bad guy, go and beat up whoever told you it's not that good!!!
i highly recommend it. if you are looking for a flashy, pro-war movie then this film is NOT for you! the acting is excellent by everbody, the length is long (over 3 hours!) but necessary IMO, and the directing is brilliant! de niro's acting is superb, and john cazale and christopher walken are also. you don't acually see much of the vietnam war, but what you do see is enough, and allows for great, gut-wrenching acting in the aftermath! go and get it!
i speak a little biased here, as i have not seen platoon and apocalypse now, but this is the best 'nam movie i've seen, ahead of the killing fields.

My dad rented this one for me last week. I loved it. I think it was a little long, and I thought the wedding scene in the beginning could have been cut down and the Vietnam scenes lengthened. Other than that I was incredibly impressed. The feeling I had after the conclusion of the movie stayed with me for days. DeNiro was, of course, out of this world. His scenes during Vietnam were incredbile. Christopher Walken was also amazing, in fact, that movie made me have a new respect for him as an actor. I always saw him as the "creepy" guy, but he truely was magnificant as Nicky. It's a film that is neither anti-war nor pro-war, and it leaves you with a sense of how changed people were by their experiences in Vietnam. A definate one to watch, especially if you are a DeNiro fan. Highy recommended.

By the way, this movie has nothing to do with the Mafia, what is it doing here? my thoughts exactly, it's a war movie, not other mob movie! i read philosopher's stone; very good book, but for some reason i ain't interested in watching the movie. well i watched it! and i thought the wedding scene was toooooooooo long and the war shit was cool but the rest kinda sucked. maybe i need to watch it again lol to get back on the subject, i think the deer hunter's intentions wasn't to show what the vietnam war was like; it was to show how the lives of normal men were affected by it. the wedding scene is not too long IMO; it shows how close these people are to each other, and leads up to the war brilliantly. i think this movie shows that you don't need to show the actual war itself to get the message across. bad guy, watch it again, taking my post into consideration, and maybe you will appreciate it more! mick ps. does anybody know what the guy in charge of the russian roulette game on the river means when he keeps shouting: "MAO!"

Unbelieveable movie. Deserves two best film awards, just for being so good.
The Don Ferro
And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
