Who thinks that this will be one of the best war movies? Falling in line with Windtalkers, Band Of Brothers, and Saving Private Ryan. IF anyone sees this movie plz give us all here a review! I may see it...stay tuned...

Dude...I HAVE to see this movie...The previews looked AWESOME. I'll let cha know if (and when) I go see it.

I saw it in the movie theaters this past weekend. I'd recommend it, however it is like a documentary about how Marines treated as heroes and then as nobodys after the war. It's also about the true story of that famous picture of flag raisers in Iwo Jima. sort of depressing too. It's shameful how those marines were treated after the war and it must be a lesson for future generations to respect war heroes.

I MUST to see, "Flags of our Fathers"!

I agree with phoenix. But it is an awesome movie. I think everyone should see it. As my sister said, this movie is a good lesson on the shameful way our veterans have been treated in the past. It really makes you (or us at least) want to treat them with a lot more respect. Its nice to see that the heroes of Iwo Jima are finally getting the respect they are long overdue. Its just too bad it took us this long...

by them she meant Marines TI

i wanna see the other film he made which is Iwo Jima from the Japanese perspective

I saw Flags last weekend. It is a wonderful movie. I definately recomend seeing it. When I went to the theater to see it, a retired Marine I know was there too, so I sat with him. We talked about it afterwards and he loved it. This is a guy that is really critical about how Marines are portrayed in the movies (because he is one). I've never wanted to be what civilians call a hero, and after watching Flags I know I dont want to be. It really shows what the flag raisers went through when they got back.
