Full Metal Jacket

Rating:
Summary: Great Kubrick! GREAT!
Review: This is an unbelivable film! And it's three reasons: Vincent D'Onofrio's great acting as Pyle, Kubrick's great directing and the FILM it self. Must see!

Summary: Took me back to PI.
Review: Best movie I ever saw on what Marine boot camp is all about, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Enjoyed it!

Rating:
Summary: disappointing
Review: I was sadly disappointed by this film. The acting was weak, the scenes predictable, and the soundtrack disappointing. For a "shorter" movie, I found this painfully long and simplistic. "Deer Hunter" is time much better spent.

Rating:
Summary: A riveting expierence, Typical Kubrick Masterpiece.
Review: A very good repersentation of Vietnamese combat. Kubrick added all of his magic to make this one of the best damn movies I have ever seen.

Rating:
Summary: Best "Vietnam War " movie
Review: Full Metal will outsurvive Apocalypse Now as the cinematic treatise to American involvement in Vietnam. Stanley, we miss you, but your work survives, the greatest of all time.

Review: Greatest War movie of the 80's. Sgt. Hartman was truly what a D.I. is supposed to be.

Rating:
Summary: The best war movie ever made
Review: Even newer movies like Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line pale in comparison with Full Metal Jacket. This is the ultimate tale of war. It doesn't try to glorify soldiers as heroes as many movies do, but it shows them as killing machines. It has some of the greatest one-liners you will ever hear in a movie, and is very well acted. It makes NO compromises, so be warned: it is very violent and disturbing if you're not used to that sort of thing. It does, however, paint a vivid picture of what the army is like.

Rating:
Summary: an excellent movie poorly transfered to DVD
Review: This movie remains one of a kind ( much like that little war in Viet Nam ) and is an excellent work by Kubrick. Serious movie buffs should boycott the film however until the studio wakes up and presents this film in it's original aspect ratio.
