Review For Red Tails
To its credit, the film gets at the things that gave the Airmen their lasting fame -- the odds and racism they overcame, leading to the integration of the armed forces, the civil rights movement and the integration of America. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service This is so generic as storytelling that it fails even as a basic history lesson: it's hard to believe that the stock conflicts on-screen have any connection to real events. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader One can get away with a lot of cornball speeches a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away but it doesn't work nearly as well a short time ago on planet Earth. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Red Tails is better than nothing - but "nothing" isn't the other option. That HBO film is still out there, and Red Tails doesn't add to it or improve upon it. Eric D. Snider-Film.com Instead of pride or anger or resolve, all it left me feeling was a little bit of regret that I hadn't been home, watching "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" instead. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Red Tails is a lousy film. Not wincingly bad, mind you, just mediocre. James Adams-Globe and Mail With an inspiring source story, talented actors, and one of the most profitable production companies backing the film, it's genuinely hard to imagine where it all went wrong. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant There certainly is an interesting story to be told at the heart of "Red Tails," but unfortunately director Anthony Hemingway and screenwriters John Ridley and Aaron McGruder couldn't get at it. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com Red Tails is all broad strokes, and I have to admit that it stroked me good. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline This is a proper war film. That's to say one with crazy dogfights and (no, really) Nazis with prominent scars. Tara Brady-Irish Times The finished product makes a great case, perhaps the best yet filmed, for remaining anonymous and achieving nothing. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray Why, one wonders, didn't Lucas persuade his friend Steven Spielberg to take on this subject and treat it with the authority and respect he brought to Band of Brothers? Philip French-Observer [UK] The actors do their best, but the lines they have to deliver are toe-curlingly bad. Things get better when the planes are in the air, but the film's aerial dogfights are so blatantly computer-generated that the action fails to thrill. Jason Best-Movie Talk What a missed opportunity. Allan Hunter-Daily Express While the film soars in the skies, on the ground there's nothing original in the script. -Liverpool Echo It's an inspirational story and its infectious sense of camaraderie may well be an effective recruitment film for the U.S. air force. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] Executive producer George Lucas brings a healthy dose of his Star Wars magic to the CGI of the spectacular aerial sequences. Terry Staunton-Radio Times The true story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a squadron of African-American second world war flying aces, is one of those amazing tales that you just couldn't make up. Phelim O'Neill-Guardian [UK] Red Tails is a war action buff's matinee delight. It could be argued that making a more gritty account would have detracted from the focus on the strong buddy element ... Lisa Giles-Keddie-Real.com It functions primarily as a reminder that Cuba Gooding Jr. is still alive and touting for work. Shaun Munro-What Culture Red Tails has been described as "jingoistic, corny, über-patriotic and old-fashioned", not by some disobliging critic but by George Lucas, its executive producer. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Like many films honouring the memory of honourable minorities in the grim days before civil rights, this George Lucas-produced war epic is an insomnia cure. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times The distilled essence of this story is surely of more long term value than what Britain's own Tony Scott and Tom Cruise were dealing with in Top Gun. Graham Young-Birmingham Post Disappointment gives way to frustration at this botched opportunity to tell an important story properly. Ashley Clark-Little White Lies It's definitely a story worth telling. Tim Evans-Sky Movies There's no sense of threat or danger: this is a film with its head stuck firmly in the clouds. Tom Huddleston-Time Out
