I saw the trailer on TV. CGI was not up to snuff in the scenes they showed.


I will probably not be spending money to see it. Looked like a waste of time.

Its Kinda hard to picture LucasFilm LTD bombing on CGI in 2011. http://www.redtails2012.com/airfieldbase.html?dogfight=true#/trailers

Its very hard guaging on TV , or monitor, how a movie is going to look on big screen. Todays digital theatres deliver an immersion that cant be replicated outside of them. And Loud? They are so LOUD nowdays.

I viewed it on a 61" LED with DLP. Surround sound was on.

The trailer was poor.

Saw another trailer for Red Tails the other night and the musical score was to RAP.  That 100% seals the deal that I will not waste any money to support Hollywood revisionist caca del toro.

Yeah, the choice of trailer music REALLY has any bearing whatsoever on the movie itself. Marketing firms make trailers, not the filmmakers.

A movie about an all-black fighter squadron during WWII facing racial adversity by their own countrymen while proving themselves in battle? Gee, who do you think your target audience is going to be? What's one of the most popular forms of "music" in that target audience? What's a quick way to grab the attention of that target audience when they're flipping channels or watching previews before another film?

Target audience would be WWII buffs not the musically challenged.

As I was told last night.... the movie might be good for someone with no knowledge of the Tuskegee Airmen. Doubt it will be historically accurate in much of any way. Might be entertaining.

Hopefully, as all seem to be saying here in defense of the movie, the music and the graphics will not be the same as in the trailers.

Funny ... I always thought they put some of the best parts in trailers.

They put the parts they think will snag their target demographic for that trailer. Want white rash teenagers? Toilet humor and the promise of partial nudity. Want women? Love story and weeping. Want older filmgoers? Make it look like a nostalgic throwback. Families? It's ANIMATED!

90% of trailers have nothing to do with the films they advertize, and many blatantly use footage and dialogue that doesn't even appear in the film. If the CG isn't up to snuff, chances are they either got hold of it before it was fully finished to get the trailers out on time, or it was cut before being completed and they started over. Trailers coming out months ahead of the release date are notorious for this, because they often haven't completed the film until a week or two before it releases.

Yeah, he says he's written a prequel and a sequel already and been trying to get Red Tails made for the past 20 years but couldn't get the funding.

You can see it on comedy central's website or here commercial free (2 popups to close) http://www.tubeplus.me/player/1970376/The_Daily_Show/season_17/episode_4/George_Lucas/

I would love to see a BoB style mini-series about the Mighty Eighth...  If they must tell stories about racial diversity during the war, why must they keep telling the the same one over and over?  I think a film about the Red Ball Express would be cool and I'd pay to see it.

Of the film itself, yes. But don't tell me the marketing department managing this film wouldn't try to squeeze as much money out of race as they can.

+1 on the 8th Air Force.  And this story is overplayed because of the incessant pandering to a certain demographic.  And speaking of such, the "WE FIGHT!" chant in the trailer reminds me of what an NFL football team does before a game.  100% chance that that never happened in WWII.  The CGI may end up good, but the story will be the same "overcoming discrimination and being better than everyone else" propaganda rehashed again.  Waiting for it to come out on Netflix.

What about the Japanese Americans who were imprisoned and given the choice, fought for their country over in Europe?
