Please rate movie 1 to 5 stars
This movie was excellent.I lived 5 years in the war zone and this movie is showing the real side of how war affects human mind. It is not an action movie and thank God for that. Acting was Oscar worthy. One of the best move I have seen in a long time.
The key word for this movie is Subtle. The story, acting and messages are all subtle. I dont blame you if yuo thought it was supposed to be an action ovie, the comercial makes it look like one, but it is anything but. Best thing I can compare it to is Over There. Great movie if u like to think, otherwise pass on it. 4/5
Those who say "This movie is the best movie I have ever seen" or "The worse movie I have ever seen" must not have seen many movies or are plainly stupid. They usually have little else to say. Don`t trust their opinion-it makes no sense.
read these reviews b4 seeing is my advice.. I am glad i did. I went in knowing the movie had no action..so i appriciated it for the move it was..and WOW what a movie.the cimemantography is AMAZING, and the color..wow..visually the best movie i have seen since "Gerry" some points had alittle to much "US" propiganda..but i loved it..watch this movie to appricate the art behind a movie..not for death and blood.
I love it Jake`s performance was amazing I could not believe my eyes when I saw him naked on that sex scene. 10 he is a 10
omg omg i loved this movie.. love the jake ..nice body. i never really liked him or any of his movies before..but this one id say is by far the best of his. a must see movie. i cried in this one. not really much of crier either.
This movie is great in its own right. Everyone sees some guys in army uniforms carrying guns and they think alright this must be an action flick! The thing is its showing from a totally different aspect, its very dramatic and I dont think its boring at all. All of you adrenaline junkies are the ones who are dissapointing yourself because you think its something its not. This movie has alot of power and focus behind it. Its from a soldiers eyes. Not what the producer or director thinks will make you jump in your seat. Do a little more research on the movies you go to see before watching then and judging them. Jarhead Is an amazing movi
i love this movie its the 2nd best movie i`ve see seen in a long while
I can`t believe some of the comments i have read here!! Some of you say the movie is no good because there was no action!! you people do not have an open mind to movie that are "different" and "original". This movie was FANTASTIC!! a great story of what life is like on the front lines! it portays a soldier`s life very well! God forbid any of us have to go to war. This movie shows respect for all of our soldiers abroad. 4 out of 5 !! GREAT movie! before some of you post comments, you should really think about what you are typing!!
finally! this is the first movie i have liked in a really really really long time. Great movie.
I attended this movie last Saturday night with 4 friends. Afterwards, we all agreed this was a terrible movie and a total waste of time. I kept looking at my watch wondering how much longer this thing was going to last. I never went anywhere; supposedly a war movie with no war. I kept waiting for the action to happen but it never did. I was sorry I wasted my time and money on this one.
To the entertainment critic that had fault with the way in which individuals express their opinion, get a life. We are entitled to our opinion and it`s too bad that we are not all experts like you in selecting exactly the most appropriate words to convey our thoughts. So, if bothers you so much, don`t visit this site and upset yourself, life is to short for such trivial matters.
Great movie, really enjoyes it. PLEASE NOT, THIS IS NOT AN ACTION MOVIE, dont go in expecting to watch am action movie. really well done.
BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. SOO MUCH ACTION SCENES. IT WAS SOOO EXCITING, AND THERE WAS SOOOO MUCH GUN SCENES. I WANT TO BE A JARHEAD WHEN I GROW UP. WORTH YOUR MONEY. SOOO MUCH VIOLENCE, MAYBE MORE THAN BLACK HAWK DOWN
2 hours of watching Jake Gyllenhaal be bored in the desert.
Please, to all of you critics out there who post reviews, take a lesson or two in English and learn how to properly establish what you are thinking to a reader; these reviews are often worse than the film`s they`re written about
If you are looking for alot of action then this movie is not for you. It portrays the war without the killing "THUMBS DOWN"
IT`S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL.WONDERFUL.FANTASTIC.AMAZING MOVIE OF ALL THE UNIVERS
If you want to be entertained, then I would suggest that you skip this movie. If you`re looking for History Channel or A & E documentary, then you`ll really enjoy this movie. It was informative about the true aspects of war, but it was truely boring from an entertainment perspective. For Entertainment value I give it a 1 out of 10, for a documentary 5 out of 10. So, you be the Judge.
it was good acting, but a litlle slow.
I think Jarhead was the most boring war movie I ever seen. It has no action at all.
The movie was downright boring...
I thought it was very slow moving. It took a long time for the plot or story to develop. Good acting but not much of a story.
A "Jarhead" movie if you ask me
Great Movie
Kick Butt Movie Great action
Great Movie
Sweet movie
Good movie
Awsome Movie ÔÆ
This movie was awsomeÉ
This was a great movie!!! Makes you think about just how crappy war can really be!
This was a great movie that really shows you a different side of what going to war is like. The story and the acting was fantasic.
Worst movie I`ve ever seen.
A great movie. Well directed, visually powerful.
Jarhead was not what my boyfriend and i thought it was going to be. Even though it did show how the soldiers spend their time but it did not have any fighting or `war` scense at all but again its how the soldiers at this war did spend their time lol so its accurate but a littel boring if ur going for an action flic, it had some funny parts but overall it wasnt all that it was cracked up to be.
2nd best movie after Pearl Harbour =]
This movie was great...GO SEE IT!!!
"Um, who asked for a social commentary..." Um... who are you to tell us what or what not to say? Canada`s a free country dude.
I totally agree. Pain and suffering should not be commercilized, etc. The poor sufferings of the middle eastern people should be poked fun of out of this movie. Those "good ol" boys think they`re doing something good, what`s good of killing poor and innocent people?
this movie was great. From the pre-views I thought it might have been jsut another army over done movie, but it wasn`t. It had a plot to it that captures what one can go through in the army
If you liked saving private ryan or black hawk down , dont watch this movie it will be to boring for you.
Um, who asked for a social commentary? Next time leave a MOVIE REVIEW.
JARHEAD IS POWERFUL & ASHTONOSHING! THE YEARS BEST FILM OF 2005!!!
AMAZING MOVIE...
Amazingly portrayed and worth seeing. Great job.
the movie was very well done and acted in i thought. It brings the futility of the Gulf War (to the american soldiers) very apparent . At times i was laughing and in the same scene got very sad and uneasy the contrast was nice
Take if from a serving memeber this film is vary accurate with the way we spend our time, and how our life is.
this movie was soo bad! it`s not even worth renting. There was no story, it made no sense, and it`s not the action movie the commercials make it out 2 be. i was bored throughout the entire movie and would have left, but the theater was full of upset and frustrated viewers.
It`s an okay-movie. In my personal opinion, it`s certainly not as good as "Saving Private Ryan" for a war-movie. If the director`s focus was emphasizing the trauma and frustration each marine personnel had to go through during the Gulf War, I can safely say that he had done a good job. However, I would hesitate to call “Jarhead” a good war-movie.
