The whole movie is great, but the first half has an intensity that seems to be lacking in the second part. Probably because, while there have been other great war movies, there's never been another movie that showed boot camp in such a way. Course, it's not like I've ever been in the service and know what basic training is like, but you know what I mean.

The second half does thematic things only barely promised in the first half.

First half all the way. But it was good to see their boot camp training put to use in the movie

I like the whole movie a whole lot, but I do like the first half better than the second...still, when I watch it, I always watch the whole movie.

whole movie.

first 1/2 is fun for me 'cause I was in military-boarding-school, one of the toughtest in the country & it was like that(the movie's basic training) at times.
just watched it (the remastered version) a few weeks ago & noticed I turned up the sound probably louder than most all discs i've watched.

The first half is a great movie unto itself. The second part is a disaster. JMO.
