Review of Sands of Iwo Jima

yes saw the film about 10 times in all and have mixed thoughts being a former Marine myself not quite what i expected but i had already been in combat in Vietnam before i first saw the film in 1979 and probably just judged it on not being scary enough for after all combat is terrifying and should be shown as such and not just for political purposes. but apart from that the film tries to show the spirit of the Marine Corps and who better to play that part than the man himself John Wayne

"Semper Fi"
