Movie Reviews of Go Tell the Spartans
Movie Review: Not Good At All
Summary: 2 Stars
I wasn't impressed. Poor production quality,the actors didn't look like they were in the military, an awful picture. I'm glad I bought a used copy so it didn't cost too much.Movie Review: OUTDATED FULLSCREEN FORMAT?
Summary: 1 Stars
FILMED IN ASPECT RATIO 1:85 WIDESCREEN BUT RELEASED IN 1:33 FULLSCREEN WITH 1/3 OF THE SCENES CROPPED OFF FROM THE SIDES FOR WHAT REASON? FULLSCREEN WENT OUT WITH THE 20TH CENTURY THANK GOD! BUT THE OLD SCHOOL STUDIOS CAN'T SEEM TO LET IT GO?
LEONARDO DA VINCI'S 'LAST SUPPER' PAINTING WITH ONLY 6 DISCIPLES SHOWING INSTEAD OF 12 BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE UP TO MUCH CANVAS, WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO THE STUDIOS AS LONG AS YOU CAN SEE JESUS IN THE MIDDLE!
BUYERS STOP PURCHASING THESE BUTCHERED VERSIONS OF MOVIES AND FORCE THE HAND OF THE STUDIOS TO RELEASE THEM AS THE ARTIST INTENDED! LET'S DRAG THEM KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE 21ST CENTURY WHERE MOST OF US OWN WIDESCREEN TV'S OR PREFER SEEING THE WHOLE FILM AS INTENDED. AFTER ALL IF YOU BUY SOMETHING YOU WANT TO OWN THE WHOLE AND NOT THE PART!
Movie Review: Unrealistic Waste
Summary: 1 Stars
I wasted good money on what I had read was a "good film". This is befitting of something that panders to stereotypes of the Vietnam war. The mid-1970s long haircuts, WWII vehicles, and over-acting detracted from what might have been a good film. If they had gotten a real soldier as a technical advisor for the film making, they could have avoided making it a cheap version of MASH. Sorry, the film is not instructive, does not realistically portray the Army of 1964 and is not very entertaining. As a Vietnam-era infantry veteran I give this film two-thumbs down.Movie Review: A word of friendly warning to people who love this movie
Summary: 1 Stars
Many previous reviewers expressed high hopes in the long-awaited release of this movie on DVD. Well, sorry, folks, if you really love it you'll have to wait some more: HBO video botched it big time. For one thing, the picture is cropped in the best pan & scan fashion (in case you're wondering: no, it's not open matte) and the picture quality looks like was it most likely is, a (badly) digitally cleaned-up rehash of the old VHS transfer. In a word: stay away from it!Movie Review: Unwatchable
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a really good movie. One the first Vietnam films to deal with the war in a realistic way. It was the best in this regard until Platoon.
Unfortunately, this DVD release is perhaps the worst I've seen in recent years from a major studio. It is not widescreen and the transfer is fuzzy and the color palette limited. I agree with another reviewer. It's probably just a digital copy of the VHS version.
An absolute disaster.
