Apocalypse Now

One of the worst movies I have ever seen... wasted 3 hours on this... the cast, the screenplay, the story and the direction... everything was bad...

The first 80% of the movie was probably the best film I have ever seen and I'm 67 years old. The final 20% made little sense and wasn't particularly interesting. There you go.

The battles are well shot, but the journey in the human soul is a philosophical failure.

Terrific film up until the last 30-40 minutes when they get to their destination. Its at that point that I found myself wondering if I was watching the same film. Incoherent speaking. Dull. Brando ruined it.

Um fantástico filme de guerra! É mais um grande trabalho do Coppola que explora de forma muito interessante a guerra no Vietname. (avaliação: 9/10)

This will always remain very close to the top of my list. Closest thing to real Vietnam you are likely to ever witness. Casting is spot on, could not have been better. Absurd enough and harsh enough as well. True classic in every sense of the word. Textbook film making indeed

I saw this when it came out in 1979 while I was still in high school. Fell asleep the first 2 times I saw it. Revisited this film about 25 years ago and thought it was outstanding. Watched it again last night with my high-school aged daughter who loves theater arts, She looked at me at the end and said, "Dad, that is one of the best movies you have ever showed me. However, I never want to watch it again". That sums up the power of Apocalypse Now. Gritty, brutal and beautifully filmed. Excellent character development that contributes to genuinely caring about what happens to everyone on this journey to insanity. My take is that this film holds up better today (46 years later) than when it was originally released.

More like apocalypse later!

A gripping and intense film about the horrors of war.

It’s way too long. If you can find a fifth of the day to dedicate you time to watch this, then you’ll probably be fine. There’s better war films.
