A great depiction of soldier life February 12, 1999
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I like this movie because it most correctly depicts what it is like to be a member in a squad of soldiers. There are no moral messages, like in "Platoon". There are no messages about society like in "Full Metal Jacket". There is no glory for the soldier in the movie, there are no parades. It is a movie about a group of men bound together by Army Green, sent to a brutal world...to live if possible, or die. "Hamburger Hill" is about the bond between soldiers. It is about the madness, the despair and the confusion of battle. It is about the American fighting soldier at his best, his worst, his high and low. It is a glimpse in the life of me, of you, of our dads, our brothers, our uncles, our sons...in a hellish place on earth named WAR.
 Pales in comparison to Platoon, very poor audio and f/x. February 1, 1999

I bought this movie expecting much more than I got out of it. The audio was so poor I had to alter the volume constantly throughout the movie. The special f/x(or lack thereof) were horrible, the explosions looked like firecrackers. The acting was nothing to speak of either, with poor dialog and emotions throughout. I give the movie 2 stars(instead of one) only because it seemed to be a faithful rendition of the Vietnam experience.
My favorite movie!!! January 31, 1999

I believe that this is one of the best war movies of all time. The battles are the most realistic next to "Saving Private Ryan."
