Not nearly as good as people claim it is.
this is not an easy to watch movie because it's so intense and dramatic. you will be captivated by all cast's performances especially chris walken.
long, boring, but the acting is excellent and Streep is sexy hot in this film, a classic, but very long
Robert de nero is surely one of my favorite actor i cant wait 2 see the deer hunter.
An excellent Vietnam war film. My whole respect for this one. One of the most brutally shocking and realistic portrayals of the Vietnam War and its aftermath, including psychological and character consequences. Genius.
89/100
A powerful film which tackles the effects that the Vietnam War had on its American participants, looking at before, during and after going to war. Admittedly some parts, such as the wedding, did go on for longer than I felt needed, yet you could argue this was a big factor in est...( read more)
The Deer Hunter isn't just the greatest war film ever made, it's one of the greatest films ever made. Absolutely everything in this movie is perfect, from the powerful performances to the beautiful music. A masterpiece!
snoozefest until the russian roulette scene, then more snoozing until walken (spoiler alert!) blows his head off.
I'm sorry but this just didn't do it for me. The party scene at the begining just lasts forever and you lose all interest. And then when they just jumps right into the action (wich could be a good effect if it's done right) I had lost all faith in the movie and they had lost me f...( read more)
I found it pretty boring, but the Russian roulette scene was pretty awesome. The first 40 minutes was just a wedding and besides the fact that there were Frankie Valli songs, it was just annoying. Then it continued to drag on. But it's worth seeing just for the Russian roulette s...( read more)
This is a real classic movie about the Vietnam war affects the lives of people in a small industrial town in the USA. Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken does a brilliant job.
i might be one of the only people who didnt care for this maybe its a generation thing.i tried too watch this yearts ago and got bored with it in about 25 minutes and shut it off finally finished it now.so heres my summary wedding war insanity the end
My Favorite Movie of All Time. id write a better review, but you'd have to pay me
En ciertos momentos un poco lenta, pero con dos escenas absolutamente míticas.
THE BEST STORY THE BEST MOTION PICTURE THE BEST CAST BUT THE BEST OF THEM ALL WAS TWO ARE ROBERT DE NIRO AND CHRISTOPHER WALKEN
The Deer Hunter is one of the most heartbreaking films I have ever seen. Relationships are changed forever when war arrives. The impact this film brings to us as an audience is too powerful to contain at times. Robert De Niro's virtuoso performance is my favourite of his to date....( read more)
I'm amazed folks didn't blame this movie for making Russian Roulette popular.
Yes to De Niro, Walken and Cazale.
But, in the words of Mark Kermode, who is often right, The Deer Hunter is "about 3 hours too long".
Brilliant and so entertaining and cause you to sympathise with the characters and real people who have been to war.
one of the most emotional movie i've ever seen.,
the 'russian-roulette' game, geez, but it surely play a big role to shape this movie..
Great movie. It made me realize how friendship is such an important thing to a human being.
The acting in this film is absolutely stunning. Christopher Walken is impeccable in his performance and Meryl Streep is (as always) spectacular. A tear jerker and thought provoker.
Long, random and mostly useless shots fill the first hour of THE DEER HUNTER. What comes next is so different, it's like you're not even watching the same movie.
Raw, chilling, realistic war sequences. Great performances by Christopher Walken, John Savage and Meryl Streep; and...( read more)
Synopsis: An in-depth examination of the way that the Vietnam war affects the lives of people in a small industrial town in the USA.
i thought this would be awesome like robert de niro, ass kicking in nam and going crazy or something. but no, it was robert de niro, pennsylvania bum. boring as fuck waste of three hours.
My first thought about this story, was that it was going to be really draggy and straining to follow. Because in my experience, that's normally the case when a movie is as long and old as this one. Luckily, however, I couldn't have been more wrong in my presumptions. Not a single...( read more)
The film gives a view into how war affects people. It takes an hour to get into the war, but gives you plenty of background about the characters and how they change after the war. De Niro, Walken and Streep are fantastic.
