ive seen it and I hated myself for accepting my friends wanted to see it
unless you like sleeping in a theater I would recommend you to pick another movie
AWWEEEFULLL!
Well.. It's not a bad movie. But it's the kind of movie that when you leave.. You wonder.. "WTF?! Ok.. What's the point?!" and you forget about it as soon as you leave the movie theater.
Having served in the Middle East in the early 90's I disagree with the last 2 comments. Nothing worse than being trained to go to war and doing nothing but sitting on your ass. That is what this film is about. If you need mindless slaughter and violence go rent Rambo III.

great. so a high budget movie means something to 50,000 people. big deal. if they would have said "this movie is for soldiers who didn't get to shoot anyone yet" on the theater door, i would not have been so pissed about wanting that 2hrs of my life back.
2/4 "The people you feel most badly for in Jarhead are not the men played by these talented actors, but the marketing department at Universal Pictures, saddled with the impossible task of selling a war movie that doesn't contain any actual war in it."
-- Rene Rodriguez, MIAMI HERALD
2/4 "A pointless picture, [it's] a boring meditation on the boredom of war."
-- Steve Rhodes, INTERNET REVIEWS
1.5/4 "The tagline for Jarhead is 'Welcome to the Suck.' Truth in advertising must be making a comeback."
-- Dustin Putman, THEMOVIEBOY.COM
2/4 "I came. I saw. I didn't do anything. I went back home."
-- Marty Mapes, MOVIE HABIT
C+ "It's not easy to make an interesting movie about men who are bored, and Jarhead can't quite rise to the challenge."
-- Robert Denerstein, DENVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS
2.5/4 "Jarhead is a frustrating piece of craftsmanship, a fantastically made movie on a technical level that leaves viewers with nothing in the end."
-- Dan Fienberg, ZAP2IT.COM
2/5 "By showing deadening boredom on screen, Mendes nearly bores his audience to death."
-- Jurgen Fauth, ABOUT.COM
4/10 "War is hell, and some war movies are hell to watch - such as this one"
-- Jackie K. Cooper, JACKIEKCOOPER.COM
"For Swofford, the war was one long and losing battle against boredom. For anyone caught in the draft of this blustery movie, the experience will be much the same."
-- Thomas Delapa, BOULDER WEEKLY
2/5 "The tag line for this film is 'Welcome to the suck.' Consider this your warning."
-- Kevin Carr, 7M PICTURES
"A disappointing war movie with not one shot fired, no visible enemy, and soldiers standing around in the desert. More gay than ?Capote.? "
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
Don't always trust IMDB's rating. It's biased and it's easy to cheat the rating.
Anyway, I hope your popcorn will be good. And your girlfriend won't trust you anymore the next time it's your turn to pick a movie. So less blowjobs for you.
