Absolute garbage. Pure make believe out of the brain of leftist idiot Oliver Stone - about as real as visiting Disneyland. In the movie the American soldier is depicted as a psychopathic killer-murderer and/or a blood-thirsty rapist and…

This movie is rated R for war violence. This film has excellent actors: Charlie Sheen, Tom Berenger, Willem DaFoe, Forest Whitaker, and Johnny Depp. The main character is Chris Taylor and he volunteers to go fight in Vietnam in the…

Not nearly as great a movie as I remember it. Simplistic, outdated, and overly violent. Not subtle and deliberately subtle in its presentation and content. Morally black and white with NO shades of gray. Sort of addresses issues of…

Outstanding movie. Told like it was. I am sorry to say that we did not learn our lesson from this war. WE repeat it over and over again.

As I write this, Paul Rudd and Keenu Reeves are fighting in my head to be my second favorite actor behind Pierce Brosnan. Kinda like Jack and pot fighting for possession of Charlie Sheen's soul in "Platoon." He might still be fighting, Old…

The movie does need English subtitles because it is very difficult to understand what they are saying. Great movie!

Fairly good at depicting a pretty bad situation. Didn't need to be as much focus on smoking.

Middling good for a Vietnam movie.

One has to admit the action sequences depicting the Vietnam War are out of date. However, I was caught in the soldiers' struggle to maintain their sanity during the war. The movie is similar in terms of quality to Born on the Fourth of…

So, it would seem that Platoon, from 1986, was the film that finally exposed some mighty harsh realities to the viewer about the Vietnam War..... Realities, such as, the condoned rape of Vietnamese women and the hatefulness of the US…

If you liked this movie, you'd prolly like "The Rookie" starring Clint Eastwood and a very young Charlie Sheen...

I was working at a theater when this movie opened. First matinee the ushers were all waiting in the back for the people to leave. At the end there was this one guy who hadn't left. His hands were clinching his arm rests. I went over to him…
