We supported Red Tails!!!!! and I'm disappointed

So I'll make this quick. We went to see the film Red Tails, which is the film which is being endorsed by George Lucas himself that "chronicles" the lives of the Tuskeegee Airmen and all the trials and tribulations that they experienced...well most of them. First I should mention that the audience was as varied as I would love...which is great. Unfortuneately, that was about it. The film was chock full of soooo many cliched ideas: the writing, the acting, the whole 9. Even the special effects were alittle harsh. I mean they were pretty as you'd expect from Lucasfilms however I found the dogfights somewhat boring and one - sided. Never did I feel like things were not goin to work out. The characters themselves were very one dimensional in that they were never really established to a degree where I would care about them as individuals. This part hurt the most because I found that when it was crucial for me to care, I did not. On top of that, there were too many "Tyler Perry moments" where I felt as a black man I should probably be empowered over the "man" but instead I felt alienated and just downright weird. I could go on and on about this thing but I think I got most of my feelings out for now....I guess I'm just upset because this is not the way to go about gaining more notoreity amongst black film makers....so sad...anyways it should be watched just for the support and hopefully things will get better around the corner :)
