brendan o'hareAug 14, 2016I'm not giving it five stars is because the first half is so much better than the second half but I'm giving it 4 stars literally just because of how good the first half is

Another banger from Kubrick, dude does not miss. Well, technically he does I'm just a glazer. Anyways, decent movie. This is one of, if not the, most recurring and impactful themes in his work, the insignificance and stupidity of war and his complete rejection of it. I gotta say-
William Luckenbach lovedFull Metal JacketFull Metal Jacket is a must see war movie for all. If you haven’t seen this masterpiece watch it now. It’s interesting throughout and compelling all the way through. It does have slight pacing issues which subtract a little from this wonderful film. 8.5/10

- nevan lovedFull Metal Jacket
an amazing war film that captures every sadistic and brutal aspect of the vietnam war. the acting, writing, music, and action is all excellent with stanley kubrick’s signature touch to violent combat and character development. masterful

No one who sees Full Metal Jacket will easily put the film's last glimpse of D'Onofrio, or a great many other things about Kubrick's latest and most sobering vision, out of mind.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
Elliptical, full of subtle inner rhymes...and profoundly moving, this is the most tightly crafted Kubrick film since Dr. Strangelove, as well as the most horrific; the first section alone accomplishes most of what The Shining failed to do.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
As brutally unsparing as Platoon was, it was ultimately warm and embracing. Kubrick's film is about as embracing as a full-metal-jacketed bullet in the gut. [29 June 1987]
