Full Metal Jacket is by far the best war movie ever made. It´s not as violent, action-filled and bloody as Saving Private Ryan, but like all of Kubrick´s films this is beautifully shot with amazing perfomances from all involved. Basically if you like Kubrick´s films then this is a treat, but if you like your war movies to have a lot of combat scenes you´ll probably be somewhat disappointed.
The film was shot in Fullframe, so this so called widescreen version has just black bars added to it so you´ll actually lose than get more image (same goes for The Shining). This method was used in the theaters but Stanley Kubrick wanted the audience to see the whole picture when watched from TV, that´s the reason why Full Metal Jacket and The Shining haven´t been available in Widescreen format before.

Another classic in stanley kubricks catalogue, the film just has to be watched, it certainley is not "just another war movie" the first hour at boot camp has some of the best acting, dialogue, drama and tension that i have ever seen. The casting of all the actors is perfect and when we get into the war side of things, it's the real deal. Can't believe the war sequences were shot in london.
Movie is more of an experience therfore it's hard to write a review. Defo one to watch.

This film is really gd, it has gd story gd action scenes and also really funny!!!!
