And admit that the only reason you even like this film is because of R. Lee Ermey.

Nah, there are other parts of the movie I like...though I do turn it off after the “Do yu wan numba won fckee” part...

So there's one other scene you like? Got it.

[–] Vastuntitled (5699) 5 years ago

Not what I said....liked it up to that particular scene....the joker scenes when he arrives in country are pretty funny....

here's the thing I love Kubrick.. but for me this film fell apart after the training..
don't know why .. just don't enjoy when they aCTUally go into action.

beginning is fantastic though

He's by far the most memorable part, but the rest of the film is still 'good', just not great
