    Yeah, that's my gripe with it as well, once it gets to Vietnam. There are a couple of scenes, but it's the Boot Camp stuff that most people seem to talk about when FMJ is discussed.

    I honestly think the second half is just as good as the first. That movies a genuine masterpiece.

    I've always thought it was a film of two halves as well.

    Yeah. I mean it wasn’t bad the second half, but when you decide to kill off the best thing about the movie halfway through that takes some balls.

    Yeah like I said the second half was good, very good in fact. But the first half was incredible that I just feel it failed to live up to it.

    2 movies would have been better. FMJ1 boot camp. FMJ2 war.

    When talking Kubrick and the question of masterpiece, the bar is pretty high.

    I like Platoon but I'm surprised it's top 10.

    To be fair the top 10 has been good.

    Repeating myself here but what a decade of films. Incredible.
