Epic. Truly epic. This is not a film. It's an experience. Once watched, never forgotten.
It's not a traditional war film, in the mold of something like Platoon or Saving Private Ryan, but this makes it even better. Throw in Brando, Sheen, Duvall and Hopper, some astounding moments, dialogue and cinematography, and Coppola, perhaps the worlds best filmmaker, and it equals perfection.
Watch, embrace, believe. Cinema at its finest
