Seriously watch the trailers again.

Which is exactly what makes a bad movie. I'd surely like to see a a series made in the similar -> style <- of Band of Brothers but from the German or Japanese perspective instead.
Dive into the group/individuals experience but skip the political business. The reason for why its almost never been done before (both for movies, games) is because everyone is scared of how the public will react.

I don't deny the facts and I do not agree with what they did and their politics but you can tell stories without acting like it's Star Wars. The same goes for games,
most people feel fed up with fighting the "Russians" or "Germans" as the evil nation while the American hero saves the day for the 69th million time.

Part reason why i enjoy simulators without any story or games that can actually portray both sides in a fair and respectable way(ie RO2).

I'll definitely watch it but i bet its gonna leave a bad an unrealistic taste just like Pearl Harbor. It will be interesting to see how they portray the Germans in the movie..
Germany don't had one Romani squadron in WWII, so, germans plays just a support role in the movie...

Full disclosure: as a video making enthusiast, I took a one-day course in Toronto with the guy (Phil Bloom) that George Lucas later brought in to do the in-cockpit filming for RedTails. So, in my view, that pretty much puts me on a first name basis with ol' Georgie, so I HAVE to go see his movie in case we ever run into each other at, like, a cocktail party....or something. Just sayin', is all.......

after the original (tuskegee airman), this can only leave a bad taste, imo.

I'd even prefer captain future and the world of tomorrow, there i know it is basically a comic.

Just in case you do go and it is sucking big time, every time an allied aeroplane goes down let out a great big... HORRIDO! You'll get yourself kicked out of the theater for sure after a few of those. Maybe even punched in the head LOL. Who knows you may even have an IL-2 flyer answer you back and you can go for a beer later and discuss flight models and this terrible movie. That's my plan anyway.

I judge all movies these days by seeing if they can measure up to what I consider to be the greatest movie of all time, and from what Ive seen of the trailers I dont think this film is fit to lick 'Teen Wolfs' boots!!
