    So what did you think, J?
    We saw this last night. Other than the main characters, I had a hard time knowing which Marine they were talking about at various times. Apart from that, a very good movie.

    It spurred me to look up facts about Iwo Jima, so I consider that a successful war movie. For example, I had no idea the island was only 4 miles by 2 miles!

    Very interesting site- www.iwojima.com

    What did you think? I saw it last night. A bit choppy but not too much.
    Overall, I think it was a good movie with factual information (combined with some hollywood of course) most people don't know. I'd give it an 8 1/2 outta 10.

    I watched about half of it, good war scenes but stopped because it got kind of boring.

    A short attention span is common with the yut these days.
