One for the ages

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2002)

It's difficult to compare an old war film with the more technological features we have today, but All Quiet on the Western Front still hold up today.
Granted, some might say the battle scenes are chintsy, but then again, one has to remember this film was made in 1930, when film was still getting used to the idea of using synchronized sound. I still believe this film could be remade, but unless someone is willing to keep the beauty and the revelry of the original film, then it shouldn't.
This film will always remain one of my favorite war films.
