Overrated, Yet Very Good

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2000)

I definitely smell an overrated movie here. "Platoon" was very good and I did enjoy it. However, through no fault of its own, many people rave on about this movie as if it's the be all and end all of cinema. I ended out disappointed because of the huge expectations I had. It's definitely behind war movies like "The Thin Red Line", "Apocalypse Now", "The Bridge Over The River Kwai", and "Gallipoli".
Regardless, the above movies and "Platoon" are so far ahead of "Saving Private Ryan" it's a joke.
Hey "Platoon" (7.5/10) Nice Job Stoney.
