AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
nickross-30200 Stanley Kubrick was already a legend when he made Full Metal Jacket- a war movie. The film is divided into two parts. The first focuses on a bunch of new recruits in boot camp and the other takes place smack in the middle of a warzone. Full of images that stick in mind and some great use of music Full Metal Jacket is Kubrick through and through. From the long takes to the nihilistic overtones there is a stamp of authority of the master filmmaker. The acting, as is the case with every Kubrick film is sublime especially Mathew Modine and Vincent D' Onofrio. If you want to see an auteur at work Full Metal Jacket is a film you should check out.
cinephile-27690 This movie is iconic for the sergeant's rants but that's the main good thing about the movie. Roger Ebert felt the same way. The 2nd half is not as interesting and should have been left out. What's wrong with 75 or so minutes of awesome rants? Either way, this is a really good movie and I do recommend it!
shulthise Kept hearing about this movie, people said I should watch it. I can say I am fairly disappointed. The obvious comparison is to Platoon, which was a lot better at the time in every aspect, and years after still holds better against this pretentious movie.I felt the same disappointment watching The Thin Red Line and Dunkirk - both were overly praised but empty - no narrative, no tension, and almost no character to empathize with.
Imran Ahmed Full Metal Jacket exposes the futility of war - more relevant than ever for the world today given the incessant wars being fought by the US around the world as I write this review. The movie adds a human touch to a war essentially fought in the Cold War chessboard of the 1960s and 1970s. The movie humanizes the suffering of death and raises legitimate questions about the purpose of the war; or indeed most wars. Living in Southeast Asia and having visited Vietnam several times the movie helps to understand one of the darkest periods in the region's history. No doubt, there were many silent global supporters of the war but still one recognizes the burden of history which contemporary Vietnamese are attempting to shed.The movie is a must watch fictional recreation for anyone interested in understanding the human aspect of war. Stanley Kubrick is a master film maker and Full Metal Jacket will not disappoint even the harshest of Kubrick's critics.
