The Deer Hunter Reviews and Ratings

-
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)
-
June 12, 2008Jesus, where should i even begin. This movie runs on a bit, but it contains probably the best combination of acting and pure horror of vietnam i've ever seen.
-
June 7, 2008The Deer Hunter is a very realistic portrayal of the Vietnam war and what it brought to its veterans. Michael Cimino's best film, in my opinion. Deserving the Oscars it got. Christopher Walken is amazing in this film, his scenes were portrayed to cause terror to the audien...( read more)

June 5, 2008classic...realistic..tense...great acting by all..including deniro, walken.streep..movie is a downer but very effective at delivering its message without hitting you over the head

-
June 5, 2008Shocking story with the perfect cast from the golden times of war cinema. Classic russian roullete scene will always haunt mankind...
-
June 3, 2008Good Lord,How excellent is this movie!!??. I remembered things about half way through it and realized I had watched this as a child.HELLO.WTF were my parents think9ing?Anyway such a tremendous cast.God I love Christopher Walken,he is just smooth as hell,and dammmm diddy damm De N...( read more)

June 3, 2008thanks to the library copy of the DVD SKIPPING LIKE A MOTHER F***ER...I didn't catch the last 20 mins...still, I knew this was a great movie...and it is.
-
June 1, 2008Même s'il est aisé de reconnaître que The Deer Hunter n'est pas un mauvais film, j'ai de la difficulté à comprendre pourquoi est-ce qu'il devrait être considéré comme l'un des meilleurs classiques du cinéma. Deniro est certes incroyablement brillant, mais le script présente plusi...( read more)

May 16, 2008This is a great movie and another one of my favorite De Niro performances.It's a story about friendship,a really good film that one 5 academy awards,a must see!
-
May 12, 2008By far one of the best war films that I've ever seen. If I were to rank the 100 best films ever made, this would probably land somewhere around 50. It's that great. Every single actor is fantastic, but the standouts are Meryl Streep, Robert DeNiro, and Christopher Walken. Michael...( read more)

May 12, 2008Review will be written when/if re-watched (Probability: Low).
First viewing: 15.05.1997 -

April 28, 2008There's many appropriate words for this: Strong, gripping, powerful and so on.
One of De Niro's best parts and Walken is great as always. I must say it was worth the Oscars it got. -
April 26, 2008The acting was awesome, but for me it was too slow and the main story line was not very good. The situation side was done very well, how peoples lives changed because of a war was very deep and dramatic.

April 20, 2008This movie was gut wrenching. I'm really glad this movie wasn't ruined for me. Going in without any spoilers made it so much more enriching. The russian roullete sequences are intense. And the violence is very realistic. This movie is great in it's portrayal of the war and ...( read more)

April 19, 2008With all the hype and awards surrounding this movie, I expected a lot more. It is a very slow moving film, split into three parts. 1. Before the war 2. Vietnam war 3. After the war.
It deals heavily with the psychological aspect of warfare. However, it is not done as well as "A...( read more) -
April 18, 2008I think I got the idea with one Russian Roulette sequence. Really, what new material are you covering with multiple Russian Roulette sequences?
Apparently, Russian Roulette is rarely ever found in Vietnam whic means that some writer thought that scene would be badass. That'...( read more) -
-
April 16, 2008Christopher Walken's portrayal of Nick Chevotarevich - especially towards the end of the film - is one of the finest acting performances I have ever seen, even going as far as overshadowing legendary Robert de Niro, the late John Cazale and the tremendous Meryl Streep. The sound ...( read more)

April 13, 2008long movie with slow pace, but magnificent actor work makes it interesting. the start felt too slow for me, but russian roulette scenes were so well made they hurt to watch.
-
April 12, 2008Probably the most complete movie I've ever seen. Rich character development and stunning performances by everyone involved. Streep+De Niro= Chem 101
-
April 12, 2008i cried watching this movie and i never cry but this movie o gosh i just blew me away. robert de niro and christopher walken, execelent performance
