Hellmann Member Registered: 08/13/07 Posts: 123 Loc: Torontario	I'm taking my dad and nephew this Sun. for his birthday. Anyone else going to check it out? - Rotten tomatoes has been pretty unkind at 38/100 - MetaCritic as well at 45/100 We haven't had a "Hollywood" type production of a flight combat movie since "The Red Baron" and although weak in many ways I still really enjoyed it! Looking forwards to Sun. Edited by Hellmann (01/19/12 08:25 PM) _________________________ Up there the world is divided into bastards and suckers. Make your choice. — Derek Robinson

Dogsbd Senior Member Registered: 10/28/04 Posts: 2598 Loc: SC, USA	I have no intention of paying to see this movie. Ever. If/when it eventually shows up on TV I might give it a look if I've been drinking enough. The impression the trailers have left me with is that the entire Army Air Corps was incompetent, that bombers were being shot down faster than they could be built, the white fighter pilots charged with protecting them were incompetent glory hounds that left the bombers to go off and chase kills and then the "Red Tails" came along and saved the day, winning the war single handed. Bull$hit. If the writers of this drivel can't get across to the audience what a truly inspiring story the Tuskegee Airmen represent without resorting to tearing down other equally impressive, heroic fighter pilots then maybe they should find work more suitable to their style, like writing for the next Star Trek fantasy film. _________________________ ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz Quad-Core CPU Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin SDRAM DDR3 1600 *Samsung 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s HD x2
