Flags of our Fathers - two and a half stars
Incredibly slow. The movie was well done, and showed the battle of Iwo Jima in an interesting fashion, but this was more a movie about the men and events surrounding the famous picture of the flag raising. Clint Eastwood did a fine job, the actors were fine, but to me, the story just dragged. Maybe my expectations were more along the lines of a Saving Private Ryan, so that could have hampered my enjoyment of the movie. Nonetheless, I was checking the time during the movie.
