Apocalypse Now Redux - 7/10
I had never seen the original, so I guess I couldn't say much as to the added scenes, but overall, the movie was way to long, grinding to a halt at the French Plantation. I understand that for psychological effect, the trip up the river has to feel long and boring, but at times it was, well, long and boring.
Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando were great, as was Robert Duvall as Kilgore. A super young Laurence Fishburne was also good.
I never like the book "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad, so I'm not surprised that a movie based on it didn't rank up there in my top movies of all time.
