George Lucas produced "Red Tails", a film about the Tuskegee Airmen who broke down racial barrier in WWII and demonstrated that dogfighting in the sky wasn't something only white pilots could do well in combat.
The direction of this film was tame, or uninspired. The script is a little flabby in spots, as there are many pilot characters in the film, and it was a little difficult keeping up with the various subplots for the main characters, and the screenwriting wasn't engaging, felt disjointed, threadbare in characterizations, and lacked confidence and bite. It felt like the first draft of a screenplay in many scenes, and didn't really flow well. The actors did the best they could with a weak script.
The aerial scenes were fine, as it is its main marketing point in its advertising.
I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.
