Movie Reviews of Battleground Vietnam: War in the Jungle
Movie Review: All over the place, very dissapointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Where do I start...
1. Very sappy, which adds a fakeness ra ra ra quality to it. The background noise that drowns out the technical expertise of the narrator is extremely annoying. The background noise consists of constant machine gun fire and mortar fire that has nothing to do with the narration and John Wayne type "let's go get em boys" music constantly blaring in the background, so half of what they are trying to teach you, you miss. I felt like I was watching a 1950's propaganda film half of the time.
2. The title of the DVD is very misleading and that pissed me off! The title reads Battlefield Vietnam War In The Jungle... there's very little footage of any real battles in the jungles of Vietnam on any of these five DVD's. Almost an entire DVD is devoted to POW Scotsdale and his wife, which although had its moments I did not buy this DVD for this, this was drawn out wayyyy too long and should have been a movie on Lifetime or Oprah's network vs. in this DVD set. I thought I was going to be hearing real testimony from soldiers who fought at actual battles and seeing footage of those battles... nope aint gonna happen. The battle field footage does not match the narration at all. At one time a guy was talking about flying a helicopter onto a mountain top at night, yet the battle field scenes were in the middle of the day. Terrible!
This DVD set is kinda like a long version of Oliver North's nightly show on Fox News. Look, I don't need patriotic music playing in the background constantly or a nice feel good story to tie it all up in a pretty bow for me. I'm a serious student of military conflict I want the real deal and this aint it. I will likely get another DVD set and give this one away as a Christmas gift.
