I havn't seen it yet but can anyone compare it to Three Kings?

saw it last night. i thought it was pretty good. a friend's friend that was with us was actually a marine sniper similar to the main characters. he said that it was a pretty close interpretation of things that went on out there, but in reality, tons more happened. its hard to compare it to other war flicks tho.

there is no comparison to 3 kings, its two completely different stories and contexts. i think it stands alone from any typical war movie if nothing else for lack of combat.

welcome to the suck!

I've got to say, despite my absolute horror and anger regarding the current war in eye-rak, the jarhead book doeas actually portray a disillusioned soldier going into the first gulf war all gung-ho and towing the party line, and leaving disgusted at what he and his peers had been asked to be part of.
It's a trailer you've seen, not the film, it's going to be feel good and patriotic -that's how the studios will advertise it. but the fact ti's been made by people against the current war it might not actually be so bad.

Full Metal Jacket
is separated in 2 parts:
draft & war.
watch closely the interview in the second part/ Joker's answers and you'll see what type of "war movie" it's about.

that film is just part of the machine that glorifies war to the masses, a dumbing down. I lost interest in war movies after apocalipse now, that was the end all.

I thought the movie was great.. i thought it was a interesting perspective of modern volunteer army . these guys are all hopped up to kill and technology ends up doing all the fighting.. i think it was a great viewpoint..

why not use the millions to fund the best war documentary ever made
& give a real perspective
that would paint the ugly picture needed

I think the drill sargeant is about the only thing that is that similar.
Good movie I thought.
