More movie heresy: Full Metal Jacket is only half great.

[Pale Blue Dot]

Once Matthew Modine leaves training camp, it becomes decidedly mediocre and familiar.

Go ahead and argue, or post your own act of movie heresy (based on a fun thread from last week that I'm not going to bother to find.)

1. Good Fellas wasn't all that great.

Certainly not "Godfather" quality.

2. half great and half good

but the problem was the first half should have been been the entire movie, or just a quarter of it.

3. Just proves once again that R. Lee Ermey is the greatest actor alive

4. The Big Lebowski is underrated. (nt)

5. 12 year olds, dude

[redqueen]

6. 8 year olds.

Mark it zero!

7. As far as I'm concerned,

it's the greatest movie ever! About the time it came out, my little brother was thinking of joining the Marines with his best bud. I took him to see it and it changed his mind. Which is what I intended it to do. So, greatest movie of all times!
