Good, but really does drag on after boot camp.

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2011)

The boot camp stuff was great.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS Follow but I don't really give specifics on who.
Some of the stuff following it was alright and how the 3 or 4 guys that got shot at the end with the sniper was just stupid.
I understand the squad leader sucked and the squad had no respect for him but that was just ridiculous. One guy gets shot three times before one guy even heads out there. The second guy gets shot. And then a third guy goes out there. Luckily he is a little more intelligent. But that was just really stupid.
I had been told Full Metal Jacket Boot camp stuff was great before I watched the film and I had seen bits and pieces of it before actually watching the movie from beginning to end all the way through. My opinion, the movie overall is about a 7 as it is well acted and the boot camp stuff was great. But after that the movie just loses something and I felt like my time was being wasted. Watch the boot camp sequences and then turn it off after that.
