A pretentious movie that didn't stand the test of time

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2018)

Kept hearing about this movie, people said I should watch it. I can say I am fairly disappointed.
The obvious comparison is to Platoon, which was a lot better at the time in every aspect, and years after still holds better against this pretentious movie.
I felt the same disappointment watching The Thin Red Line and Dunkirk - both were overly praised but empty - no narrative, no tension, and almost no character to empathize with.
