Is this worth a watch?
Nah it's boring as fuck. Had more meaning 30 years ago.

Just watch the Russian Roulette scene on YouTube and save yourself from 86 minutes of snoozeville.
I thought it was going to be some great 'Nam film, but was sorely dissapointed.
It has some great scenes, but doesn't work at all as a movie. It drags itself for way too long, the direction is all over the place, most characters have no motivation, most scenes have no reason to be as long as they are or to even exist.
Some actual good editing would do wonders to this movie.
skip it and watch his magnum opus instead

don't listen to these redditors, the movie is great.
Yeah. Great film. Explores the effects of war on the general population both before and after they return.
it's essential women-will-never-understand-core

You're a retard.
Wedding scene is amazing. Rest of the film is okay but the themes explored were done better elsewhere.

It's a fantastic movie and you should definitely give it a watch.
It has one of the greatest scenes of all time, but it's pacing is awful.

yeah, i agree with a lot of this but still found the film to be a masterpiece. the pacing is awkward but kind of like in a Faulkner way that is in itself jarring and unsettling than actual bad editing. Cimino really went haywire after this and Heaven's Gate. he never really recovered and produced diminishing returns since. however, i'd still like to see him direct one more sprawling film just to see the results.

Skip the wedding.
It's a good movie, but the director had an overblown ego.
