But can you really say if a movie is either good or not just from the trailer? I dont think so.

You can certainly determine if there are two minutes of it you find enjoyable

Actually let me rephrase that... You can definitely know if a movie will be cheesy or not by watching the trailer but you cant really know for sure until you watch it.

I've been deceived numerous times by trailers both in good and in bad ways.

I just hope it's not a Star Wars type movie because he probably is going to use this as a replacement of the Death Star:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landkreuzer_P._1000_Ratte

like we need another movie about the tuskegee airman, and especially not some flyboy-type hollywood spoof. They want to make a movie about the tuskegee airmen? How bout sticking to what happened, and leave the ridiculous stunts out of it.

My grandfather was 1 transfer away from being in the 8th. Thankfully he wasnt. He ended up being a flight engineer on C-47s the rest of the war. THe 8th lost so many men and aircraft, took so many hits. And yet i cant find a single movie about them. Thats hollywood for you

Arguably the greatest air combat movie ever made...

No way man. Iron Eagle III.

Does this not reek of a "Tuskeegee Airmen" remake? And look at that, just in time for Black History month! Wow, ya think they did that on purpose?!?

Only thing missing is Lawrence Fishburn.

Though it seems alot more action packed, but I am an older movie buff, where dialogue and acting complements the action rather than the other way around. Which is why Michael Bay sucks, and Ridley Scott and Wolfgang Peterson rule.

That would probably be because it's the same story

I know that, What killed it for me is that Cuba Gooding Jr is in both movies.

I will always think of Tuskeegee Airmen as I watch this, which was my point. And yes I will watch this movie. These men were highly underrated as aviators, and deserve respect. The thinking at the time (and now in some places) is that the black man is an inferior race. These men showed they were equal, if not better. (they were truly stellar in Italy)

I just hope this movie wasn't raped by Hollywood. The original was (an HBO movie right?

I so forgot) very classy, and a proper mix of action, and superb acting.

Please do not take my being critical as negativity, or taking away from these heroes.

Albert Speer was a genius for killing this project. Something like this would have served no strategic value, outside of defending Berlin for a few more days.

Thanks for that USS Drum. I never knew about such hardware.
It would have changed other battles for sure. It was just in line with other German tech at the time, too complicated to be mass produced.

It took a genius to realize that a mobile land fort might not be the best idea in the world?
