Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) by Habibiehakim — 27 Dec 2022

My major problem with the film is in the large part of the second act, I thought the non-war part in the second act of the film super boring and the second war sequence was also became boring because of that, one particular scene in the second boring war sequence that I found silly but their intention is to make it serious and it didn't work for me just like most of the parts of the film, first act and first war sequence was fine and I like the last act and final war better but it's not like I was so amazed by it, there is still a lot of things to appreciate in All Quiet On The Western Front from the amazing visual, incredible performance by all the cast, fantastic sound, and great cinematography, WWI is a real thing and I get the point about the haunting and terrifying experience, but this particular story that parts of it maybe fiction maybe real because only the author of the book knows it and it just doesn't work for me for the most part, great example of a great war movie was both Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan and War Horse, Nolan's Dunkirk, 1917, these are great war movies for me, All Quiet On The Western Front is not, ok first and last act that fills with great performances, visual, cinematography, and sound, but the story and a mess boring second act makes the film fail for me.
