Duvall was shot from below a lot to make him appear larger than life. This

ludicrous figure is shown as "heroic," I don't know how else to describe it.
A ridiculous performance, a silly scene ("I love the smell of Napalm in the morning," indeed...).
Sheen is a tv performer. That's about it. Name any other role of his (teenage killer? c'mon...) in which he shines.
Hopper is a B-grade actor.
A cast of second-raters, with Brando as the exception.
Since you're sjb, I'll expend the effort:
Coppola manipulates the audience. Yes, Sheen is a cold-blooded assassin, but what's his target? Yeah, a guy who's supposed to be even worse, a mass murderer. So... in this strange moral universe, he's almost a good guy. Yeah, the Americans are good! We're rescuing the locals from a maniac! Whoopee.
At least John Wayne's "Green Beret" had the guts to take a stand.
Coppola is hypocritical.
His moral stance in The Godfather isn't better, either.
He's an amoral pig.
