I was considering picking it up on Blu-Ray since I've only heard good things about it. I was just wondering if anyone here had seen it.

Excellent movie with an absolutely great performance from the amazing Ken Watanabe. I saw it at the theater and loved it and now have it on HD DVD. It's an extremely harsh movie with a washed out, worn look to it. I liked Flags of Our Fathers too, but Letters is the better part of Eastwood's ode to WWII.

I've got it on BR and it as sonnyboy11 said it is. One of my favorite movies of Clint's and in my Top 3 War Movies.

It's a great film. Eastwood did a good job letting the story be the main focus and not letting ANY special effects and camera/editing gimmicks get in the way. It's always nice to get WWII from a different perspective.

IMHO Flags of Our Fathers sucked compared to LFIJ.

I wouldn't say that, but Flags DOES pale in comparison.

agree. letters>>>flags.
i liked this a lot and i'm not a huge war film person. i echo the sentiments that it was nice to see the war from a different perspective. i bet the end scenes with the grenades look sick in HD/blu ray.

I saw IJ before Flags...and I'll have to concur with the consensus on this one. Letters was the superior film.

I particularly enjoyed the conflict between the old gaurd in the japanese military and the modern tactics employed by Watanabe's character.

Excellent film.

Awesome movie. One of Eastwood's finest films.

As soon as I saw that YOU posted something in this thread, I knew exactly what you posted.

And I will continue to stand by what I said as I DID see the movie in 2006, and it was part of my Top Movies of 2006 list last year.
