Read this review,

then decide if you want to see it.
For my money, "The Great Raid" is the best WWII movie to be made recently.
Saw it. Liked it, sort of. Too disjointed in its story telling for my liking. BTW, this story (following the three men after the flag raising) was done before in the 50's or early 60's I believe. Anyway, wish Clint had spent more time on Iwo and spent more time with the three "that didn't make it", showing us stuff to explain Ira Hayes broke down when he met Mike's mom and why he was so tormented. Could have been a contender.
"Battlegound" and "Stalag 17" are my all-time favorite WWII flicks. Bought both of them on DVD at Wal-Mart about a year ago.
