What I hate in a movie is gratuitous violence, that over the top stuff. I won't usually see a film like that. But take a film like "Saving Private Ryan" as an example. The extreme violence at the beginning of the film was necessary (I think) to establish the rest of the film.
I agree...the beginnings of both "Full Metal Jacket" and "The Hurt Locker" are graphic. But they set the tone for the rest very well. Even " The Kingdom", that one was violence and explosions all the way through. But IED's are a huge threat in modern warfare. One again it was well done. You can depict explosions and death without focusing on body parts.
Better that a good movie takes you into the head of the characters...the tension, the fear, you're on the ground with them.
