Dreadfully Boring

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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 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.

This movie is based on the true story of an US Air Force man transferred from Crete to Vietnam in 1965 to be the new DJ of the US Army radio station, and when he goes on the air for the first time, he refuses to follow the dull format of the previous DJ or play the dull music that had been played. In the movie, the new DJ is in fact encouraged by his fellow enlisted soldiers to play contemporary pop music from Motown and The Beach Boys and engage in rapid-fire comedy patter. Various military people all laugh at the new DJ's verbal antics, but as might be expected, the military higher-ups are not pleased with the new DJ's irreverent program.A good potential idea, but poorly utilized. Robin Williams' routine was reportedly ad-libbed, but his comedy routine failed to be funny. The soldiers are all shown laughing, but one gets the idea that they do so because that is what they were hired to do. Rapid-fire comedy and silly verbal antics can be hilarious, but Williams was simply dull and boring, as if he wasn't sure exactly what he was supposed to do. I didn't bother to finish the film; what I saw of it shouted that it was going to be standard and clichéd, and what good is it to watch a comedian who is not funny?I wonder what the real-life DJ was like. He certainly must have been funnier.

Good Morning Vietnam is stolen by the Oscar worthy performance of Robbin Williams. With possibly the best soundtrack, second to that of The Big Chill's, Good Morning Vietnam also shows the absurdity of war, especially the Vietnam War, and the bizarre schedule and corruption of the U.S. Army and their agendas. Brutally captivating and hilariously funny, Good Morning Vietnam will get some giggling but most will be in hysterics. Gorgeous film made with such passion and love. Whilst some of the elements may be tediously unnecessary, the majority of the film is a fantastic Comedy Drama which will have your eyes glued to the screen and your stomach in stitches.
