I don't think the 2nd half is bad but it sure was a departure from the 1st. It felt like two completely separate movies with the 1st being superior to the 2nd. Like a sequel.

Platoon is the better film imo. Better plot. Better character development.

Full Metal Jacket falls apart completely once Joker and the rest of the gang enters Vietnam. Platoon is the better film and is much more effective at getting its anti-war agenda across than Full Metal Jacket.


I agree with this...The first part of FMJ is the best sequence in either movie though, imo.

Platoon for me. I think it's a better movie, and more enjoyable to watch.
