Movie Reviews of Hamburger Hill
Movie Review: Look at the bright side, it can only get better from here.
Summary: 1 Stars
The characters could not be less interesting. The battle scenes could not be more fake. This is a terrible movie!! It's a shame, there are not too many good Vietnam movies. Watch Rescue Dawn instead.Movie Review: Heroism
Summary: 4 Stars
Derision of war. May 1969, win at any cost and on a mountain in which Viet Cong troops are entrenched. The film is about the commitment of soldiers called the same profiles as those described in "Platoon", in this tragic mission to conquer this mountain, without understanding the strategic interest (is there? Absurdity?) that requires conquest as tribute blood shed. Scenes of terrible war. A story based on real facts - the conquest of a Mount has been a real butcher, gave him the name "Hamburger."
A film highlight of very high quality.
Movie Review: Raw Meat
Summary: 5 Stars
This film portrays the Vietnam war with crude reality. You will experience how the soldiers were stressed physically and emotionally. One of the best Vietnam films I know.Movie Review: better as history than as a film
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very interesting film. It basically takes a very bloody battle from the middle of the war and recreates its from the perspective of the smallest unit on the front lines. The strength of the film is that all the events of the battle are incredibly accurate in terms of detail. The weakness of the film is that because of its "point of view", it doesn't always do a great job of explaining whats going on in the broader sense of the battle. The needed more exposition scenes in the second half of the film explaining what was going on and why things were happening. Especially from the first and second level officer's perspective.
Its interesting in that the viewer of the film not familar with the battle will see it just like the soldier on the ground saw it: a confusing mess. I'm not sure if that perspective at the cost of understanding what was going on was the right choice to make.
The only other flaw in an otherwise great movie is a bunch of political bitching about things going on at home that was tacked on at one point and sounded totally false. All those things happened to certain people, but they didn't all happen to one unit during their tour (opposed to after) and they guys didn't talk about it like they did in the film.
In terms of Vietnam films, this is with its flaws still 100x better than junk like "Platoon" or vietnam films not about vietnam like Apocolipse now.
