| Milforum Moderator  | I have heard it was released in Japan and got great reviews. I remember on review for flags of our fathers complained that you really did not see the Japanese soldiers in the movie. I wanted to slap that loser since he knows movies so well I guess he forgot that there was a second movie dedicated to the Japaneses side of the battle.

| Milites Gregarius  | Would you guys that saw Letters of Iwo Jima recommend it? I just joined the Corps and my father is a Former Marine so I want to go with him but I don't want to go if it's just a bad movie. |

| Can you hear me now? | Saw it, last night. It was good. Well, Letters from Iwo Jima is pretty interesting movie but lot of war violence, tho. So, I don't think it's bad movie, to my opinion. |

| Milforum's Bouncer | Its a good flick Wheez and for a Hollywood film pretty historically accurate by most accounts. I couldn't call it enjoyable because I don't find body parts flying about something I "enjoy" but it was very engrossing and moving. |
