Pointless Tripe

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2006)

Watched Jarhead last night. Biggest load of boring, pointless tripe I've seen in a long time. Jake Gillingham's ugly, lumpy face looking blankly at stuff while his voice over goes 'I'm going a bit mental by the way' every 5 minutes. His character was a total idiot and so was everyone else in the film. Bunch of idiots in the desert doing nothing, talking about masturbation and how bored they are. Not half as bored as I was watching the rubbish.
Moral of the story: War's not that good, a bit boring, not much to do but masturbate.
GREAT!
Plus, all the bits where Mendes tries to pay homage to Full Metal Jacket were the most pathetic scenes I've ever seen. 'Can't think of what to do here so I'll just copy Kubrik and say it was a homage'!
That's my review. Watch this film if you must but I have warned you. Please Hollywood, stop giving Sam Mendes money! His films are terrible.
