My opinion for what it is worth..

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2003)

I am glad I went into the movie not knowing what to expect. I knew today was going to be a slow day and I had a 3 hour movie at my disposal.
I have read several of the comments others have written and was surprised that so many people bashed the movie. I think a lot of this has to do with people went in expecting a "war" movie, lots of Booms and Bangs. This movie wasn't that.
What I got out of this movie was how the war affected them, the characters. I know a lot of people moaned about the wedding scene that was really long. Yes, it was and its length surprised me myself, but I think the point of it is to show that bond among the friends and to show the interest Mike already has in Linda. A wedding is a time of joy and I think that is what the director is trying to convey so we can see how it kind of all went down hill.
I would recommend this movie to others. I enjoyed it. I am very glad I got this movie to put with my Christopher Walken collection.
