Kubrick is God!

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2001)

Full Metal Jacket is by far the best Vietnam war movie ever. I always thought "Platoon" was the best Vietnam war movie, until I saw Full Metal Jacket.
The Boot Camp scenes at the start of the movie are brilliant, some scenes are funny but others are tragically sad.
I wouldn't say the battle scenes are the best I've seen, compared to todays war movies like "Saving Private Ryan" but the overall structure and cast of the movie make it a true classic.
8/10
