You dropped acid? Far out...

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2001)

This is without a doubt my all-time favorite film. I have seen it countless times, and will probably watch it many more.
Reading through the many reviews here I've noticed that some people compare this movie with "Platoon", "The Deer Hunter", "Full Metal Jacket", or "Saving Private Ryan", usually saying something like "Saving Private Ryan is the best war film ever, Apocolypse Now sucks." Well, do yourself a favor, and ignore narrow minded reviews such as these. To compare them like that is unfair, as all of these movies are great in there own way, and all should be seen. Apocolypse Now may be seen as slow moving (and the Deer Hunter isn't!?) but it is without question visually stunning. A true filmakers masterpiece. Others have suggested going into this film with an open mind, allowing yourself to be sucked into the madness of this movie. I agree. If you have not seen this film, stop reading these reviews and see it! Preferably in widescreen format!
And, if you have not seen any of those other films, see them too. As I said, all of these movies are great.
