Saw Flags of our fathers tonight.

And WOW.


An amazing movie.


I will go and see it again, I got promo tickets through a friend so it was free even.


The end had black and white photos of the real men, and the island, they did an amazing job making Iceland look like Iwo Jima.

Clint and all the actors did a fantastic Job, I wish I could have paused and slow moed some parts, like the corsair strafing runs.

Movies are not simultaneously released worldwide. Every country has different licensing and dubbing or subtitle requirements. Some Hollywood studios do not allow theater release in some countries until after they go to video or cable in the US.

The movie was spectacular.  Clint Eastwood did a very good job portraying James Bradley's book.  This is one of those movies that gives the book justice...
But yea, the move was excellent...very emotional at the end....

hope you see it



*by the way, the corsair footage is awesome....looks and sounds amazing

I'm going to see it in about an hour.  Can't wait.  Glad to hear it's good, but I didn't expect it to flop.

Clint might be here at the premium, - at least he is invited. They haven't issued the date precisely, but it's somewhere between 22nd and 26th of December. Depending whether he shows up I guess.
I met him last year, - now that is quite a guy :aok

well, I guess I can see where mandingo is coming from....same era, same war, same generation of americans doing the fighting.  only difference is the fighting was on opposite sides of the world - one on the vast european continent and the other a tiny island in the pacific.  yeah, there must be a boring resemblance between the two movies    
 
     :rolleyes:

Here is an interview with Eastwood.  I wouldn't be suprised if this movie was actually better than SPR.

I spy Buck Compton from "Band of Brothers", so at least they did a good casting job. :)
