All Quiet on the Western Front Reviews

As of now, in 5 years this will be 100 years old, and even though it doesn't have blood and gore like war films nowadays, it's still raw and violent. We even got some moments of levity to break tension a little bit. Lastly, I don't have this rated higher simply because I do prefer modern-made war films, and I didn't connect to the characters here as much. I'll always appreciate it, though, because it influences everything that came after.

Made me cry and sob at Kats death in the end and I will never recover from this🧍‍♂️

Where most war movies glorify war and being a soldier, All Quiet exposes the harsh reality of war and PTSD. There is no glory in war or in fighting, just pain and suffering and lives destroyed.

Great way to show pain and misery from the First World War

shocking film in a good way

Best Picture Oscar winner 1931 (3rd Academy Awards)
My Rating: 7/10

For the time, I think it was very well done. It showed a side of what the war was like not seen before. The end shot is beautiful and haunting.

This movie is unbelievable. Shocking it came out so long ago because it is one of the most genuinely emotional films I’ve ever seen and the directing was great. The filmography is much better than some films made today.

9.3

This was a great film. The story was true and hard hitting. Action packed filled with the emotions and trouble of the WWI. It was a rollercoaster. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

9/10

bad

Just awesome. Even though it's an old black and white movie it's still horrific. In my opinion the 2020s one is better, but it's still a great movie in its own right. There's a few scenes that almost brought me to tears. One of my fav older movies.

honestly don’t even want to watch the other versions after seeing this one. shows the truth behind war and doesn’t glamorize it. extremely ahead of its time

there's a reason this movie is the only one to win both best picture and best director at the Oscars, it is a realistic, disturbing and complex meadowlark of human aggression. I've yet to see a better movie, it's message and it's creation are the epitome of masterpiece.

Extremely underrated movie. Definitely worth the watch

Incredible for its time and such a tragic ending

Incredible depiction of WW1 and the brutalities of it. Some the most chaotic war scenes I’ve seen. The way the development of shell sock is portrayed is almost frightening to see. All time classic, highly recommend for any war movie enthusiasts.

this was a anti-war movie right in the middle of world war I and world war II played some roles by veteran world war I soldiers it is an amazing but very horrific sad story true story of what these poor soldiers went through we're all men we all think we're fighting for the right cause we all believe God is on our side but none of that is true war is hell

This movie was in production during the start of the Great Depression and my god, this was well made. The acting was a little cartoony, but I can’t fault it since people back then relied on silence films for body language and not voices. A very effective and important film.

Not easy to watch, but it's a classic.

A thorough look at a start to finish tour in WWI. Shows many facets and angles from a group of friends’ experiences.
