8.5/10 - The basic training part of the movie is a 9, the rest of the movie is about an 8.

8/10 – the best look at an infantry unit during the Vietnam War. It avoids the clichés and preachiness of Platoon.

7/10, plus an extra two points for the "sniper" scene. So: 9/10.

You forgot to add the two bonus points for the sniper scene. |

7 for me. And only because of the first half of the movie.

The first part taking place in boot camp was easily the best but I did find it a bit uneven. When they graduate is when the movie feels flat. Not a great cast, either. 5/10

I'm also going to give this 7 for the first part alone. I would say that Kubrick has done better movies that are more deserving of a higher score.

10/10. I'll always love this film because I used to watch it repeatedly with my father.
R. Lee Ermey ad-libbed all of those lines for the barracks scene. I thought that was pretty impressive.
I love how it turns from funny to dark in an instant. Kubrick did a good job when Gomer Pyle snapped and shot the Drill Instructor.
As somebody had mentioned above, the sniper scene with Joker and Animal Mother was gruesome. Gotta love Adam Baldwin.
I'd have to say this movie is somewhat on par with Saving Private Ryan (1998).

Up to an 8/10.
Two scenes gave me chills; the suicide of Pyle and the killing of the little girl sniper.

No rating. To me, the movie ends when Gomer Pyle does. GREAT performance by D'Onofrio
