Which is worse? This or Pearl Harbor.
I can't decide, really.

Excellent question, but in this suckfest film festival I think "Pearl Harbor" wins.
Although if you watch "Pearl Harbor" as a comedy its far funnier than "Red Tails".
This one sucks more. At least p.h. didn't have to play the race card.
Agreed. PH was like one of those 1940s wartime romance stories with action thrown in.
Red Tails was like those 1950s war films for kids. I would like RT if I were 12 or so.
How the hell was RED TAILS merely being about black fighter pilots during World War II playing the race card? Honestly I' tired of that stupid saying because race is not a damn game you play with cards or something.
shareSo if we talk about race relations ... from a black perspective ... specifically in the US's effort to beat Nazis Germany during WW2 ... who were ultra-racist ... we are playing a race card? That's crazy!
How would you do a movie about the 332nd? Would you not mention the biases and oppression the soldiers faced every day?
How would you tell the Jackie Robinson story? Would you not mention the biases and oppression he faced ... because that would be playing "the race card"
There were millions of African Americans that served in WW2 and oppression was an hourly reality for these people. That is America history ... whether you like it or not.
Often the truth hurts dear Noah ... but history is history ... be an adult and face it!
I liked "Red Tails", but I actually like "Pearl Harbor" more, despite it's problems. I still really liked it a lot.
shareThis is worse because Pearl Harbor has Kate Beckinsale in it.
