Review: One of the best films ever made and certainly one of Mr Kubricks masterpieces. How many directors can we say that about. Highest recommendation possible.

Summary: Rivals "All Quite" .......
Review: A Great film that grows with stature and age. Impeccably filmed to show just how it was in the trenches in the war to end all wars.A hand picked cast that couldnt be better. Adolph Menjou is the callous general.George Macready is terrific, Douglas shines and the "three" Joseph Turkel, Ralph Meeker and the most eccentric of all Timothy Carey are on target. The Story is based on a novel by Humphrey Cobb. You will not forget this film!

Summary: My favorite war movie next to Platoon
Review: Paths of Glory ranks up there with the top war films of all time. I place it higher than All Quiet on the Western Front and Apocalypse Now (which seems less like a war film and more like a psychadelic trip). Viewers must be cautioned, however, as the label "war film" is misleading. There is almost no action. There is a brief war charge that is not incredibly interesting or intense. However, dialogue and acting is what this movie is about, and through this Kubrick shows the absurdity of war behind the trenches. Those who run the war often cannot relate to the soldiers who fight it. This should have been a better DVD, however, as there is no extra content apart from a small booklet. The movie is great, though, and that is the most important part.

Summary: shattering masterpiece
Review: simply amazing moving film; Douglas has rarely been better. But it's Kubrick who really shines as he guides us through the insanity of war. I think even more importantly, the film captures the true insanity and heartlessness of the military command structure like on other movie. Certainly one of the top 100 films of all-time. A must for any "real" movie fan!

Summary: Outstanding
Review: The tone of this movie will make you understand why we shouldn't have wars, and the sub-plot has to be seen to be really understood, one of Kubricks' most underated films and a standout in the career of Kirk Douglas.

Summary: An emotionally draining, anti-war masterpiece.
Review: I first saw this film as part of a tv double bill with Dr. Strangelove following it, and I did not expect that it would be the classic it truly is. It vividly shows the madness of the First World War and the enormous waste that it was. The accused soldiers become so realistic and unforgetable, especially due to the scenes where they are talking between just the three of them. Kirk Douglas is great as the mens only chance for life, and the ending perfectly sums up the whole bloody conflict. One of Kubrick's very best.

Summary: Great
Review: A great, unforgettable movie. One of Kubrick's masterpieces. The villians of the high command are painted in extremely broad strokes, otherwise I can find no fault with the film.

Summary: not as popular
Review: This movie did not get the attention and popularity it should have received from movie goers. I urge you to watch this film, it is superb.
Rating: 
Summary: Weak Effort
Review: This DVD is pretty bad. The sound is not good and the visual really lacks in all aspects. I think watching the video was the same as the dvd. The only plus is that you get the trailer, but that does not help enough. Kubrick is dead, take his work and make it look as it once did and as great as it could be.
