Is Jarhead a good movie? If so, why?

no it bloody isnt-starts promising enough and you think it may be a good film,but it just meanders through and nothing really happens at all-if you want to see a film about war and all its horror try full metal jacket or apocalypse now or platoon-jarhead is a film that will be a waste of a couple of hours of your time-dont do it!!!!

I saw it recently and I absolutely love it! It was surprisingly good. Yet again Peter Jackson pulls off an epic masterpiece. It really did not feel like a 3 hour movie. You should see it! It was very well done. It's fast moving and intense. Jack Black also surprised my by actually doing a great job. It's a great movie.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? OF COURSE I DID. THE MOVIE DOES NOT ANSWER EVERY QUESTION, THE HUMOR IS SOMETIMES LOWKEY BUT HILARIOUS AND I FIND SOMETHING NEW EVERYTIME I SEE IT. PEOPLE EITHER GET IT OR THEY DONT. IF YOU DO THEN YOUR LUCKYYYYYYYYYYYY.

THat's pretty subjective, but it's sure right up near the top of my list.  A terrifically serpentine plot, perfect period dialogue, smart use of symbolism and sharp shot selection are all things that stand out for me in this film.  Also, terrific hats ;)

Rent it and find out.... It's a great stop-action film by Tim Burton.  \n\nJack Skellington, the pumpkin king of Halloween Town, is bored with doing the same thing every year for Halloween. One day he stumbles into Christmas Town, and is so taken with the idea of Christmas that he tries to get the resident bats, ghouls, and goblins of Halloween town to help him put on Christmas instead of Halloween -- but alas, they can't get it quite right.\n\nDefinitely worth the time and effort!

It's as good as a movie called "Eight Legged Freaks" can be. You get some action, some suspense, you watch it, and you spend 90 minutes semi-entertained and move on with your life. I didn't like it but I've watched worse movies than that just to pass the time, so watch it if you're not expecting an awesome movie.

Decent acting, not a great movie, but a good enough film to pass the time.\nIt'll keep you guessing til the last second. And the camera work is great all movie long, so I would say YES, definetly go watch it.\n\nMake sure you get some good goodies to watch the movie, you won't regret it.\n\nNot the best movie, but a good enough movie to see maybe a Saturday night.

yes, i have and it is pretty good if you like action and speed and those cool cars. if you drive you're going to want to do or wish you could do what you saw in the movie.

I just saw it this weekend and loved it... his themes are always hitting home with me.  When you see Tyler Perry movies or plays it always seems like you're home chilling with one of your family members... so familiar.\n\nBTW, I think the majority of the people who saw this film could care less about some IMBD rating or whatever... it didn't make $30 in the first week for nothing... so if you're reading this and deciding whether to see it, go. Don't let a rating deter you from seeing such a great movie.

count me in bro, \nthat's one of the best movies i have ever seen. Peter Jackson have shown the world what he is made out of from that movie. I think he should do the next Harry Poter movie.(I'm not a big Harry Poter fan, but Goblets of Fire is nothing). \nNot only the director is great in there, the animatons and the story too.\n\nGreat movie,

It was good.  I watched it at the drive in back this past summer/spring.  I plan to watch it again.  It wasn't the best romantic movie that I ever saw but it was one worth recommending.

It was once of the best sequels I have ever seen.\n\nWe all know that as a rule, sequels suck. Thankfully there are a few exceptions and this is one of them.\n\nFirst of all, it isn't the same story as the first movie told in a different location. The story is a continuation, an explanation of the story that started with part 1. The location is different of course, and so are the new rules to survival. \n\nBut there are also new special effects and new gruesome ways to die, which is always a major plus in a movie like this. So for those people that thought that the 'victims' in part 1 were not all that 'deserving' of Jigsaw's cruel twisting of circumstances, there are a few better, seemingly more deserving candidates in this one.\n\nAnd there is a not-so-surprising surprise twist at the end. It was kind of obvious, but you get the idea. \n\nmy point? watch it anyway. If you like it, great. If not, then you can at least make fun of it with some relevant jokes instead of having to resort to the usual 'it's so dumb I wouldn't even watch it' lines.

It's a good movie. But if it didn't capture you I really can't see the point in you rewatching.\n\nAnd redwing - don't be a plonker. Do you think he really put his willy up Jake Gyllenhaals bum? Good grief! Are you going to stop watching films where married actors and actresses have screen sex with people who aren't their real life partners? Or wathing court room thrillers because the actors have no legal experience? Or Hoffman (both of them) movies because neither or them really pretend to be women/are drag queens? I'm sure Robert Englund would REALLY have stalked teenagers and killed them in thier dreams. Most actors will at some point in their careers do something they wouldn't normally do! Get a grip woman! I've never heard anything so bloody stupid in my life ....

i saw it yesterday. it was hilarious! the part with the grudge with the sterotype japenese was funny. i thought it was good, but not the best. i can't really compare it to the others cuz i only saw this one and the third. but it was still good.

its based off a game that I used to play,\n\nthe games start off great but they have serious flaws. like tons of filler. so Im skeptical of movies based off of games. especially bad games. \n\nnow if it was a resident evil movie I would be all for it. the game rocks too.

It is the hard word\n\nFirst-time director Scott Roberts gets it pretty right with this inyaface Aussie crime caper about three brothers who are just too good.at what they love best: robbing banks.\n\nGuy Pearce leads the Twentyman brothers as sort of mastermind Dale. He’s in jail and Rachel Griffiths is his unlikely moll wife who seems to be in bed with conniving lawyer Frank (Robert Taylor). \n\nThe scam is simple. The boys get snuck out of jail to pull their heists and everyone from the cops to the prison governor are cut in. Until Frankie decides he wants it all, including the lady- and there’ll be no witnesses.\n\nIt’s funny, black and rather surreal. Naturalism buffs will not adore this as much as looser-limbed viewers. But it’s helter-skelter action and remarkably little violence. Strong language though as you’d expect from a writer whose other film was the batty Denis Hopper vehicle The American Way in 1987.\n\nOne lovely touch totally misunderstood by almost every critic so far is the family argot based on butcher’s slang which the lads use to keep their personal stuff, er, personal.\nIf you could handle Chopper you will like this and ignore the spoilsport bourgeois critics of the national press when they come to savage it!
