"I'm the best pilot in whole damn army," says David Oyelowo in the trailer for Red Tails. And you're inclined to believe him judging by some of the aerial stunts on display.

Yes, it's got George Lucas' name all over it, but don't worry: he didn't direct it. And they didn't let him near the script. Plus it has David Oyelowo in it.

All of which makes the "true story of World War II's first African American fighter squadron" look pretty ruddy promising indeed - at the very least, it looks way better than Battleship. After all, Battleship didn't have David Oyelowo in it.

Did I mention that David Oyelowo's in it?
