A Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers/Windtalkers pot luck. With the Eastwood Million Dollar Baby carnival atmosphere thrown in for effect. I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie waiting for someone to share his chewing gum. An affront... Full review

'Flags' is an unflinching look into the propoganda that fueled our country's patriotism during WWII. Bigotry, dishonesty and regret are all dealt with amidst the backdrop of a photo that changed American history. Fine performances all around make this one worth... Full review

Flags of our Fathers tells the noble story of the bloodiest and one of the most crucial battles ever fought. The story takes place on the island of Iwo Jima. An island torn by war, and carnage from the battle between... Full review

This film quite simply tried to cover too much, and lagged because of it. Clint Eastwood is without a doubt one of our finest directors, but he overstuffs this movie with overly patriotic dialogue that comes off more cliche then anything... Full review

This movie had a lot of flashbacks. I totally understand why the director did that. It was a way to make the movie more interesting, it worked. Being in war does not make you a hero. If you die in war,... Full review

His moody, understated performance transcends the heavy-handed material;....This, when coupled with the poorly defined characters, keep the film from becoming the genre classic....one tearful and heartfelt monologue makes for the film's best scene.....The battle scenes deserve due praise cinematographer Tom Stern should be proud....Phillippe builds on his stellar turn in last year's Crash with another impressive performance.... ...

Tackling what is arguably his most epic story ever, the 76-year-old director - whose Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby Oscars are still glistening on his mantle - returns to the awards debate with Flags of Our Fathers , a patriotic look at America's need for heroes and villains when perhaps none exist. ...

Bad Clint Eastwood movies tend to play like parodies of good Clint Eastwood movies, and his latest, a loose dramatization of the Wineville Chicken Murders and the accompanying media blitz and police scandal that rocked Los Angeles in the late 1920s, is almost a bigger muddle than Flags of Our Fathers [... ...

The story is 'Flags of Our Fathers,' the famous flag-raising picture, Clint said. That thing with Clint was overblown, and that stuff was squashed. We never talked, but I talked to Spielberg, and Spielberg talked to him," Spike said, laughing. ... Full Review
