Critic Reviews
The most eloquent and exacting vision of the war to date... Inspired with technique rather than overblown with it, Kubrick, the filmmaker's filmmaker, lays one on you.
Read the full reviewKubrick's harrowing, beautiful and characteristically eccentric new film about Vietnam, is going to puzzle, anger and (I hope) fascinate audiences as much as any film he has made to date... A film of immense and very rare imagination.
Read the full reviewAn intense, schematic, superbly made Vietnam War drama.
Read the full reviewWe've seen it all before, most recently in "Gardens of Stone," most romantically in "An Officer and a Gentleman," but never more elegantly than here as Kubrick sustains the athletic ballet of obstacle courses and white-glove inspections for a breathtaking 40 minutes.
Read the full reviewThe footage on the Paris Island obstacle course is powerful. But Full Metal Jacket is uncertain where to go, and the movie's climax, which Kubrick obviously intends to be a mighty moral revelation, seems phoned in from earlier war pictures.

"Simpy the best movie about the veitnam conflict, and the only one (according to my father, a veitnam vet) that even comes close to the actual Marine corps experience."

"R.Lee Ermey is great in acting this sergant that absolutly devistates those "maggots" as he would say... .F.M.J is a must see"
2 Live Crew
"I did not know until I watched the movie the other day that the rap group "2 Live Crew" had actually sampled dialouges from this movie. The movie itself is a 'must watch' for anyone who's been or is in the military."
