Boring, unending and most of all overrated

******Spoiler always possible******
Like many of you who already commented I was sucked in but academy awards and reputation. I know many would find this insane but I prefer John Woo's Bullet in head(Chinese rip-off). Woo was at least willing to get to the point.
How for the love of God did that wedding reception get past,the studio,editors didn't anyone have sense to put a stop to this?

The only scenes that really did anything for the parts in vietnam. At the same time as someone who thinks hunting down animals for sport is disgusting. After watching a bunch of drunk losers kill a beautiful animal like deer for no reason but "sport" it was hard for me to feel sympathy for them.
The way the filmmakers depicted the people of vietnam was simplistic and offensive. As if they did nothing but russian roulette. Give me a break.
I think there were a few really excellent moments but mostly I would have to say no. Overrated.
