Flying Leathernecks Ratings & Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Director Nicholas Ray stamped his indelible style on many a movie (In a Lonely Place, Johnny Guitar, Rebel Without a Cause, etc.), but this ain't one of them.

Emanuel Levy
Though John Wayne plays a similar role to that of his other WWII movies (Sands of Iwo Jima), the tough but sensitive commander, this picture is better than the rest due to smooth and crispy direction by Nicholas Ray.
TV Guide
Overlong but action-filled.
Variety
Variety Staff
Marquee pull of John Wayne and Robert Ryan in the action market has been teamed with a story of Marine fighter pilots.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
This is the most ordinary film Nicholas Ray ever made.

Steve Crum
Pure WWII jingo and John Wayne. But stylish and heroic nonetheless.

Jeremy Heilman
The Flying Leathernecks packs a surprising amount of intelligent insight in with its nationalistic rally cry.
