The word "SUCK" is an understatement!

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 1999)

This is the first time I've ever left a movie theater wishing that everyone in the movie actually had died so I could have left a whole lot earlier. The best parts of this movie occurred when it ended. I would have fallen asleep if it was not for all the characters crying so damn loudly every other scene. Ya sure the jungle is beautiful and its full of a lot of bright looking parrots, but what in the world that has to do with WW II escapes me. If I had to look at one more scene where the camera looked at the sun throught the jungle leaves, I would have started shooting at people too.
The idea that people can actually say this is even a tolerable movie amazes me. I'm still wondering what happened to the bad poet that attemped to bore me throughout the movie with muttled speach and idiotic references. Too bad he didn't get dropped in the first volley of gunfire. I'm still trying to figure out why guys were swimming around with little boys every time I woke up during the movie. Oh let me guess, it was another mind numbing attempt to say that there is Peace within, ya yada yada yada. To say this movie sucked doesn't describe how bad it was. I was like national geographic on bad acid. It was an hour into the movie before the first actual war scene occurred. This was a war movie?
I am so taken back that people refer to the imagery, symbolism, ya whatever. Get of your high horses and let your pompous heads stop swelling and admit to everyone that you had no idea what this stupid movie was about. If you still however, like this movie you should probably try cleaning a few guns yourself, muzzle first.
