its out now, I just watched it.


Hm, what to say about this movie.

I liked it better than I liked Flags of our Fathers. It was a decent movie, perhaps a bit too easy on the Japanese. But I forgive the "humane" take on the Japanese because that humanity is relatively restricted to the main characters of the movie, whilst the others are the deranged fanatic Japanese that made up the large bulk of the Empire's soldiers


I'd watch it again, but its no classic. That said, it is very good to see a movie that shows the Japanese side. Tora Tora Tora is the only other movie that comes to mind which does that
