I like the 1979 TV movie version with Earnest Borgnine and the guy from the Waltons.

Some of the action scenes were pretty cool and I liked the score. Otherwise a pretty unremarkable movie

>Earnest Borgnine
I thought he was really out of place. He's some old guy along with the young soldiers.

I thought the opposite, the action scenes were too flashy. Paul and Kat hanging out and the general atmosphere was the good stuff

Keep in mind I'm a brainlet who likes to see explosions and blood and people getting shot so take my review with a grain of salt

I thought there was too much of that. The 1979 version was way more war and less talking. Seems like a lot of them hanging around didn't really add much and just made the movie longer than it should've been.

looks decent

>WWI tactics included using a tank and an entire squad of flamethrowers to murder a single infantryman who's already fallen in the mud and dropped his firearm

1916 was unironically a better WWI film. The author of the book was a fag who served for like 2 months in a reserve unit behind the lines. Read Ernst Jünger's Storm of Steel for some real WWI Teutonic Nietzschean ubermensch kino

if only they had flooded the country with africans a century earlier, this terrible war wouldn't have happened or something

I wish it were closer to the book

goilsop

the action scenes are super cheesy

I hated 1916 for other reasons, but yes the action scenes in All Quiet didn't mesh very well with the rest of the movie. I have read Storm of Steel it's excellent.
Paths of Glory is the best WW1 movie imo.

my nigga
Remarque served for 1.5 years and was heavily wounded in combat

the only difference between him and Jünger is that Jünger was an officer while Remarque was a poor little shabbos enlisted man

Terrible movie, watch the 1930 version which is certified kino, or even better, read the book.

>>212240574 (OP)
It completely missed the point of the book, and just thought it was "war is hell" and that's that.

You guys mean 1917?

>>212240574 (OP)
This shit was just fucking awful

The ending with Paul going bf1 trench raider elite kit was lowkey retarded

The real WW1 kino

hate to be that fag but the original was just so much better, maybe I tend to hate this because I liked the original so much

I liked how the dumbass zogbots got btfo for stealing the chicken or whatever. kek they think they can loot and plunder civies. get btfo

The intro following the journey of the uniform was a cool idea. The arrival of the tanks created a great atmosphere, even if it's ahistorical in several ways. The peace talks with the merciless French delegation were portrayed well, too. But by and large, almost every deviation from the book makes the movie worse, always causing it to make less sense, be less true to history, etc. From the very beginning, when the filmmakers fumble by letting Paul enlist in 1917 yet there's a war enthusiasm in his town as if it was 1914; right till the very end, when a mustache twirling evil General orders a final assault despite the German gov't having already surrendered, just so that Paul can die on the very second the war ends. Whenever there's a chance to trade authenticity for some shlocky shock value, the film makers take it. Leaves a bad taste.

Literal propaganda. Remake just feels like a general war movie that takes place then.

the guy died

missing one of the best battles in the book, when they're covering from fire in the graves of a graveyard and using caskets as cover
