You see, George Lucas is a brilliant storyteller. Unfortunately, he only knows one kind of story: good vs. evil in a fantasy environment. Both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series underscore this fact, and have made him the icon that he is today. Red Tails, however, is not a space opera nor is it James Bond in the jungle. These are real people with real lives that went through an experience during one of our country’s many periods of war. The source material is rich with possibility and deserves proper respect.

This film delivers none of that.
