Customer Ratings & Reviews

Oliver Stone made famous by this movie and for good reason. Vietnam and the toll it took on our soldiers is brutally displayed on film. This movie is an eye opener. This stuff they don't tell you in history class nor should they because you should watch this film to see! Must see!

'Platoon' is a great war picture, it's not for everyone, but fans of the genre will most likely appreciate it. Not a movie most people will watch on a regular basis, but it's worth one viewing for sure. The dvd presentation is great and there are a lot of excellent bonus features including a couple of very good commentary tracks.

This is an excellent movie if you like war pictures. This fits in with the "Rambo," "Missing In Action," trilogies, and "Full Metal Jacket" which I own all of them. They just don't make 'em like these anymore. Pick this DVD up today as you won't be disappointed...

For many years I have enjoyed this excellent Vietnam war drama on the remastered 20th Anniversary Edition DVD (2006). This newer Blu-ray edition (2011) has significantly improved contrast, definition, and color balance. Well worth the upgrade!

Best of the Bunch of the Vietnam Movies that came out during that period. Better War movies since, but launched the careers of Defoe and his counter-part.

Platoon is the movie that put Oliver Dtone on the Map in Hollywood and it has never looked better.

this movie is the best Vietnam movie out yet. if you dont own this buy it and you wont be sorry
