Editorial Reviews

The Green Berets is an exciting war film that was lambasted by critics who at the time of its release opposed the war in Vietnam. Wayne's role is similar to his part in The Longest Day (1963), but it was evident to the worldwide public that the same bravado that flew well in World War II crash-landed in 1968 in the wake of a very different war and political time. Wayne plays the hard-nosed rough-and-ready Colonel Mike Kirby who heads a courageous bunch of tough-as-nails Green Berets determined to capture an important enemy general. They are accompanied by a skeptical reporter who soon becomes a gung-ho red-white-and-blue patriot as the Colonel and the others lecture and show him why they must defeat the "commies." Interestingly, despite the massive anti-war sentiments of the times, the film grossed over $11 million at the box-office and is especially notable for the fine battle scenes. The film also features the hit song "Ballad of the Green Berets," sung by Sgt. Barry Sadler. Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

January 04, 2005: Yes, this movies was for the most part a propaganda film for the vietnam war, but for what it was it sure was great. Showing the different weapons the army used at the time, and the tactics of the VC. Sgt. Peterson was an entertaining character and showed the scrounging that many army units do at the time of war (and even during peacetime) when compared to Platoon or apocolypse now, movies that portray the vietnam vet as a drugged out murdering psychopath, 'Green Berets' is a #1 movie.
