I already get the feeling a number of readers are going to be confused by my three star review of Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers." The review certainly reads as a negative one with little indication of enjoyment, and I certainly wrote the review I meant to. However, I still see the film as a three star endeavor, and that is largely due to Eastwood's handling of the battle sequence. His work really represents one of the most unique battle sequences ever captured on film, and that goes a long way, as does the underlying themes of manipulation and media deception, whether they are capitalized upon to the fullest or not.
