Worst War Movie I've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2006)

Jarhead is without a doubt the worst war movie I've ever seen, possibly the worst movie period. I'm a veteran, and have a son in law currently in the Marine Corp. My wife's father is an Iwo Jima MC veteran. This movie was anti-American and anti-Marine Corp drivel, in addition to being a really badly made movie. I've enjoyed some anti-war movies such as Platoon and Apocalypse Now, as they were well made and entertaining movies, which Jarhead is neither. Other than being offended, I just could not get interested in it. The plot was really sophomoric. It portrayed the Marines as a bunch of unintelligent, partying, barbaric, fraternity types without a clue of their mission. The character development was weak, and the movie seemed very disjointed. I viewed it on someone else's DVD. I would really have been upset if I would have paid theater prices to see it.
