  • August 13, 2009
    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) Visually this film is just astonishing. Its also an editorial tour de force. There are scenes in this film that are bound to stay with you forever.

    scary shit, what nam was really about
  • August 11, 2009
    I'm amazed folks didn't blame this movie for making Russian Roulette popular.
  • August 8, 2009
    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".
  • August 8, 2009
    My dad told me to watch this movie. Very intense
  • August 1, 2009
    Brilliant and so entertaining and cause you to sympathise with the characters and real people who have been to war.
  • August 1, 2009
    gritty and seems very real
  • July 24, 2009
    one of the all time greats, not to be missed
  • July 22, 2009

  • July 19, 2009
    A masterpiece. De Niro and Streep... Plus Walken...
  • July 12, 2009
    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..
  • July 10, 2009
    Great movie. It made me realize how friendship is such an important thing to a human being.
  • July 8, 2009
    Very slow movie. Some shootings in the mountains and seas are awesome!
  • June 23, 2009
    Very good, a classic
  • June 17, 2009
    Know any Vietnam Vets you want to piss off? This'll do it.
  • June 16, 2009
    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.
  • June 15, 2009
    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) an excellent one by Robert De Niro make for a heartbreaking, thought-provoking classic.

    THE DEER HUNTER would've benefited from a shorter running time and a broader view of the Vietnam War, not just the American perspective.
  • June 8, 2009
    Dobry film - ale z ta wybitnoscia, legenda i w ogole... to nie sadze.
  • June 7, 2009
    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.
  • June 7, 2009
    OK ...BUT WHY CALL IT THE DEER HUNTER..
  • June 7, 2009
    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.
  • June 4, 2009
    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) scene had me bored, and it held my attention through and through. The reasons for that are many, but the true key to what makes this movie a compelling watch, is the superbly written character development, combined with a stellar cast. The way the characters are transformed through the horrors and hardships they experience, feels as genuine as it is scary. Not only thanks to the fantastic acting, but because you know deep inside that these sort of things have really happened, all around the world. Now, I wouldn't go as far as to call this as masterpiece, like so many others do. But I can definitely understand why it's received such high acclaim, and is regarded as one of the great classics. For it is a good and memorable piece of film-making, that leaves you with a lot to ponder, as well as a very important message. One that is as relevant today as it was back when this was made.

  • May 31, 2009
    i love him so much his walk,his talk,his mouth,his eyes all of him yum,yum
  • May 28, 2009
    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.
  • May 26, 2009
    Great movie and its not even about real deer hunting!
  • May 25, 2009
    I guess it's a great movie. I just found it unutterably depressing.
  • May 19, 2009
    An amazing movie about the affect of war, friendship, love, lust and let-downs. The actors are better than ever before, especially De Niro, Streep and Walken are memorable.
  • May 17, 2009
    Was inspired to watch it followed by the great reviews I read. Unfortunately, I was hardly impressed even a bit by it. The lengthiness of the movie only added to my agony. Wish I wouldn't have stumbled upon this one!!!
  • May 13, 2009
    This movie disturbed me when I was growing up...Can't say why
  • May 13, 2009
    Gritty, good acting all around
  • May 11, 2009
    Cristopher Walken best thing about this movie. maybe if 20 mins shorter would have been a great film.
  • May 8, 2009
    Good movie







    great movie, its one of my best movies ever
  • April 30, 2009
    the greaest vietnam film ever
  • April 17, 2009
    This film is a war movie, but with barely any war in it. It mainly uses war as a mid-section to show the contrast of before and after the Vietnam war experience. Very happy small town people's lives change drastically. Try not to get depressed after this film, i dare you
  • April 14, 2009
    A real feel-good kind of movie.
  • April 9, 2009
    Take your time watching this = it is very profound
  • April 6, 2009
    A real shocker in it's time.
  • April 5, 2009
    Though unnecessary long for my taste, I have to admit this is a very good movie.
    Christopher Walken is marvellous here! That mad face of his works perfectly in order to show not only the experience of living a war from the inside, but also the feelings left on a soldier's head a...( read more)nd body afterwards.
    If you are patient enought to watch it, you'll probably not regret it.
  • April 3, 2009
    Terrific Vietnam war film which follows the similar/different paths of three friends.... Outstanding performances all around. A must see!
  • March 31, 2009
    Kinda forgot about this movie, i think i need to re-watch it because all i remember is the russian roulette scene.
  • March 30, 2009
    Damn good movie. Fuck you christpher walken! Why'd you have to kill yourself you dumb fuck!!!!
