I enjoyed this movie a great deal

Rating: 9/10 (11 July 2000)

Full Metal Jacket is one my favorite Stanley Kubrick movies. I can't get enough of the intense boot camp for the first half of the movie. From beginning to end this part is just an excellent piece of film. However, because the first half was so intense and entertaining the second half just didn't follow it very well. I still enjoy the second half, just not nearly as much as the first half. Thus leaving me with a somewhat disappointed feeling after watching it. Even so, this movie is still a classic. This movie gets a 9/10 from me.
