I've seen this movie before...

I saw this same movie before 6 years ago, "Flyboys". I enjoyed Flyboys more.
Not saying Red Tails is a bad movie, but it almost seems to be a direct copy.
All that aside, something seemed off with the sound, which surprised me for a Lucasfilm production. The explosions didn't seem to have any "oompf", gun fire seemed very minimalist in several scenes. And I was surprised at how little engine or prop noise there was in most of the combat scenes. The tacked on love story could have been left out... I know I'll be fast forwarding through those scenes when I watch it on TV once it is released.
I liked the all black cast. The visuals were pretty stunning. But this movie doesn't deserve a prequel and a sequel though?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Nice quirky little movie. Have to pay attention a bit to follow some of the odd location changes, doors appearing out of no-where, walking through a door and being in a totally different location.
Special effects and fight scenes were very well done.
Tons of video game references. Lots of fun.
Even my wife enjoyed it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
