The movie 100%.
Classic, timeless, artisanal, refreshing. An instant cultural hit that will no doubt be remembered throughout the years for it's daring cinematic risks and breakthroughs. The Platoon of our day and age if you will. I cannot say anything of ill will about the movie as I simply believe it to be flawless. It has something to offer for everybody.
The show however, attempted to ride the wave of success and glory that the movie had spurred. Though as a critic, I cannot help but believe that it fell short of what was promised to be an equally, if not better rendition of the movie told in a series. It did what we dearly hoped it wouldn't, with it cultivating a shallow feeling in the viewers mind throughout the show. As the audience is left to continuously hope that the next episode will begin to lead the series in a direction in which it matures *wink* into something great enough to fill the shoes of the movie. Baldwins back can only hold so much weight.
