Movie Reviews of Sands of Iwo Jima
Movie Review: What makes a man?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've often been told I remind people of my uncle Don (both in appearance and personality). To me a greater compliment has never been paid. Don was 19 when he underwent surgery to repair a hernia so he could enlist in the marines. Three months out of basic training they sent him to Iwo Jima. He died on Mt. Suribachi. It wasn't until many years later that his remains were removed from the island and shipped home. "The Sands of Iwo Jima," is a touch shallow, but it is the most poignant tribute to the brave soldiers that gave their lives, and to this day it is one of the handful of movies that has ever made me shed a tear.Movie Review: An excellent war movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best (if not the best) war movies John Wayne ever did. Here he plays a hard-nosed leader but with a soft side too (which of course he doesn't show to his men). He was nominated for an Oscar (and should've won). He wouldn't be nominated for another 20 years, until True Grit. This shows how good of an actor Wayne really is. He is about the only great actor that could've done this great of a job with this movie. It has an excellent script and cast. It is drama, love, war, (sounds like Vietnam, doesn't it?) all into one unforgettable movie. It is a must for the true John Wayne fan.Movie Review: One of the Dukes best
Summary: 5 Stars
How can you not like this one it has all of the tried and true heroic John Wayne bits and he even dies in the end. This should be in everyone's library.
The whole cast is good, top to bottom with all of the bases covered. The angry young marine, the young brothers that fight with each other more than the enemy, the old time marine that can't stand the Duke until that moment when it all turns around.
Oh well you all know what this film is.

Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie but don't EVER forget Ira Hayes. Listen to old Johnny Cash he's aweseome, but this movie is great. the movie and the song are incredible. even more amazing is the vet himself, Ira Hayes who was right there at Iwo Jimo holding up Old Glory herself. God Bless Ira, Johnny, and The Duke. great war film!!! god bless Ira!!!
