Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Realjaytheboom — 08 Mar 2022

Full Metal Jacket: Just a first this is my opinion only don’t come after me and kill me. Ok now I’m going to say it right now I had high hopes for this movie saying it was a masterpiece and that R Lee Ermey’s performance is amazing, well THEY GOT HALF OF THAT RIGHT.

The part they got right was R Lee Ermey’s performance because oh my god, starting at the 2 minute mark until the 45 minute mark this movie was a masterpiece and it was all because of him, I know it wasn’t supposed to be funny but it is because the **** that comes out of his mouth is crazy.

If you want to really know just look up the first 6 minutes of the film. Now after that the film just nose dives in quality big time. First of all it’s when after a scene that is supposed to be dramatic and stuff when they cut to the next scene the people making the movie decide to put happy fun time music, WHY and it’s not just one time it happens multiple times and it’s not like they don’t have sad music, because at the end they play sad music and at that scene you actually feel the emotion of the scene like your supposed to.

But that doesn’t matter when most of the scenes just drag I even went in my head and said out loud that is when they should have started the scene that’s when they should have cut the scene, but no they make it go on and on with characters I don’t care for.

Overall I had so much hype for this movie but it ended up being bad, if it wasn’t for R Lee Ermey’s performance I would have given this movie a toilet paper rating but I’m not. Ranking Bad.
