Review title: Review: Oliver Stone's Platoon
Product review: I like Tom Berringer but not the ridiculous character Stone had him portray in this movie. Charlie Sheen's acting was amateurish at best but, what more could you expect from him. All of the characters were ridiculous caricatures of infantrymen in Vietnam. As a Vietnam combat veteran I found Stone's portrayal of day-to-day life in a combat unit to be insulting and degrading to any veteran who saw combat in that war.The movie may portray Stone's hallucination of Vietnam but it was not the Vietnam I or most combat vets remember. The battle scenes were unrealistic and overdone. It fell WAY short of delivering even a slightly realistic portrayal of combat in the Vietnam War.Overall, I rate the movie as awful and pathetic. If there was a way to give it NO stars, that's where I would rate this turkey.
