Rating:  - If this is hilarious then I must have lost my humour chip
After reading the reviews and watching the trailer to this film I decided that it was worth picking up, I could only watch the first 62 minutes.
I found this slow, low on humour and knew that I could not out up with another 50 minutes so decided to cut my losses and eject it from my DVD player forever.
It does have some good bits in the film, the best characters for me were Radar and Donald Sutherland's character too, they were the only people to really stand out for me, ... Read More
Rating:  - Mash stands the test of time
This film came out around the year I got married 1970 and after all the years still is fantastic to watch and enjoy just like my wife.
Picture quality is very good compared to the VHS video that I have had for some years. The extra disc on the two disc version is well worth the little bit extra that it costs as there are some good features on it.
Great value for money for so much fun. If I am around in another thirty years I am sure I will still be watching it.
Rating:  - Timeless
It was wonderful seeing this film again after 37 years; a break from the mindless tedium of gratuitous blood and violence, brain-splitting noise, and endless shots of the poor man's opiate - political correctness that so often passes for entertainment today. Modern audiences will not likely identify as strongly as they did then. Today, the US has an all volunteer Army and not the same feelings related to going to war because you're told to. But it has the timeless quality of the human spirit in interesting ... Read More
Rating: - Brilliant black comedy
If you are only familiar with the TV version of M.A.S.H., you will find the film very different but very funny. Donald Sutherland (Hawkeye) and Elliott Gould (Trapper)are both brilliant as the crazy surgeons trying to keep sane amidst the chaos of war. The humour of the film is much blacker than the Tv series, of the movie cast only Gary Burghoff (Radar O'Reilly) went on to star in the TV version. These days I find I prefer Donald Sutherland's Hawkeye, Alan Alda's relentless niceness gets on my nerves a bit. ... Read More
Rating: - War - what is it good for?
I usually confine my comments to the standard of the film, but in this case the quality of restoration deserves a mention, as do the extras provided on the DVD. Unusually, these are well worth having and add to the enjoyment of the main feature.
M.A.S.H. is probably best known nowadays for having spawned the classic TV sitcom starring Alan Alda but more an ensemble creation of well-loved characters. A number of these appear in the original film, though it was originally intended as a star vehicle for ... Read More
