Summary: B.E.S.T!!!
Review: I agree with the viewer from San Diego reviewing this masterpiece on March 13 who said this fim candidly had no concrete plot, but it was by all means not boring!!! What is so bad about a film not making a whole lot of sense? It was uproariously funny and inspired many, including myself, to use some of its catch phrases routinely. I first saw this motion picture on opening night in 1970 with my wife and have yet to forget its wild antics and plot. I own a copy of the cassette and want to tell you all out there to go out and buy it

Summary: A true war, or should I say, antiwar comedy/drama
Review: The film spawns a wonderful cast and tells a remarkable story of 3 surgeons who try to keep things under wraps at a Mobile Army Surgical Hos- pital called the 4077th.It inspired an Emmy-award winning TV series which was excellent in its own ways.However the charachters from the movie that also are in the television series are played by d- ifferent actors and actresses with the exception of Corporal Walter O'Reily a.k.a. Radar played by Gary Burgoff(I'm not sure how to spell his last name).Both the Movie and the series can be incredibly hilarious or sometimes very dramatic. But to make a long story short, the movie M*A*S*H is going to be a great favorite for years to come

Summary: One of the most memorable movies.
Review: This movie is a classic throughout. The one liners are outrageously funny, the actors are well chosen and the whole idea is to realize that war is not funny.

Summary: I am Bored to TEARS
Review: Upon watching this awful film, I was suprised that such a dissapointment spawned such a great sitcom. First, M*A*S*H has NO plot. It is litteraly just like a bunch of episodes -- and bad episodes at that -- stuffed into one long, boring movie. The boring dialougue never seems to end. And to use the "b" word yet again: in general, this movie is BORING. There are hardly any dramatic elements. None memorable anyway. This has to be the worst video I have ever rented. I reccomend staying away from it.

Summary: SUICIDE IS PAINLESS
Review: Infinitesimally funnier than any five TV MASH episodes sewn together. This film is the grand-daddy of them all. Though it is not very nice when Radar gets spat upon by the opposition, it is in the final analysis necessary. The walk-by visitation of the suicidal queer dentist who cannot accept his condition (I don't mean a chipped tooth), and thinks he overdosed - but shakes hands with his mourners!, must be a film first. The football play is also of gross note. Highly hilarious for all who play.

Summary: This wickedly funny political satire still bites.
Review: Although this wickedly funny satire on political culture during the Vietnam War has enduring value, this reviewer finds another aspect of M.A.S.H. to be a quite amusing comment on contemporary culture. The movie, when originally released, was rated P.G. With the rising tide of conservative intolerance in the land, this fine flick is now rated R. The leftist satire still has a bite, and the young must be protected from it, lest they come to question increasingly the dominant political culture the way a minority of their parents did!

Summary: Second Release on DVD?
Review: Normaly I would give this movie a 5 stars. I mean it is that good. The movie is outstanding. Here is the reason I am giving this only 3 stars: I am puzzled of why 20th Century Fox is re-releasing this movie as a single disc DVD. They should have released the single disc first, then the Five Star Collection edition. Hey 20th Century Fox, why????????

Summary: MISH-MASH
Review: I saw this film in 1972 just a couple years after it came out. Back then I thought it was just the best film ever. I just viewed it again today (2-17-2005). I must say that I was very disappointed. The film is not funny. The humor is very sophmoric and simple. I found a lot of mistakes in the film, which I feel that a filmmaker should not make. I know the film was released in 1970 and Altman was trying to draw a parallel to the Vietnam War and the disregard for authority etc... Like I said, when I was 12 or 13, this was a cool movie. Some of the glaring mistakes is that this movie is suppose to be during the Korean War (1950-1953)and you have Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould with late 1960's haircuts and long sideburns. Many of the actors in this sport similar styles. (Remember this is suppose to be 1950 to 1953 just five years after World War II and two years before Disneyland etc...)Another is the football players smoking marijuana (Come on). I didn't laugh once this time around. The movie is very dated. It probably would have held up better if the movie was more true to the era (1950-1955)and not 1969-1970. The television show MASH doesn't hold up that well either. I use to like that show. It comes over as flat and dated as well. MASH is just another movie to which time has passed it by. A movie about a war in the 1950's set to a late sixties vision. A mediocre film. Not worth the expense of buying it on DVD.

Summary: My take on this film
Review: It didn't strike me as that funny. None of the actors were comedians 'cept for Roger Bowen (Henry Blake). The massively interwoven stories-plotline bothers me more than it delights. Donald Sutherland has been totally outclassed and outperformed by Alan Alda (Hawk on tv MASH). I find it dated, a little wrongheaded in it's anti-USmilitary views (but hey it was the late 1960's), and better than any movie since after the year 1984. I do not think this film was as improvised as one poster here thinks.
