All Quiet on the Western Front Reviews and Ratings

-
May 20, 2007One of the oldest Great War Movies. It's messege of how governments try to manipulate the reality of war to show it as glorious will always ring true.
-
May 14, 2007Good film and well representing of the war, but i feel almost blasphemous for saying that i take off points for the dated, tired feel. There is also a lack of any soundtrack, which I think could have improved the atmosphere. The ending is brilliantly classic.
-
May 6, 2007Brooding movie, too long, but a stinging indictment of war non the less
-
May 4, 2007Showing the horrors of war so well. I found out many years after reading the book that the military brass hated the Christmas truce of 1914. They had to force the soldiers to fight again after they had crossed battle lines on that day.

May 1, 2007This anti-war poem is as beautiful today as it was in 1930. From life in a trench that's constantly being bombed to a soldier returning home and being branded a coward for speaking out against war, this truly captures the horrors that, although I have never witnessed it, soldiers...( read more)

April 29, 2007Undoubtedly the best film I've ever seen. Nearly perfect in all areas, impactful on the heart and mind, and considerably accurate and believeable.

March 24, 2007The book was great however I thought the movie didnt do as well. There was some good action scences and whatnot. It doesnt live up to the book.

January 3, 2007Great movie. Only thing I didn't like about it is that it's black and white.

December 31, 2006I think this is the one we watched in history class... a good book, and a good movie.
-
December 31, 2006A very good film. It is amazing that this film was made when it was because it is both anti-war and told from the other side.

November 21, 2006My only World War 1 film that I can recal, and a very good one at that.

October 30, 2006Considering it was released in 1930, this is a classic piece of filmmaking even today. Very brave to be created so soon after WW1, and at a time of heavy censorship in films, this film, essentially created what we call a "War Film"
A touching story about how War destorys lives, ...( read more) -
October 26, 2006I can't believe that any modern re-make would ever be able to bring the book to life as this one does. The lack of CGI makes (almost) everything look very realistic. A modern-day remake would probably not have the same earnestness and proximity to the subject matter - after WWI...( read more)

October 17, 2006One of the best endings to a movie... EVER! That's pretty much all I remember about it...
