Just like the original. Just what i expected. this is the one with the better features GET THIS VERSION. the Hi-Def on older movies is a tough thing to get looking and sounding good. they did pretty good with this one.
July 13, 2008Good Nam War movie a must have if you're a fan of military conflict action style movies. Good video and sound track quality, good one to replace VHS copy or start new Blu-ray libery for action flicks.

I have previously owned the standard definition DVD of Full Metal Jacket and only purchased it because I was unable to find a wide screen version. Well, the HD-DVD version is now available and is exactly what I wanted. It is shown in it's widescreen glory, and the image quality is crystal clear in the high def format. The sound quality is first rate as well. If you purchased an HD-DVD player as I did, this is a great addition to your movie collection.

This is the best vietnam movie out there. The Bootcamp is the best ever done. Too this day you dont see another bootcamp scene like this.
June 29, 2008After seeing what the new technology can do to the visual quality of another Vietnam film 30+ years old (The Deer Hunter), I was disappointed in how this presentation of FMJ looked in hi-def. It almost looks like the SD (standard def) disc was "dubbed" and simply relabeled "HD"; much of the first half of the film looks over-exposed & washed out, esp. scenes in the barracks. In addition there is NOTHING extra included in the HD disc vs. the disc! No commentaries, no deleted scenes, nothing! As large & diverse as this ensemble cast was, surely Warner Brothers could have found at least ONE of the actors to provide some much-needed insight on how this film was made & the feelings of the cast on-set.
I hope the "deluxe" HD-DVD package brings more to the table than this one...it wouldn't be difficult at all.
