Movie Reviews of Paths of Glory
Movie Review: The story is lacking.
Summary: 3 Stars
Visually this movie is quite good. As for the plot it never seems to go very far. You have corrupt officers ordering a suicide mission on "Ant Hill". The attack on the hill failed and an officer branded the units as cowards to be shot. Three men were picked out and shot. I think this film is as weak as "Full Metal Jacket" which also has a limited plot. Kirk Douglas and all the actors make this an entertaining film, but the plot limits the film to where one would not need to watch it more than once. I consider this a companion to "All Quiet on the Western Front", which is another film about World War I. The difference is though that the latter film has a very strong plot pushing the story. We can feel for those characters. I was also disappointed in "Full Metal Jacket" due to the sparce plot. Not sure just who comes up with the stories and all but I am not a fan of the weak and minimal plot.
