**Ponderous, meandering epic with a few bright spots.** This film is about a soldiers quest to find a renegade and insane Colonel (a bald Brando in an extended cameo) who has hidden himself away in the depths of the jungle and is causing all manner of commotion. Quite what it was - I can't remember, but it _was_ important enough to go down stream in search of him. Sheen's character decides...

I think a lot of people who think this film is a classic are deranged, the only memorable scene in the film is when they drop exploding napalm and the guy in the hat says "I love the smell of napalm in the morning", the rest of the film is a completely boring bombshell and it's like the film was high on drugs as there's this one part where people are butchering a cow in the most grotesque way poss...

***One of the greatest films ever made*** The original "Apocalypse Now" is an awe-inspiring masterpiece and is my all-time favorite film. Memorable scenes abound, starting with the mind-blowing opening with Willard (Martin Sheen) having a mental breakdown in his sweltering Saigon hotel room to the tune of The Doors' "The End."

This is, I think, the definitive Vietnam war movie. Martin Sheen is "Capt.

Did I miss something!? This was rated one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. I'm a sci-fi fantasy guy but this movie was boring, sorry. I can watch a movie with low budget effects, I even prefer the original "Alien" movie to the latest CGI ones now because they rely more on the story rather than the special effects. But this movie, maybe they just relied too much on the actors.
