Riviting, disturbing, wrecks your day kind of film. Great, but wrenches your soul for the price.
The Deer Hunter Reviews and Ratings

-
October 24, 2008One of the best war films ever made. It should be seen by everyone atleast once. It may be long but it certainly isn't boring. However if you're expecting a balls-to-the-wall flat-out savage war, prepare to be disappointed. It's much more of a character study and goes in depth in...( read more)
-
October 20, 2008The performances, the screenplay, the directing the emotional impact on the viewer and the pacing. All absoloutly outstanding.
Robert De Niro is phenominal, Christopher Walken definatly deserved his oscar for best surporting actor and the other cast members, including the alwa...( read more) -
October 16, 2008Quite the depressing movie. Shows the mental effects war can have on a person - how it can irreversibly change a person.

September 30, 2008You can't deny the power of this film at the end. Coming out in 1978 (only several years after the Vietnam War) probably made it that more powerful and significant at the time. However, this movie was 3 hours of a lot of boredom and dull moments. The acting was great. I escpe...( read more)

September 28, 2008A bit too long, but everything fits together perfectly. I've watched this movie over and over again. Masterpiece.

September 21, 2008It's good but it's long. has some memerably quoted scenes but is not for everyone.

August 28, 2008I did not see the end of this movie yet, but I thought it is quite intense. This is another movie from the time of the vietnam war, but instead of focusing on the war itself, we see before the war, a little during and after the war. No complaints to say about the acting, especi...( read more)

August 28, 2008Good Lord,How excellent is this movie!!??.

August 26, 2008This is truly one of the most powerful and moving, and emotionally shattering films that I have ever watched. Despite how it looks on paper, this film manages to be neither truly for or against war. It shows the effects of war on one specific demographic, how it permenantly alter...( read more)

August 17, 2008Overall an impressive and powerful movie (with a beautiful photography), but I expected better performances from such list of good actors.

-
August 4, 2008One of the best war movies i've seen so far, explaining the aftermath of a war. the acting is flawless, as well as the directing. A Masterpiece
-
August 1, 2008epic film about the friendship between three men, the ones they leave behind and how they are forever altered after their ordeal in a Vietnamese prison camp. An emotionally shattering experience. One of the best films of the 70s

July 24, 2008This movie is GREAT Ive always had a thing for War Movies.At the end of the movie it just shows how much war fucks up peoples lifes
-
July 21, 2008An excellent film, however an entirely different animal than Apocalypse Now. This film focuses more on the people going to war and the ones back home, and how everything changes in 'Nam. The acting is superb, De Niro and Walken are brilliant, however the only reason i can't give ...( read more)

July 20, 2008this movie touched me so deeply i named my oldest child after the part Christopher... played... Nikki
-
July 19, 2008They really cold have made this a little shorter. It does have some of the most intense scenes ever though.
-
-
July 10, 2008This movie really shows how war srews people up. Starts with a bunch of mates living normal lives, ends... well you can imagine. Only problem i have with this movie is the wedding part is way too long.

July 9, 2008christopher walken stuns me with this. how did he allow himself to be so monumentally mistypecast after this AMAZING performance? (de niro SO mails it in, by the way, IMHO).
-
July 9, 2008I bought this movie for 5 bucks on VHS at Wal-mart in West Monroe.
What a film. -
July 8, 2008This is the movie that gave Cimino the power to make Heaven's Gate and the ego to go along with it. This film is great (DeNiro, Walken, Streep, Cazale, and Savage are all amazing) and it looks great, too. And that brings me back to my point: are "great" directors made by great DP...( read more)

July 3, 2008This is a hard movie to sit through and watch what happens to these characters, but it's great at the same time and captures the Vietnam War unlike any other war film. A must see.

June 27, 20083+ hours? Come on! I know there may be some marit to this film, but I couldn't wait for it to be over, and in my book that doesn't deserve a high rating.

-
June 25, 2008The Deer Hunter was probably the worst compiled setup of prioritizing in a film ever made. Why they spent 50 minutes preparing for an extremely tacky wedding and zoomed in on unnecessary symbolism and then spent barely 30 minutes in Vietnam which was (in my opinion) the most imp...( read more)

June 22, 2008It has been over 13 years since I have first laid eyes on this film ( a whopping old age of 10 I was!) and to this day and beyond no other movie breaks down my emotionless barrier unlike The Deer Hunter. For myself this film was the stepping stone to great cinema. I am a life lon...( read more)
