This cliche-bound script is an equal-missed-opportunity employer.

The script's familiar, since air combat isn't a new genre by a long shot, but the additional mission of the men proving themselves gives telepic its extra dimension.

True story of African-Americans in WWII has mature themes.
May 5, 2014 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
The script has a weak structure and the characters are fairly superficial, but the film is still moving as all get out.
August 25, 2008 -
A superbly crafted production featuring outstanding aerial sequences.
August 25, 2008 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Too self-important, too cliched, and too dismissive of the talent at its disposal.

Audience Reviews for The Tuskegee Airmen

Jan 23, 2012Based on a true story, "The Tuskegee Airmen" tells the story of a group of African American pilots and their challenges in becoming airmen for the United States to help fight for their country. The film includes many clips of actual footage of various missions being carried out mixed in with the rest of the acted material. The film is a simple but effective look into the troubled and corrupt world that blacks were forced to be part of during times of segregation. There were moments you could feel the pain and loss through their eyes and there were several times I connected with these men and their struggles. Overall this was a wonderful film that HBO made for television and is much more correlated with a theatrical film then a television movie. This is a solid watch no matter the color of your skin and is a great story of acceptance in the most basic of ways.Chris B Super Reviewer

Dec 24, 2009nowhere near as good as i was hoping. the worst part was the interspersed shots of random WWII footage where ya could clearly see the actors werent flying no planes. laurence fishburne was good and that's about the gist of itSanity Assassin ! Super Reviewer

Nov 13, 2009Ackackack go the enemy fighters, swoonswoonswoon go the soundtrack violins... Well, you could do worse than watch Laurence Fishburne, Cuba Gooding Jr , Andre Braugher and more swoop stylishly through the air and stride fetchingly around in pilots jackets for ninety minutes , but both the calibre of acting and the true story of an elite squad of black US pilots fighting racism and Germans are let down by the made-for-HBO-tv overdramatics .Lesley N Super Reviewer
