Review of Full Metal Jacket (1987) by Jesse Z — 15 Jul 2013
Overall it was very entertaining to watch. The combat scenes were intense, and the training scenes were hilarious, but I found it paced very inconsistently and oddly. The battle scenes don't quite satisfy, we don't get to know a whole lot about the characters, and it sort of ends at a weird note.
However, the movie seems to be successful in doing what it's trying to do, and the first half of it is extremely funny. It's also very well acted and the dialogue is realistically simple. Other than it's shapelessness, I liked it.
