Full Metal Jacket

I just had to watch FMJ after joining the Marine Corps. I figured it was about time I saw it since I had been meaning to for so long. But although it is praised by Marines for its greatness I have to say that it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Call me a blasphemer, but I won't find myself yearning to re-watch it again anytime soon. Still, FMJ was an awesome movie and one I won't forget.

(WARNING: Spoiler Alert!)This is the definition of a timless classic about war. R Lee Ermey steal's the whole movie! His performance & his dialogue is aggressively top-notch! The acting by the whole cast is strong & brilliantly directed! & It has the dialogue i've ever heard in a movie. There are also some funny moments too. But my main issue with this film is that there isn't much plot to this film, the soilders are being trained, singing funny dumb war marine songs, fighting for their lives & for some reason it almost feels like a documentary. & to double that: there is a slow-paced scene where private joker killed the sniper at the end of the film. But overall i'm one of those people that love this classic film. Thumbs up for sure.

Two movies for price of one the best Marine Corps boot camp movie of all time but the war part of the movie not the best. Don't get me wrong it is still good but it is the reason I can't give this 5 stars.
