Full Metal Jacket (DVD, 2007)

Marine recruits (including Mathew Modine and Vincent D'Onofrio to name
a few) endure the grueling ordeal of Marine Boot Camp and later face the
unrelenting attacks during the 1968 Tet Offensive by the NVA and Viet
Cong troops. The action includes the re-taking of Hua City after the
city falls to the enemy - by the Marines. It is one of the most authentic
depictions of the Vietnam war ever put on the big screen-especially
concerning the Tet batttle. The movie really teems with howling madness
as the boots go through the training and you follow them from their
haircuts to the shooting range during the movie. But also includes the
stark images of slaughter of the schoolteacher and political officials
of the city of Hua by the VC. Very accurate in the attack sequences and
the sniper attacks upon the Marine squads in the way they actually happened
and this movie will be enjoyed by all who like War movies or Vietnam war
flix. This movie will be enjoyed by all that like those types of movies,
or Ex-Marines - who may get a laugh at remembering the days of boot camp,
because this as real as it gets in a movie. The director of this movie,
Stanley Kubrick, is a real professional with many hits (The Shining, 2001:
A Space Odyssey, Paths of Glory, A Clockwork Orange, etc) and this movie
comes very close to being his best work ever.

I LIKE THE MOVIE and itis very easy to buy on the ebay, because you can not find older movies like this in the stories

excellant seller highly reccomend, fast shipper. product as described. great product great price. would use this seller again

As in the title, my husband loves it. I can do without all the militant shouting in the beginning of the movie.

You have to like Kubrick to get this movie. It's a classic and well worth watching over and over again.

This is one of the best movies that I have seen. I actually have to keep replacing it, because everyone that comes to my house loves the movie and some how it keeps disappearing. This is a movie that I would not let my children watch until a little older as with most war type movies.

Great movie for hardcore fans! Love the DI and his attitude. I've heard this is one of the better representations of 'grunt work' than most films in the same era. There is always a special place in movies for Stanley Kubrick and this film is not a disappointment.
A must see for Marine lover!

Full Metal Jacket is one of my favorite movies my friends and i watch it all the time! It definitely gives you an idea of the struggles of boot camp and what it means to earn the title marine! Also the bond of the platoons and different things that could happen in war. I give this movie 5/5 I Love It!!!

If you like war movies.... then you should have already watched this movie because this is the best war movie Ive seen.

This movie takes place in vietnam, shows what happens in the vietnam war with the marines. Some crazy action scenes and real life drama.

This is a must HAVE movie.

This movie was in great shape. Not a scratch on the DVD!!!!!! I would buy from this seller again. The shipping was really fast too. Really good service!!! Thanks!!!

The dvd was in a very good condition. It arrived during the time estimated by the seller.
Every thing was ok.

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rarely is a movie better than the book. Kubrik is spot on w/ this film. Outdoes Platoon which came around the same time but was overshadowed by Hollywood hype kind of in the way Thin Red Line was over shadowed by Saving Private Ryan. Kubrik turned the London docks into Hue City and I thought they were in SE Asia.
Amazing.

Great movie and very reallistic. Worth every penny to buy it. If you're thinking of joining the Marines or if you just like them then get this movie!

Full Metal Jacket is one of the two best movie descriptions of Marine Corp Boot Camp. The other one is The DI starring Jack Webb made in 1957. The language used in FMJ, made in 1987 was not allowed in 1957. While the language in FMJ is more realistic, I think it goes a little overboard. Watch The DI and you will see that the desired effect can be achieved without the foul language. R. Lee Ermey in FMJ was an ex-marine DI so that added authenticity to the movie. In The DI most of the cast were real Marines and not actors. Watch both of them and see what you think.

I had to buy a replacement DVD as my original copy was stolen along with dozens more. I was very pleased with both the sales price and the shipping. As for war movies, this ranks in the top five for me personally.

I decided to buy this movie after hearing friend's reviews and watching various clips from the movie on YouTube. I love this movie and it has become one of my favorite movies of all time. Go out and buy it!!!

i couldnt find this movie in stores but i probably didnt look hard enough lol the movie was shipped in good time.will do business again. thank you : )

i bought the dvd five week ago and iimpressed with the color and sound much better then vcr tape and the prise is right.

I liked the beginning the most. It got kind of boring towards the end. The digitaly remastered aspect was pretty nice.

This is one of my top 3 war movies of all time,, if you like action Riveting is comedy and suspense this is a winner!! 10 st*rs
