Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Anyone who fought in Vietnam can tell you that the war bore little resemblance to this propagandistic action film starring and codirected by John Wayne. But the film itself is not nearly as bad as its reputation would suggest; critics roasted its gung-ho politics while ignoring its merits as an exciting (if rather conventional and idealistic) war movie. Some notorious mistakes were made--in the final shot, the sun sets in the east!--and it's an awkward attempt to graft WWII heroics onto the Vietnam experience. But as the Duke's attempt to acknowledge the men who were fighting and dying overseas, it's a rousing film in which Wayne commands a regiment on a mission to kidnap a Viet Cong general. David Janssen plays a journalist who learns to understand Wayne's commitment to battling Communism, and Jim Hutton (Timothy's dad) plays an ill-fated soldier who adopts a Vietnamese orphan. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Vietnam movie for the whole family
Something for everybody, not too bloody & the language not very offensive.
This is a DVD that you turn over & play both sides, which wasn't very well marked. We thought there was something wrong with it when Side 1 stopped quite unexpectidly. Good movie though, you can't beat John Wayne!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Green Berets
I have always loved this movie. I am especially partial to this movie, because I am a John Wayne fan, & also a Jim Hutton fan.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very Cool Movie
I remember as a child watching this movie with my father, and hearing him describe his time with John Wayne as they filmed this movie during his stint at Fort Benning.

This was the first feature film done not only during the Vietnam War, but one sanctioned by the Department of Defense. It was, according to my father who served two tours of duty in 'Nam, very realistic for the time.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - short play
Very diappointed. I received the movie in a good time period but the movie would not play in its entirety. A replacement was quickly sent but the same issue occurred. I even tried the movie in multiple dvd players. Both movies were returned. I still have not received a working movie or verification that one was sent. Judgeing from the emails I have received from Amazon they have no record of receiving either movie back. Also no email or phone number on the web site, this is not good business ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Faulty CD
I enjoy watching war movies. This movie is great. I've purchased The Green Berets twice from Amazon and both times the disc went blank part way through the movie. I thought that it may be my dvd player but after restarting the movie, the same problem would occur. It appears that Amazon received a supply of faulty discs.

As to the movie itself I would give it a 5 star rating. However, due to the receipt of faulty discs twice, I must rate it one star and recommend that The Green Berets ... Read More
