3 hours of nothing. See "Platoon" or "Full Metal Jacket" first. (SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!)

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2003)

I can't honestly see how people say this is the best war movie ever. I had to turn the movie off because I was falling asleep. I decided that I would give it a second chance and couldn't believe I sat through all of it. When it first came on I thought it was going to be great. The jungles are being bombed and you hear nothing but The Doors' "The End" playing. That's genius. But I'm sorry to say that that was probably the only good part in the film. Right when you see Martin Sheen on his way to complete his mission, the film goes nowhere. All it is is Martin Sheen riding on a boat for 2Â½ hours, then FINALLY meets Marlon Brando. Just about nothing goes on between the beginning and the end. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!. The only other good part is when Willard assassinated Kurtz. IF that didn't happen the film would've been a lot worse. **+ / **** See "Platoon" or "Full metal Jacket" before you see this film.
