Full Metal Jacket is good, but I'd say Platoon is better

Love both films, but Platoon is better.

They are both good but Predator is better.

Platoon is far more powerful. FMJ has a great first half but the second half doesn't hold up. It feels like a completely different movie.

Agree, Platoon is better. Oliver Stone served in Vietnam..

IMO, realism is not the goal of FMJ. This film is about the psychological indoctrination of the warrior.
there has been technological advancement, but how little man himself has changed.

Overall, I think Platoon is more realistic. Full Metal Jacket has realistic elements, but in the Stanley Kubrick style of surrealism.
