I hate this movie it's so boring. The only good part is the action in Nam. The ending sucks!Andy (10 out of 10 )
This movie is perfect, even the boring bits are important to understanding it. The performances by Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken are nothing short of incredible.Gregory (10 out of 10 )

Amazing movie. If you didn't like it, watch it again and try to see the deeper meaning.Sam (9 out of 10 )
Hey Mr I Hate This Movie, maybe you thought it was boring because you didn't understand it. You don't have any brain cells do you! This movie is great and is worth watching, don't listen to him.Dean (10 out of 10 )
I loved this movie and the storyline. I have yet to find a copy of the actual re-written script by Cimino that was used in the film. Does anyone know where to find one. Washburn's original script actually has the characters of Nick and Michael flip flopped and the ending is quite different as well.Shaun (10 out of 10 )
The best film ever made. DeNiro was phenomenal, not quite as good as he was in Taxi Driver, but damn close. But by far, Christopher Walken did the best acting ever done, ever. His transformation was incredible. How the Russian Roulette situation changed him mentally forever. Walken's last scene where he killed himself, and the exchange of words and the visuals between him and DeNiro was in my opinion the best scene ever done.Dale Cooper (10 out of 10 )
It's rather easy to label this movie as too long - specifically the beginning. If shortened, however, this film would be far from the same. As 'slow' as the start may seem in comparison to the Vietnam sequences, it's an essential setup - an elaborate painting of the lives of our characters - their families, their values, their culture, their friendship - all the things that the war tears to bits and pieces. Without them, all the latter scenes wouldn't have half the impact and "The Deer Hunter" would just be another war movie.

This movie had such a slow and pointless first hour. Most of this movie consisted mainly, of the building of what seemed a lifeless relationship between the main characters, of whom I found impossible to follow throughout the movie. This movie wasn't what everybody has said it was, it was dragged on and to sum it up, barely anything happened throughout the whole movie.
