This could quite possibly be the longest movie that I have ever seen that clocks in at just over two hours in length. The pacing is terrible with constant jumps from the taking of Iwo Jima to the surviving soldiers War Bond tour. I never felt connected to any of the characters in the film and wasn't even sure other than the surviving soldiers who was involved in the raising of the flag. So much more character development could have been packed into this film that wasn't and ultimately the film fails for that very reason. Having been a fan of almost all of Eastwood's other films this movie was a great disappointment.
