Flags of Our Fathers (2006)

Saving Private Ryan handled the war scenes much better and the sentimental scenes have been done more effectively in almost every other movie that deals with regret and memory. It doesn't excel at anything it attempts, so what's the point of its existence? It's just slow-moving and carries no real impact.

The most interesting portion of the movie came at the very end, when we were treated to photos of the actual men whose stories were being told in the film. When a photo album is the best thing about your movie, you've just wasted a whole lotta money and time.
