I hate to say it, but "flags" was no Private Ryan by a long shot.
It ripped off the present day retiree soldier reliving the past,
the same thema as ryan flashing back. How much genius does
it take to cut from a retiree to the war? The same tired editing we've seen a million times, flashing back and froth in time.
The acting by the soldiers(mostly unknown actors) was pretty
awful. All one-dimensional characters, with the same One liners
we've heard in about 500 war movies since WW2.
The actor that played the Indian "ira hayes" was really sickening
and one-dimensional as well. Just had the same unchangeing aggravated, remorseful look the whole time. They could have had him laugh at least once. In the "real-life" pictures at the end he was smiling, so they could have fleshed out his character a bit.
The movie was totally predictable and one-dimensional, like
"Pearl Harbor".
At least Pearl Harbor wasn't touted as a four-star movie, and
had a decent star in it(Ben Affleck
