Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Skylar E — 13 Jul 2016

Let me say, the first forty five minutes of this film, is some of my favorite bits of film in history. Cutting there and it would have been the absolute best short film ever made. Then the second half happens. Now it's not bad, the last ten minutes are just as griping as the first forty five, but I have never been too invested in the bits between then.

I still completely recommend this film to anyone who loves films and filmmaking, but that little bit is enough to keep me from giving it a higher place up there in the pantheon of cinema.
