Platoon (DVD, 2000) (German\French\Spanish\Italian)

good

pity (johnny d) didn't have a more prominent role

the storyline is rather brutal, although the characters are quite engaging. However, the fact that (Johnny Depp) is hardly noticeable in the film, and has to be looked for, is a little annoying to a (johnny d) fan, can't help wondering if whoever was in charge of the casting for this film, hasn't waisted an opportunity, to cast (johnny d) in a more prominent noticeable to the everyday type viewer, role, which would have greatly enhanced the appeal of the film, Any of the prominent roles would have suited (johnny d), and with (him) in the limelight more, the brutality this film entails, might have been less noticeable. Only really interesting, without much appearance from (johnny d), if this particular ((war)) is of interest to the viewer, to (myself), personally it isn't, thanks for requesting the review, (nafc31)Read full review

The worst of laughable Hollywood Vietnam films!

100% hilariously unbelievable. From Charlie Sheen's puking, with no vomit; ..to his smoking pot, without exhaling smoke! ..From the melodramatic death of Willem Dafoe; ..to the ridiculous timing of the jet strike that saves Sheen's ass! ..A joke from start to finish!
..Oh! And I'm sure if you wanted to survive the war, you'd go around the jungle with white bottles on your helmet; and your white arms uncovered! Wouldn't you?
..But maybe that's why the Americans lost it? ..Coz they all seem to do it in their Vietnam movies!Read full review
