Not Exactly What It's Cracked Up To Be.

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2000)

I just watched Apocalypse Now a few days ago and was not impressed. Yes, the movie did have a few well known actors in and out of every scene, but that doesn't really mean anything. Some say it's a classic because it's dark, moody, and realistic. Well, I say Platoon and Full Metal Jacket are just that and are more deserving of someone's time than Apocalypse Now. Overall, I didn't see anything that I haven't seen before. I hardly even believe that watching Apocalypse Now is worth your time unless you want to view an overrated film.
