Not counting his iconic themes for such blockbusters as Star Wars and Jaws, this might feature John Williams' best music score to date.

Born on the Fourth of July is...the most ambitious nondocumentary film yet made about the entire Vietnam experience.
December 21, 2008
Not the sort of movie you actually enjoy, but its thought-provoking subject matter and haunting images are not easily forgotten.

Stone has found in Cruise the ideal actor to anchor the movie with simplicity and strength.

...a tale of American masculinity undone.

Tom Cruise, who takes Kovic from clean-cut eager teen to impassioned long-haired activist, is stunning.

An exceptional feature on every level of execution, also displaying a rare sensitivity to Stone that he would spend the rest of his career trying to bury in violence and experimentation.

This is an impassioned movie, made with conviction and evangelical verve. It's also hysterical and overbearing and alienating.

Unflinching story of Vietnam vet turned activist.

A compelling, elegiac film, particularly encouraging after the simplified morality of Platoon.

Stone has created a film whose overblown parts add up to far less than the epic whole he had in mind.
