Great movie. Being a Jarhead I am a little biased though.
The visuals were amazing. As dreary and gloomy as it was,the only way I could describe the burning oil fields is beautiful. I love the fact that hand held cameras were used, they gave the movie a more realistic feel.
A lot of people told me they we disappointed b/c there "wasn't much action" but that's not what the movie was about. "Jarhead" is kind of slow, but then again so was the war. It did an excellent job of showing Marines(don't ever call us soldiers) in the field.
Semper Fi.
