Rating:  - innovative -ingenious intelligent war epic
the most influential and seminal work to come out of hollywood on modern day warfare .
it is both stunning and philosophical with a very pluralistic look at the vietnam conflict where it has no sentimental observations about the victims but just a non chalant attitude to the protagonists who are involved in war as a casual everyday necessity.
it is neither patronising nor glorifying just seeking to express the perceived truth from the makers viewpoint and it reaches a celestial height ... Read More
Rating: - Fine film, with a superb performance
I've finally got around to watching this film, the first 45 minutes were excellent, this covered the training of the recruits who were being prepared for their stints in Vietnam, this concentrated on 2 characters in particular, Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R Lee Ermey), both put in fine performances, especially R Le Ermey who's in superb form, in a way it comes across as more a comedy than anything else during this time, but there's no harm in that. ...

Rating:  - Very Poor War Movie
I found this film terribly boring/. The majority of the film is about the units training at the barracks..... I found nothing interesting or entertaining about this part.

These are just my opinions and i realise that many people dissagree, but if you are wanting a war ... Read More
Rating:  - good/bad
Full metal jacket is another of a fairly long list of vietam war movies of the mid to late 80s,and it is very highly rated,some say it is the best of them all,certainly director kubrick gives the film something that few can rival but this is a film split in two and the second half is pretty average and at times very poor,the first half and we all agree on this is masterful,comical,cruel,brutal,raw and appears to be very real looking and sounding from what i understand.
The first half deals with the ... Read More
Rating: - Pedestrian recruits-into-soldiers film
Despite the presence of the outstanding Michael Herr in the writing team, this is one of Kubrick's least satisfactory films. The two halves -- recruits training and Tet Offensive warfare -- are linked only by a couple of soldiers. The ending (the killing of a female Viet Cong sniper) is inconclusive. The ubiquitous palm trees look artificial throughout the battle scenes, as indeed they were, stuck onto the concrete of London Docklands.
This never feels like Vietnam. 'Apocalypse Now' did that ... Read More
