Leave your thoughts about The Green Berets.
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyDespised by liberals in its day, The Green Berets isn't nearly as bad as its reputation. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrJohn Wayne fans - particularly the fans of his war films - will like this movie for the chance to see him mix it up with heavy artillery. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyOne of the first movies about Vietnam is also one of the weakest and most preposterous right-wing agit-prop |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIf you liked this film, you're probably also thrilled with W's Iraqi war. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...politics aside, the film is simply overlong and boring, which are among the greatest sins any movie can commit. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Green Berets simply will not do as a film about the war in Vietnam. It is offensive not only to those who oppose American policy but even to those who support it. |
| User ReviewGraeme Wone of the best war movies ever. move over platoon. |
| User ReviewElliot Wit was a great movie and showed John Wayne's patriotism, on a war that no one supported, it could have hurt his career, but he took it and supported his country |
| User ReviewChristina BThis is truly one of John Wayne's best films. A truely great actor. |
