I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
... View MoreAn absolute waste of money
... View Moren my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
... View MoreClever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
... View MoreI used to watch this show with my older brother, we had a lot of fun. I revisited the show when R. Lee Ermey passed away on April 15th 2018Watching these episodes is just amazing.Ermey is testing a large variety of weapons From rifles to even rocket launchers, Ermey also used to answer the viewer questions.Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed.
... View MoreR. Lee Ermey, a former Marine gunnery sergeant, and the star of the movie Full Metal Jacket, is the host of a half-hour question-and-answer show, in which he answers questions about military technology. Send him your questions and if they use them, you'll be notified. OO-RA! SEMPER FI, CARRY ON!
... View MoreI found this little show on the history channel, and found that it is simply great. THe premise is simple: You send them email, or letters regarding history of military. Then former U.S. Marine sgt. R Lee Ermey answers them. Simple, good, and always funny
... View MoreR. Lee pulls of a great program in terms of both historical relevance and his own inimitable humor and style. The show, surprisingly, doesn't focus merely on machine guns and guided missiles, but digs back into important - yet rarely considered - military equipment, personnel and history. When I first heard about "Mail Call", I was afraid that the History Channel would reign in the R. Lee Ermey we all know and love through characters such as Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann in Full Metal Jacket.Far from it, Ermey acts just as irascable and tough-as-nails here as he does in any of his roles. Sometimes, the jokes are a little stiff, but overall everything seems to work well, and I must admit I do smile when he answers questions from younger viewers with all the patience and kindness of a first-grade teacher. (Please, no-one ever tell him I wrote that!)If the show has any shortcomings, it's that it's only 30 minutes long. To dig into the real history behind some of the events, innovations and deeds he discusses would be far better served by an hour-long program instead of crammed down into a half of that time.Overall, if you're tired of "blah" historical documentaries and watching the same grainy footage over and over, as punctuated by the droning voice of an unknown narrator when it comes to military historical shows, shut your piehole, stand tall before the TV and watch some "Mail Call", scumbag!
