Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not as Good
Review: The movie is poor is many ways. First, it lacks organization skills. Events do not follow in logical order. Second, sound quality and picture are bad. It is better to read the book, where a reader can get more information about Paul Baumer.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A WONDERFUL PIECE OF WORK
Review: I saw this movie when AMC was showing it and I absolutley love it. It really has a good message. You watch gungho young kids wanting glory from the war and soon get to be hardened veterans and aged men, scared by war. A truely remarkable movie that was revolutionary for it's time, it is defineatley not a flag waver.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Massive 1930 Film Version of Antiwar Classic
Review: This fine, early sound film has been preserved on videotape in exquisite black and white without any embellishment- it needs none. The book was probably shoved down your throat self-consciously in high school English, but here it's brought to vivid life. In this beautifully filmed version one can see the cinematographic seeds of what will become modern moviemaking. The movie is pretty powerful and intersting, but a bit long at 130 minutes. Well worth the time to watch, though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Appaling
Review: though criticized for bad acting, I feel that its message goes beyond acting. its tale and message is something that i wish everyone could see.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Review
Review: I would just like to say that this is one of the most powerful movies that ever came about. The Message is great and every time you watch it you think about how lucky you are that you weren't in it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wasted
Review: I am really sorry some people out there hated this film but it says more about them than the movie. I suggest they go back, get the latest Bond movie out and stop annoying people with their 'whining'. If you don't have the attention span of a gnat and can make allowances for when the film was made then buy it now.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So Bad, It funny
Review: What else make this movie even funnier, the hype of course. This movie was soooo awful, you will laugh your a** off!

The acting is so fake. The funniest part whenever anyone whines in it. I really don't know why all the critics think this is the best war movie of all-time, they must been stone while watching this worthless trash. I can't imagine anyone enjoying this film the same way as Gone With The Wind and The Godfather.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the worst films ever made
Review: Am I watching the same movie like everyone else? The movie I saw was unwatchable and stupid. It right up there with Plan 9 From Outer Space on my worst movies of all-time list.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A WWI Classic
Review: This is the classic WWI anti-war film from the German perspective. It is a very powerful film, yet somewhat preachy in its' anti-war message- which style fell right into line with the standards of the day, melodrama and all. Even though it is a period piece, it is still captivating, and draws the viewer into it's story and message, even 70 years on- which is a triumph by any definition. If you see only one movie about WWI, you should probably see this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Anti-War in 1930 - Strangely attractive...
Review: I would give it a (hotly contested) 4.5 (rounded to 5). Before I explain the hotly contested part, let me explain that I am a sucker for a good black and white movie. And since this film was released in 1930, it's about as black and white as you can get. In fact, it still had a few elements of silent pictures which I enjoyed (short scenes fading to black). For 1930, the story was good but it was the acting that I thought was superior. The whole movie had an anti-war theme through the eyes of the Germans in WW1 which I thought was done rather well with an end cemetery scene to make all WW1 veterans cry. All this done in 1930, whew.

Now, for the hotly contested part. I am not sure what drew me to this picture and made me love it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I bet some of you will walk away saying: "What? This thing sucked toilet water!" So, I can recommend it but watch it at your own risk.
