Wolfman898's Review
Summary - Really Great 4.5
Captain Willard is sent into the jungle to kill a former military man who has gone insane and claims to be a god. Along his journey, Captian williard becomes more and More like the man he was sent to kill.
It’s one of the best war movies ever, the best war movie not directed by Steven Speilberg.
The directing is flawless, and the acting, well, by the men, is as well. It’s not very sad, but it is hard to watch, especially the scenes with the water buffalo.
Acting - Really Great 4.5
What a CAST! Marlon Brando, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishbourne? The only thing it’s missing is Al Pacino.
Male Stars - Perfect 5.0
Marlon Brando gives an amazing acting performance, his best since "The Godfather". Martin Sheen is awesome, his decent into madness is great.Female Stars - Great 4.0
Do the Dancers count as female stars?Female Costars - Great 4.0

Regarding willjros’s Review
I can’t emphasise how good I thought this film to be. Whilst it dragged quite substantially at parts, I’ve not felt such a build-up of tension and anticipation in a movie, and Brando doesn’t throw this out the window when he finally appears as Kurtz. It must be heartening, given the problems encountered in making this movie, that it is now so acclaimed.
