Good movie...until the end. It was very gruesome violence at the end. It actually was on the verge of being unrealistic violence. There was so much gore i had to turn it off. This is one of those movies you do not want to see or you will have nightmares. It was a good movie again but it was full of language(f-bomb atleast 40 times). Now that you have read this i would reccomend you stick to the reviews by the people on the website it was way to bloody for kids and teens under 14.
It was a great look at a WWII battle but very depresing. The violence in this movie was not to bad but there was a scene of some human insides. This movie certainly deserves 5 stars.
I would like to start by saying that it think this movie is yellow for 12 and up. The reason I gave this 4 stars and not 5 is because it dragged at the end. However, it is very touching and has a good message about what a "hero" really is.
P.S.If you really want an awesome World War II movie watch Saving Private Ryan.
I really wanted to like Flags of our Fathers but I just couldn't. The story was dull and a little hard to follow because of all the jumping around from the battlefield to home. There is strong language throughout the movie around 20 f-words and other minor profanities, there was one crude joke and some violence, but actually less than one might expect from a WWII movie. Overall I was really disappointed.
I LOVED this movie. I LOVE the USMC. This movie was really good. This movie rocks. It is pretty gory... some flipped stomachs and opened chests. One part a Marine gets his head blown off and hits a comrade. Their is about 15-20 F words... along with godd***,a**, b****. This movie is awesome... I highly recommend this.
The visual aspects of the battle were some of the best ever in a war movie. The "rest of the story" of what happens when the survivors come home, applies to our modern day experience. A must see for all history buffs.
A touching movie about Remembering Our Soldiers. Sad, indeed.
Clint Eastwood:
Million Dollar Baby = director
Million Dollar Baby = actor
And now:
Flags Of Our Fathers= director
That is a good resume right there. In honor of the battle of Jiwa (or something), we have a touching story about WWII and the aftermath of it. This guy pulls no punches and is very good indeed so see the movie. It is just like Common Sense said, except not as strong. See it and love it.
I really liked this movie. I think its very powerful but very realistic as well. There is a lot of violence and very gruesome images that could be very discomforting and hard to watch to many people. This movie is great for teenagers if they are mature and can handle the intense parts, but there are parts of this movie that are very disturbing. I know some adults who will not even watch it. It all depends on the person.
