There are really good things in this film. It is really original, and I love the way it reaches such an spiritual atmosphere without ever losing the sense of reality. Nevertheless, this long version of the film is terribly slow and boring. I There are really good things in this film.

The original balanced all the elements out nicely to make a terrifying, disturbing and utterly brilliant film. The redux version messes up this fragile balance by adding too much uninteresting new material that ruins the pace of the movie The original balanced all the elements out nicely to make a terrifying, disturbing and utterly brilliant film. The redux version messes up this fragile balance by adding too much uninteresting new material that ruins the pace of the movie completly. I was particularly disappointed with the playboy bunny reprise- sheen and co are supposed to be in hell..there are no obliging playboy bunnies in hell. And the French colonists scene was so boring- it served no purpose. I fear this version has almost ruined the original for me!… Expand

This movie is really boring and made me sleep in 10 seconds. Its just a bunch of poor Japanese getting nuked by Americans. Really, no point of watching it.

It is the best Vietnam movie. But no war movie which presents only war facts and no morality apart of the 'who won is the best' has nothing worth to see.

My first time seeing the movie was the remake. The famous valkyrie helicopter scene felt pointless, dragged out and without suspense. Just endless death, didn't make me cheer for anyone.

Just endless death, didn't make me cheer for anyone. It gets better in the middle as you get to know the supporting cast better. The ending is ridicilous, unbelievable. Everyone knows war is **** but this movie is taking it too far by creating ridiculous scenarios. It's got something going for it though. The acting is good and there is a feeling of mystery as they venture further and further into the jungle. Sadly apocalypse now feels like a dokudrama on drugs and fails to provoke anything but boredom, intrigue and despise. Maybe that was what it wanted to do, but I surely didn't enjoy it.… Expand
