CodyZamboni Z @CodyZamboni 4d Movie is brutal, With in- your- face carnage battle scenes, Highly gritty and realistic, And it doesn't shy away from depicting racial tensions, Drives home the insanity of going up and down the hill over 10 days, But not as good as Platoon, As the characters didn't really connect with me on a deeper level, See more Alec B @AlecMichaelB Apr 28 Typically not the kind of film I gravitate toward, but Hamburger Hill is difficult to dismiss. It delivers a stark, unvarnished portrayal of one of the Vietnam War’s most punishing battles, refusing to soften either the violence or the emotional toll. What stands out most is its attention to the soldiers themselves: their fear, exhaustion, and quiet moments of vulnerability, alongside the relentless physical strain of combat. The film also doesn’t shy away from the racial tensions within the ranks, adding another layer that underscores how fractured and human these young men were, even as they fought side by side. One of the greatest war stories I've seen portrayed on film. So much so that you feel as though you were watching a documentary in some scenes, instead of an epic war historical fiction.

Not up at the top with movies like Saving private Ryan and Thin red line but one of the top Vietnam movies. I personally think it's better than Platoon. The exhaustion, brutality are palpable. They did a good job of making getting up that hill look like pure misery. See more A P. @FilmFan4547 Dec 18 Visceral, brilliant war film overshadowed by Stone’s Platoon. Definitely the better of the two films in both its production and grit. Keep in mind, Willem Dafoe had to pretend he was being shot in Platoon, because the squibs weren’t exploding on his body. He even had the remote that controlled the squibs in his hand during the scene. Amateurish effort in comparison to Hamburger Hill. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 19 Dang. Perfect 100. I think this is a lesser known one in the genre, but a worthy watch. See more Read all reviews
