Stone's war not for effects, but for humanity...

A really great war movie. It feels very grounded, nothing too over the top. It's more about the people fighting and how it effects them. I thought Charlie Sheen was great and Willem Dafoe was fantastic.

A decent story but on the wrong side of Saving Private Ryan (ie special effects are hokey)

Amazing movie about war and the impact that it has on men. Some really impactful and impressive stuff. And man, what a joy to see the young faces of all these amazing actors. Did they realize back then how much of these actors were going to be big stars? My god.

One of the few good war movies b/c it portrays the cruelty (of war and men) and the uselessness of war in a very authentic way. If the ending (Chris' few last word) would have been a little less idle talk and more meaningful, I would have given Platoon even 8/10 stars.

The first film in Oliver Stone’s anti-Vietnam War trilogy, Platoon presents a gritty, nihilistic vision. The story follows a U.S. Marine Corps. platoon that gets swept up in the fever of war, and proceeds to commit a series of war crimes and frag their fellow soldiers. While Stone claims the film is based on his personal experiences, the characters and situations seem overly exaggerated in order fit the themes of the horrors of war and man’s dual nature; and this ends up hurting the storytelling. With the overt anti-war politics, Platoon plays out as a poorly told allegory.

A really great war film that's truly devasting I love how we see the effect on the characters just as much as the effects of the actual war. Both are shown just the right amount of time to show the effect of the war. Charlie Sheen is really good and Willem Dafoe is great.
