Good try

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2001)

Everyone hates it when I disagree with the masses on "classic" movies. So I'll start with the good stuff. Apocalypse Now is a good try. It has great actors, a pretty-well written script with nice special effects. Really the only thing I disliked about this movie was that it was based on the horrible book "Heart of Darkness." The ending really kills everything you've been waiting for in a series of ridiculous scenes.
I hate comments like "This movie really shows that war is hell." "War is hell" is an obvious statement, like "glue is sticky." I don't need a war movie to tell me this, and if I did, I would suggest a great one like "Saving Private Ryan" or "Full Metal Jacket." I just didn't find this as rewarding as, say, the other two I just listed. Read the book and if you somehow get pleasure from that, see the movie.
