Just don't understand

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2005)

Well, I know that this is one of the all time classics but still... HEY HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE SEEN THAT THIS IS A BIT TOO LONG. Especially if you happen to watch the Redux version like I did, you're going to need a lot of patience with the ending. The first half I think is alright, a proper war movie if I may say, but in the ending it is all starting to go crazy. I don't understand what's the point of watching Sheen wondering around jungle or talking some nonsense with Brando something like hour and a half in the ending. It just pure torture. Has to be thankful that my DVD player allows me to watch these kind of ending with double or even quadruple speed. Couple classic scenes and characters and nothing else. And there is better +three-hour movies out there than this one (like each one in LOTR -series).
