Platoon

Summary: THE BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: "PLATOON" IN MY OPINION IS THE BEST FILM EVER MADE. IT IS BOTH A DRAMATIC AND ACTION BASED MOVIE. IT SHOWS THE REALITY OF WAR AND THE DIFFERENT CONFLICTS. IT NOT ONLY SHOWS THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE AMERICANS AND VIETNAMIES, BUT ALSO SHOWS THE CONLICT BETWEN TWO PLATOON LEADERS, SERGEANT ELIAS AND SERGEANT BARNES. ALTHOUGH IT IS VIOLENT AND GOREY IT IS STILL AN EXCELLENT MOVIE.

Review: Platoon is the most powerful and dramatic War film of all time. I cant believe how much this movie rules. Its the greatest War film since Apocalypse Now. If you havent seen Platoon then you havent seen anything. Its an amazing and truthful film that goes all the way......and more!

Summary: A movie that will shadow all others of its kind for decades
Review: Platoon is an incredable movie that shows all aspects of war, at it's best and worst. This movie is so historicly accurate and moving that it will touch anyone to the point that they buy this fine feature film. I did..

Summary: An excellent look into the "real" Vietnam!
Review: "Platoon" is a dramatic movie that truly portrays what life was like in Vietnam and the hell that the men went through daily. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a great Vietnam War film.

Summary: This is a must have DVD
Review: The film does have some historical inaccuracies, such as so many events happening to one platoon. Even so, it is one of the closest representations I can imagine of Vietnam. Since the events in Platoon represent what any given platoon could have gone through; the film works to give us a good overview of the kind of things that happened in that conflict. Having noted that, I would recommend the DVD version because of the extras you get. Dale Dye's narration alone is worth the price. The film is shown in it's entirety, the narration running along with the film and giving extra little bits of information. Pretty cool. It is too lengthy to get into all the details here, but if you have a chance to view this DVD, you will understand my enthusiasm.

Summary: great movie
Review: I was quite taken by this movie, that is an enormous understatement, but nonetheless i'll stick with that for the time being. i didn't really know what i was in for when i rented this, i must say i was completely surprised at the at the acting and depth of the plot. the elias/barnes entanglement is a great conflict and dafoe's supporting performance is reason enough to watch this. Sheen also gives in his best performance of his life (arguably), the voice overs reminded me of a film 7 years its senior..."Apocalypse Now". Platoon is a great movie, my only complaint or question rather is: why isn't it out on video? it's in the afi top 100 and yet it's not available. if anyone has an answer to this please notify the rest of us, i'll come back speratically to check on it. some guy from bravo company said it wasn't acurate according to that platoon, that's just being esoteric and scrupulous now isn't it?
