Just finished Deer hunter for the first time and it's safe to say its easily one of my favourite films looking at the effects of the Vietnam War. I really enjoyed the tension created from that first roullete sequence and everytime it happened after it just felt more and more tense. Ive not stopped thinking about it since viewing it. I may be brave in saying this, but i could have happily watched another 3 hours xd. Do you guys have any suggestion of movies that explore the physological side like this one did? What was your opinion on the film? 7/10 for me. Thanks for reading !

Just finished my first watch today, and overall I’d say this film is pretty solid. It definitely has some big strengths, but sadly it didn’t quite scratch the same itch as a few of the originals. That said, it’s definitely not a disrespectful or lazy continuation of the series. You can tell they attempted to capture that Sigourney-style character and atmosphere, which I can definitely appreciate.

I think the cinematography and effects are probably its biggest strengths. Still, it felt like something was missing, and I was hoping some of you might have the answer for what that was. It’s like the issue was hiding in plain sight for me xd.

To put the cherry on the cake, i found Bjorn to be incredibly annoying, but from research ive seen it was meant to be that way so kudos to him. (Im sure he's a top bloke)

Thanks for reading and let me know what you think it was that didnt tick the box for me. Cheers !
