The movie "Emperor"
Just finished the movie "Emperor" , thought it was better than the reviews gave it credit for.Tommy Lee Jones was excellent as McArthur. I feel the role of General Fellers could have been played better by someone else, did not care for the actor, his portrayal seemed "forced". The scene where McArthur shook the Emperor's hand made me laugh a bit.Just wonder what those who have watched this movie thought of it?

I finally watched "Red Tails", it can't be worse that that. I was gonna
pay for view the Emperor then saw the bad ratings and wil wait until it's free.

Oh the Emperor was decent, you will prob like it.Ill PM you. I was angry at how awful Red Tails was, what were they thinking? The corny dialogue, the star wars like aircraft maneuvers? Just sad. |

Yep, when I saw planes turning on a time, it was more than I could
handle. Certainly not as good as the other movie. Still, both were historically accurate in many ways, probably to improve the image, they did lose numerous bombers and had no recorded aces.
