Movie Reviews of The Tuskegee Airmen
Movie Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie not only addresses the tragedy and patriotism of those of served our country in WWII, but in brings to light the discrimination that was also a very real part of the existence of our black american heroes. This movie is not what I originally feared it would be, a typical portrayl of the oppresive white man keeping the black man down. It showed the courage and tenacity of a group of Americans (in the case African Americans) who fought and died for their country in the war to end all wars. The storyline follows a group of black pilots who not only bring honor and pride to themselves, but their country. They lived the motto, "My country, right or wrong, my country." It didn't matter that these men were discriminated against because they were black, they did the job that had to be done and they did it well. What more can we ask of any American? Watch this movie for the accurate history it portrays, not only in the struggle for equality in our country, but for all the guts and glory of those fighting men we owe our very freedom to today. God bless America.Movie Review: hbo does it again

Summary: 4 Stars
Air Force pilots up to the 1930's where all of one race, untill a group of men proved that courage knows no color. Fishburne puts on an amamzing performance as the leader of the group, and all supporting actors place the film in good standing. This movie was an inspirational piece that should be viewed by anyone interested in WW2 history or just about anyone.Movie Review: American History at its very best
Summary: 5 Stars
The story of the magnificent 332nd Fighter Group is woven into a dramatic tapestry of the horror of war and the disjointed approach of many Americans to a difficult time and a situation many would have preferred to ignore. The performance of the pilots who graduated the Tuskegee Training Program (they NEVER lost an escorted bomber to enemy action!) unfolds against the backdrop of misunderstanding, racism and political machinations that nearly destroyed the entire enterprise. This film does a magnificent job of telling the tale without being melodramatic, preachy or snide, but does full justice to the accomplishments of the pilots and their eventual victory against both German pilots and their own nation's refusal to recognize their talents. For the student of World War II, this is a well-known and much-respected story. For the student of African-American History, it is a tale of pride which shines as brightly as the stars on the American Flag these men so courageously defended. Fishburn and Cuba Gooding are superior as men caught between their own humanity and the de-humanizing effects of war. If ever a film deserve a 5-Star rating, this one does.Movie Review: The acting is startling.
Summary: 5 Stars
Fishburne and Gooding, Jr. are phenomenal, especially in scenes together. The story needs to be told, yes, but it is this particular presentation which is amazing. The fine cast, the wonderful writing and the shocking cinemotography are what make this a fine movie. The colors of the film, the saturated colors in the air scenes, the darkness in appropraite spots, make it an intense experience.
