The Vietnam War is a cinematic experience designed specifically for film students who want to feel superior at dinner parties.

The Vietnam War: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than The Vietnam War.

Even the popcorn looked bored during The Vietnam War.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Vietnam War?

Just got out of The Vietnam War and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in The Vietnam War is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Everyone praising the The Vietnam War performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: The Vietnam War's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Honestly, The Vietnam War would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: The Vietnam War is the most overrated film of the decade

Look, I wanted to love The Vietnam War. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
