Full Metal Jacket has become synonymous with the word "classic," it deserves it. The camera angles, the music, the characters, and the infamous "sucky-sucky/me love you long time" scene make its dwindling (after the first act) plot. I'll say it again - the movie isn't as good after the recruitment act, and when you watch it you feel like after Pyle is gone, the whole movie becomes less... engaging. If you're looking for a war satire, with themes that transcend the time period it depicts, then you owe it to yourself. You will laugh, you will be thrilled, and you will be entertained (for the most part).

If you still don't think that Stanley Kubrick is among the greatest directors of all time, I command you to go see this and say that again. It 's amazing how gracefully this movie has aged.

There are a couple of movies that competes about being the best vietnam movie, they are: Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Deer Hunter and Full Metal Jacket. Stanley Kubricks film is wonderful, he is one of the best, if not the best director of all time....

There are a couple of movies that competes about being the best vietnam movie, they are: Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Deer Hunter and Full Metal Jacket. Stanley Kubricks film is wonderful, he is one of the best, if not the best director of all time. Full Metal Jacket has two parts: The first is in the training place, and that part is hilarious, but allso serious. The second part of the movie is about the same soldiers, but in the war. I prefer the first, only that one would have gotten another half star, but the second part of the movie makes the rating a little lower, still it´s a great movie.

Every single camere view is made with such care...Kubrick in his most delicate movie. A single "must see" film. Just Perfect.
