Lidt rodet og har svært ved at fænge for alvor. Kampscener er ok, men jeg blev lidt skuffet..

Great story about how mundane events take on legendary status. Good war scenes and (thankfully) no attempt to insert a lame love story to distract from the main plot (ahem, Pearl Harbor, anyone?)

Not *spectacular* on it's own, but when see with its opposite: "Letters from Iwo Jima," this shows on of the coolest views on war ever. Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our Fathers detail the same story from exact opposite points of view. You see one guy get shot up close in flags of our fathers, and you see the Japanese soldier shooting that very same guy in letters from Iwo Jima.

Clint Eastwood's direction spices up this powerful war epic

everything about this movie said to me it'd be great, but it lied, I guess the fact that it was a little disappointing for me made it feel worse than it actually was. It just went on and on, some of the acting was good, but it had that whole 'American' feel, by which I mean it had too little grit, and too much sentimentality, A shame really.

In my opinion this is not a war film, rather a film that revolves around an event of a war. I had a lot of expectations from this movie but felt disappointed. It just presents the perspective and experiences of a few people involved with an event. I agree with others of that probably there shouldnt have been any of the son interviewing the veterans part. Its a nice movie worth watching once.

This is a great film, and I never quite understand why it gets given such a hard time? I can only assume people were expecting something very different? This a thoughtful and beautifully paced war film. Somehow, and I'm not sure how, Eastwood manages to make a film about American hero's without the usual gung-ho, huurah flag waving bollocks that so often accompanies Hollywood war movies, and that is particuarly amazing considering the films subject, and is testament to Clint's greatness.
