Full metal jacket was built around somebody's anti war fantasy. We were soldiers is a true story.

Yes it's a true story, but it's a true story with cardboardy characters and silly looking special effects. The two movies just don't compare in terms of quality.

The only true-to-form performance in Full Metal Jacket was that of R. Lee Ermey (Gunny Sgt. Hartman). According to the movie's website, he didn't rehearse or learn any lines, it was a complete natural performance.
