I've never seen Flags of Our Fathers, but having read the book I can't imagine it would have made a good movie. There were too many stories being told that were unconnected in too many places for it to make a good movie. I could see it possibly turning out well as a Ken Burns-style long-form documentary, so long as they didn't actually let Ken Burns direct it.
