Such a frustrating disappointment
Strong and Moving!
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
For this role, Robin Williams was nominated for an Oscar and it's a shame he didn't get it. It's hard to say if this was the role of his career because he nailed literally every role he ever played and he was one of the best comedians and actors of all time. Beside this nomination, both Robin and Forest Whitaker got a bunch of other awards, completely deserved. In my opinion, this movie deserves to be considered one of the best movies in the history of cinema.10/10
Good Morning, Vietnam is a spectacular blend of uproarious comedy and emotional drama with an outstanding performance from Robin Williams. This shows us war first- hand and the horrors of witnessing it and comedy through radio broadcasts. This film lets us see Robbin Williams' cinematic gifts and how talented he is. The blend of these two genres is what makes the film so great and it's a non-stop journey throughout.
Hey guys, It's me Drewpicklesfan and guess what I saw? Good Morning, Vietnam! That's #100 on my list!! Alright, so what do I think of this movie? I got to say, It was very funny because I think personally that the radio scene was so hilarious and it's amazing! The part where Robin Williams does the Wizard of Oz quotes and references, It was really interesting. I also heard on the movie that one of the characters said what Marx brother, Zeppo, The guy with the hat? That was so hilarious, I liked it a lot!! That was my short review on Good Morning, Vietnam the next review is going to be on The Truman Show so I got 99 more to go!
Good Morning Vietnam is a masterpiece. It's funny, but at the same time shows the war from the eyes of our protagonist Airman First Class Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams). Cronauer is a military DJ sent to tell jokes and report the news in Vietnam. But as soon as he starts his superiors Lieutenant Steven Hauk (Bruno Kirby) and Sergeant Major Phillip Dickerson (JT Walsh) are angered at Cronauer's unorthodox music and off-color jokes. But the movie's best parts are the scenes where Cronauer does his job as a DJ. It's really funny. This is one of Williams's best performances. The acting from everyone else is also really good. Good Morning Vietnam is really just a great classic Williams comedy.
