Its not about how much money a film made or how many people saw it. Its about what it ment to you and why you remember it. However even then filmakers have "artistic license" which is another word for b"^^$&!^...
+1 take Avatar, the way they talked about that film.. and what did we get a story that has been done 20000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Times before..... OHHHH 3D that made the same dull pathetic story sooo much better

You're the one who said money was the entire point. It is simply not true.
Nobody comes out of a film they've seen and liked and then changes their mind because it didn't do so well financially. The top grossing movies of all time contradict your point. Compare any online Best films of all time lists. That's a better indication. You may see films as a transaction, I see them as an art form.

I judge them on what I get from them, not how much they took from us.

You seem to like dropping grenades into conversations, you've said all Germans were Nazis, in a roundabout way. Completely disregarding the fact that to stand up against Hitler meant certain death, for you and most probably your family.
Are you personally responsible for all the bad things your government has done in your life time? It seems to me you'll say anything.

If you want to live in a world where everyone gets tarred with the same brush and the only value of art is financial then fine, but stop the world first coz I'm getting off.

I hate to burst your bubble, but they make movies to make money. Lots of money. So they are going to make movies that they feel will advance that goal. Period.

I said nothing of the sort, in any way. I said that Germans followed a sociopath to war. Which they did.

Interesting explanation from George Lucas about his motivation and challenges of making "Red Tails".

I could tell my grand kids about it someday LOL. Cheers!

I'd even prefer captain future and the world of tomorrow, there i know it is basically a comic.
Something isn't quite right here lol. Let's pretend this movie was about Gunther Rall. Would that change the mood a lil bit? Now we all can understand Pearl Harbor. It was a love story and c'mon, a chick flick at best. So what I'm saying is, there are pieces missing here for all this negative response to the movie none of you have even seen. For one, you grumbling sons of a's aint going to get a live show. Gotta go to an Air Show for that and most likely you won't get the manuevering because hell, what 2 million dollar warbird owner is going to do snap rolls all day in his vintage p-51 for YOUR amusement?
Ok we had Memphis Belle a few years back. All star cast! No one seemed to complain then. CGI was still in it's "getting better" stage. The First TA movie was made with maybe 5000 dollars. It was as horrible as Mosquito Squadron. Guys, when will you realize that you are asking for too much? Now if you have personal reasons why you can't or don't wanna see a movie about how horridly America treated our African American pilots , who helped win the war by the way!, then that's between you and God. But to sit there and criticize a movie for the CGI effects from the same director that broght you Star Wars??? I don't want to curse so I'll stop here. Bottom-line is, bring a better excuse because some of you aren't being honest to these readers.

I just hope they don't speak in ebonics in the movie (Let me axe you this , Oh no you di-int girlfren , Whachoo talkin bout willis etc . That'll ruin the whole thing .They should be speaking like it's the 1940s .I was hoping this would be about WW2 , not about the black cause .Also I hope it's not like pearl harbour where 2 guys take on the entire enemy force and win .
