"Jarhead" is just a rip off of "Full Metal Jacket"
 

I noticed it before but was never bored enough to post a thread.

The movie "Jarhead" is just a badly done copy of "Full Metal Jacket". Anyone else notice?

Jarhead sucked.

Full Metal Jacket is a great movie.

i thought it was a good movie...am i in the minority?

i'd hit R. Lee Ermey:2 cents:

i didnt like jarhead. It aint got nothin on full metal jacket

There are a good number of scenes in Jarhead that are simply a ripoff from scenes in Full Metal Jacket.

they are not a ripoff if they really happened to someone and full metal was fiction.

Certainly I am not denying that Jarhead is based on a true story.

Soldiers in ?Jarhead? are trying to have a war similar to what they have seen in movies like ?Full metal jacket? and ?Apocalypse now?. ?Jarhead? is not copying ?Full metal jacket?? Soldiers are doing it. That is the point of the movie. It is actually pretty obvious.

Jarhead was horrible. I almost fell asleep while watching it. I stopped watching before it was completely over.

Jarhead was a decent movie.
It had a huge amount of american-flag waving and bullshit in it to begin with, but the ending, esp. w/ the viet vet hopping on the returning bus: powerful.

Had nothing to do w/ FMJ.

I didn't like Jarhead at all, but the reason they are so similar is because they are both based on the Marines.

Bingo. The thing about jarhead is that it reminded me exactly of stories (and pics)a kid I met told me right after he returned from Desert Storm. Made me think it was his movie.

The only thing it had in common with Full Metal Jacket was the USMC.

you cannot put those 2 in the same sentance

jarhead propaganda

I still can't believe that Private Pile is the same dude who plays on Law and Order now.

Actually, I think those two are pretty different movies, I wouldn't even compare them!

I'm gonna join the camp of, "they aren't in the same league."

Maybe if they did ripoff Full Metal Jacket it would of been better. Jarhead sucked.

Watch the two movies... you'll notice some very similar scenes... that's all I'm sayin.

It's basically the same story.

Know what I sayin? Know what I sayin?

Jarhead was a piece of trash. Nothing happened in the entire movie. Perhaps that's the point. But I think the writers, directors, and producers failed to realize that what people expect in a movie is either some action or a story. Jamie Fox alone is not a movie.

I didn't think it was like Full Metal Jacket at all. I thought Jarhead was an alright movie but Full Metal Jacket is a great movie.

Jarhead blew, aside from the raining oil scene. What a boring fucking "war" movie.

I love Jarhead! Swoffert is freakin' hot, especially when he is fucking his girlfriend :) I love the line from the shower scene, "ahhh, look, its like a cock but smaller" lol
Its visually impressive as well...but now I have to rent full metal jacket again bc its been a while since i've seen it...

Jarhead is terrible true or not.......it is total bullshit
Full Metal Jacket is the best, and that is the way it was..................

That's why you love it duh. For the hot Marines!

When I think of you my mouth just starts salivating and my croth starts to tingle, I swear.
