Using that scale would make 'Transformers Dark of the moon' the 4th best film ever made... I can tell you, it aint. Nor is Avatar the best film ever made..

It's a soul-less way to judge a film. Some are chewing gum for the eyes, some are serious artistic pieces of work. Regardless of box office take.

As for Red Tails, it looks like a message movie, but at the end of the day when those boys were stepping off the ship back in the USA they were greeted with a sign that said 'Whites to the Left, Blacks to the right' so I don't really see how it can be all 'hell yeah'.

I'm sure the action sequences will be spectacular and I don't care about accurate FM, if all action films cared about the laws of physics then life would be pretty dull.. Remeber kids it's the movies, supension of belief and all that..
