I didn't say "Eastwood Sucks", I said he was mediocre and overrated ...

Admittedly - I have not seen "Letters from Iwo Jima" but that specific film was not the centerpiece of my point.

I did shell out $10.50 for "Flags Of Our Fathers" and like many Eastwood films, it was on the same level as bad television. If "Letters from Iwo Jima" is the greatest film ever made, for me it won't erase the mediocrity of his body of work.

Listed below are films of Eastwood's that I have seen, that weren't completely without merit (as a Ron Howard film etc.) but still, pretty much stunk up the joint.

I consider bad films taken from Eastwood's directorial resume prior to "Letters from Iwo Jima".

** Flags of Our Fathers ** Blood Work ** Space Cowboys ** True Crime ** Absolute Power ** The Rookie ** Bird ** Heartbreak Ridge ** Honkytonk Man ** Firefox ** Bronco Billy ** The Gauntlet**

I mean...OUCH!

Analog, I admit Million Dollar Baby wasn't bad . The directing was adequate but Eastwood's limited acting abilities undermined that film for me.
Not for a minute, or even a second did I believe that Eastwood was Frankie Dunn. Once again he used the full gamut of his three facial expressions. One a blank look, the other two, sneers. It wasn't a great film because of his own performance.
