I can understand why people like this movie...

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2003)

Many people say that Apocalypse Now is the greatest war movie ever, I do not agree with them, but I can understand why they like it though. The performances are good, production was good, I however do not like it. It is boring. It is not a film about Vietnam as the grunts would see it rather how a drugged-out Director would see it. It was adapted by Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and they should have let the movie stay true to the book, but they did not. The length is too long, there action sequences are just not what is to be expected. The only thing I like about the movie is the end of it.
