Summary: Stanley Kubrick has done it again
Review: Imagine a cross between A clockwork orange and platoon.You get Full metal jacket,the epic war movie abought the 1968 tet offensive.Matthew Modine plays Private Joker,a marine,who we follow through marine training with the "real" drill sergents because they were allowed to whack you around.We also see Modine in the Tet offensive. Still,FMJ is a Kubrick picure: a look at places people just dont want to go to.

Summary: Not the best, but it is a classic in its own way
Review: Full Metal Jacket is an absorbing film that has basically no plot except for the fact it takes place during the Vietnam War. Its probably the lack of plot that made this movie good and bad. The boot camp sequence in the first half of the movie is certainly the best. The scene where Vincent D'onofrio is beat by the other members of his platoon by soap wrapped in cloth is disturbing. I've read many criticisms of the second half. I will say that it is a bit slow but the scene where the platoon is being gunned down by one sniper shows the realism of war. The main problem this film suffers from is the fact that it ended so abruptly. Stanley Kubrick is a great director but it seemed like he ran fresh out of ideas towards the end. I was hoping for more only because the movie was very compelling. Another problem is that the movie labels itself an anti-war movie but we have no feeling for the characters therefore we never feel sorry they're dead. Sure, when the platoon is being shot by the sniper, the scene was powerful but it's hard to care who survives if we don't know anything about them. Compared to other anti-war movies, Full Metal Jacket is nowhere in the league of Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan or even Oliver Stone's Platoon. It was better than The Deer Hunter and was at least equal to or better than Apocalypse Now. I certainly would recommend Full Metal Jacket to anybody who enjoys war films.

Summary: Brilliant but flawed, still a kubrick movie.
Review: An interesting kubrick war movie! Although I feel the 'Paths of Glory' earlier war classic is better because the theme there is universal this Vietnam movie is a classic and definitely worth having and seeing. The sense one gets is that kubrick is an angry director in this production. Angry at what? The U.S.? War? I cannot really put my finger on it. There is a lot of swearing with the bad taste evident at times. An excellent first half brilliantly thought out. Some brilliant war scenes in the second half probably not found in any other similar movie. There are flaws in the script however especially in the second half. The interviews are out of place. The introspection over the dead or dying again out of place. The Mickey Mouse march at the end makes too obvious a statement. Despite all this I give the movie a five because it is kubrick, because he shot all this in England and because despite the let down kubrick makes you think.

Summary: "Full Metal Jacket" = terrible
Review: There's a lot to be said about Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war film "Full Metal Jacket." "Full Metal Jacket" lacks any kind of form or structure fond in my favorites "Apocolypse Now," "Casualties of War," or "The Deer Hunter." "Full Metal Jacket" tries to make up for it's flimsy plot with trite attempts at comic relief and poorly, unfunny one-liners. The acting, with the exception of Vincent D'Onofrio and R.Lee Erney, is robotic and even stale. Kubrick is a fantastic director and "Full Metal Jacket" does have a few neat shots, but too many times does Kubrick recycle the same camera angle or movement. This was one of those movies that I was looking foward to seeing and then when I finally saw it, I waited two hours for it to get better or go somewhere, and it never did.

Summary: One of the best war movies ever
Review: Full Metal Jacket lets you open your eyes to the experiences of marines. Any fan of war movies must see this movie. The acting is superb and tells a in depth story. The action might not be Saving Private Ryan but is worth your while and Stanley Kubrick had outdone himself truly

Summary: "Full Metal Jacket:" Objectionably over rated!
Review: "Full Metal Jacket" is a very marginal film, if anything. It has been hailed by many as a masterpiece, but I beg to differ. Other than Vincent D'Onofrio's performance as "Gomer Pyle," the film is average, not half as good as other Vietnam classics such as "Deer Hunter," "Coming Home," or "Platoon." It has no solid or stable form, it's nothing more than a series of events related to the Vietnam War. It's eposidic and over repeditive at times. Director Stanley Kubrick is capable of creating a masterpiece, "Full Metal Jacket," however, is no masterpiece.

Summary: It's no Saving Private Ryan but...
Review: Althiugh it may not be as good as Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket is far and away the best vietnam movie ever made. The direction by Stanley Kubrick is masterful, and gives the audience a glimpse into the horrors of war, especially boot camp and basic training. Warning: some may be offended by the few hundred obsenities that pass for dialogue in this movie. Definetely a war classic, buy or rent it today!

Summary: Nothing Special Here
Review: Not one of Kubrick's best; just lots of shooting and swearing. This film is way too overrated to be called the best war film of all time. However, it does do a pretty good job on depicting what it was like to live under a drill sergeant and the feeing of killing the enemies. However, this film is not historically accurate enough and too violent. It was obvious from this that when Kubrick had reached the end of his directing career, he didn't care about what the books said, and just wanted to get some viewers, knowing much youth likes violence and would pay for that. I never had a taste for his war pictures. Mr. Kubrick should have stayed with making spoofs (like Dr. Strangelove), science fiction epics (like 2001), or even films from classic authors such as William Thakaray Makepeace (like Barry Lyndon).
