Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) by Sittingbullfrog — 29 Oct 2022

I read somewhere that Hollywood's best selling product is sanitized war. While this movie doesn't showcase the squeaky clean war of the MCU or Star Wars it's still very sanitized. This war film is significantly less gory than your average horror film.

Unable or unwilling to show war as it really is brings into sharp relief the other failings of the film particularly the loud and obnoxious horn that blares every few minutes for no reason at all. Of the three versions of "All Quiet On The Western Front" I've seen this is easily the weakest, tamest version.
