Movie Reviews of Go Tell the Spartans
Movie Review: Good acting, good story but production values poor
Summary: 3 Stars
I was prepared to like this movie a lot: I am a Burt Lancaster fan and I served in Vietnam as an advisor. But I was disappointed because the overall poor quality of the sets, the cliched depiction of most of the characters, and the lack of realism combined to make it just an average movie. But it told a truer story than most of the bilge that attempt to pass themselves off as "truth", such as Platoon or Apocalypse Now.Movie Review: Not Bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I believe this was the first Vietnam War movie...it hits the target well, one side fighting an all out war while the other side ( America) fighting a limited war.Movie Review: MASH with Blue Language and no Laughs, Good Writing nor Acting.
Summary: 2 Stars
As soon as the movie started, I thought it was of those cheap made for TV movies that were cranked out in the 70's. Well it was not made for TV, but it certainly was cheap. I think the whole movie budget had to go to Lancaster, who by the way was given some the corniest, cheeseball lines in his career.
Battle scenes are sparse and look really cheap when they do occur. Not only are Lancaster's lines bad, the rest of the cast has nothing to work with either. Most lines are over acted and there is one character that is SO bad he was funny.
On a postive note, I think is does show how screwed up aspects of the were executed, bit overall, I would like to have that 114 minutes of my life back...Bad, Bad, Bad...
Movie Review: Go Tell The Spartans this movie is garbage.

I shouldn't have to go any further than Marc Singer and Craig Wasson, that ought to tell you something right there.
WORST Vietnam movie ever made. Period. I dont know what these morons with 4/5 star reviews are smoking. This thing is horrible, and made worse by one of Hollywood's most revered actors, Burt Lancaster, using language and saying things that are waaaaay out of character and that you have never heard him say before. Not to mention he's far to old for the role as a field commander at age 65!!!!!
This movie is bad, there is no way you can pretty it up and wrap roses around it, its acrap production. 2 bullets, and I'm being kind.
Movie Review: Go Tell the Spartans
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a B class movie set in Vietnam in the early 1960's. The soldiers are MAAG Advisors, the vietnamese troops are ruff-puffs. It is technically correct in terms of uniforms, weapons, etc. and is probably Burt Lancaster's sunset appearance. Veteran's who were in Vietnam during that era will appreciate the technical aspects of the film but will not be impressed with the weak storyline, even if it is true.
