Roger Ebert criticizes Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" for its shapeless and inconsistent storytelling, its cliched war scenes and its lack of character development. He praises the opening scenes on Paris Island and the performance of Lee Ermey as the drill instructor, but finds the rest of the film disappointing.
