6 | A film of two halves

'Full Metal Jacket' was a film that I had been meaning to watch for a while after all the good stuff I had heard about it.



It really is a film of two halves, unfortunately I didn't like the 2nd half.



The 1st half at boot camp was excellent, we saw a lot of character development and emotion as well as a lot of humour and really serious issues. R. Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio were just brilliant.



The 2nd half I didn't enjoy as much, it looked great and there was a lot of action but it was just a bit boring and felt really dragged out, whereas the 1st part just had everything that you wanted.



Glad I got round to seeing it but wouldn't watch it again, slightly disappointed after a really good start to the film.



6/10.
