I went to see Letters from Iwo Jima for the first time and I thought it was superb. A very well done film and and the amount of reality to it ranks up there with Band of Brothers. I enjoyed this movie a lot more then the previous movie, Flags of Our Fathers. I think Clint Eastwood did the Japanese point of view very well and is worthy of being the first, (I think) movie from the Japanese side.

I am definitely going back to see it again and can't wait for the DVD release. I was hoping Flags of Our Fathers would be good, but as Skunk said, the amount of focus that they put on Ira and the war drive and not as much on Iwo was quite disappointing.

The only thing that disappointed me slightly was the whole movie was reading subtitles, I support this though for it adds even more authenticity to the movie.

Two thumbs up!
