. It was pure hell - and this is depicted quite well in this movie. Kudos to George Lucas for making another great film, along with great vision and directing by Anthony Hemingway.

WATCHED LAST NIGHT. WHILE THE MOVIE ITSELF IS NOT THAT GOOD, THE BLURAY IS REFERENCE QUALITY. THE PICTURE IS JUST OUTSTANDING. AUDIO MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE A FIGHTER PILOT. STAY HEAVY !!!

Very good actors and acting that humanized the struggles many of these men went through, and the sacrifices made. The movie flowed well, with some human interest elements that kept our interest, so it didn't come across as a documentary at all.

Great dog fighting, good movie. Special FX are top notch.

I saw this movie in the theatre and I knew that i must have this as part of my movie collection. We have shared this movie with others who have have not had the pleasure of seeing this movie yet.

Best I have ever seen about the Tuskeegee (sorry about the spelling) airmen, has great action shots and tells the story in more depth then I have every known. Action packed and rivoting

Very enjoyable movie about an ignored chapter of the war. Actors were excellent and special effects were top notch. Maybe we can get Morgan or Denzel in the next movie.

Loved this movie. It was thrilling and exciting and educational all rolled in to one great movie

enjoyed this movie alot it felt jest like i was in the airplanes with them

Great story from a historical perspective! Glad to see it come to the big screen!

An excellent chronicle of history-making Tuskegee airmen.

Could you love a country that abused and mistreated you? Could you fight, kill, or die for it? That question is answered with a resounding “yes” by the characters portrayed in this most recent film about the first all African-American unit of fighter pilots in World War II. The film opens with three pilots encountering a suspicious train which they believed to be carrying armaments to the Axis forces. The more reckless among them, Joe “Lightning” Little (played by David Oyelowo) disobeys orders and attacks from the front destroying the engine and the train itself while causing not-insignificant damage to his plane. This caused great distress to the mechanic charged with repairing “Lightning’s” plane while his disregard for the chain of command is the primary complaint of his group leader, Martin “Easy” Julian (played by Nate Parker). And in the background there is constant politicking from those who believe the group is a failure and a waste of resources while others like Colonel A.J. Bullard (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) are making efforts to secure more important assignments and the superior aircraft they would need to complete them. The story of The 332nd Fighter Group is an inspiring chapter in American military history. So inspiring, in fact, that it’s already been told once before in 1995 HBO film The Tuskegee Airmen. While the HBO effort was not without its problems, overall it is a superior film. True, the dog fighting scenes in Red Tails are very well-done and highly entertaining but at the time HBO was not the powerhouse it is today and if there is one thing George Lucas knows, it’s aerial battles. And I was happy to see him produce something that wasn’t designed to capitalize on already successful and creatively exhausted franchises. Still, this is the lesser of two films on an important subject. As the 1995 film is available to rent on Netflix and available for purchase at prices cheaper than that of a movie ticket, see The Tuskegee Airmen instead.
