???

 

Apocalypse Now and is not even competitive.

I prefer FMJ overall

The last 1/3 of Apocalypse Now is just a fucking mess to me and Dennis Hopper is unwatchable

 

never saw this other movie, but full metal jacket is great. up until the drill sarge is killed

 

"this other movie"

oool

 

"Apocalypse Now" is I guess, objectively the better movie, but if I had to pick one to watch right now, it would be "Full Metal Jacket". I even like the 2nd half, that everybody else seems to hate.

"Apocalypse Now" is like doing fucking homework. You need to commit to that shit. The documentary on "Apocalypse Now" is inherently more watchable then the actual movie.

 

Platoon skelps both - Hooever - Ye’d have tae eat the peanuts ootae ma shit before Ah’d watch Apocalypse Noo over Fool Metal Jacket.

 

Full Metal Jacket, as good as it is, doesnt even remotely capture anything accurate about Vietnam.

2nd-half, it was shot in the then re-developing London Docklands.....and it fuckin looks like it, too.

 

You're absolutely right. My dad has told me as much. Still quite absorbing in it's own atmospheric way though.

 

Agree, Platoon is the best of the Vietnam films

 

Colluding with the Leftists here: Platoon is the best Vietnam film. Period!

 

This....whatever this is I see Platoon > FMJ, Apocalypse Now REDUX...

 

Fuck Redux. The orignal is miles better.

 

Agreed. Redux drags ass and diminishes the film.

 

I'm with Illu, I think Redux improves it. Fills in lots of giant holes in the original release.

 

It doesn't improve it in any way whatsoever.

 

I say it does.

 

You can say all you like.
It doesn't, you're wrong.

 

I think I'm probably right.

 

Yup.
And I'm right.

 

Redux is pointless. I'm not a fan of adding onto any classic that's ALREADY long in the first place.

The original is much better.

 

Yup.
For those and the reasons I've posted.

 

Imagine somebody saying "I wanna add an additional 45 mins to Lawrence of Arabia".

 

Immediate liquidation.

 

Stop fucking pretending that "Apocalypse Now" is some sort of unassailable masterpiece. It has about a half dozen great scenes, but as a full movie, it's a fucking mess of a film.

 

Apocalypse Now is the most overrated film of all time

 

Wrong Wrong Wrong!



Bitch.

 

It's not even the most overrated WAR movie of all time!

That distinction goes to The Thin Red Line... which is a pretentious, "artsy" piece of shit.

 

You're just trolling me now, motherfucker!

Not ganna do it!

 

"Apocalypse Now" is the "Scarface" of War movies.
