Movie Reviews of The Complete Story: World War I
Movie Review: Remarkable Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen other documentaries on World War I. Only this one. Still, I own several documentaries on World War II, and The Complete Story: World War I is superb. It's beautifully narrated, in a pithy, easy-to-understand narrative and the images are first class. This collection is designed to give the viewers a "big picture" of the so-called "War to End all Wars." While it shows all of the major battles, it is not intended for military buffs but to an audience that cares about the politics behind the major military decisions, the role of the ordinary people, their plight, and the spreading of the conflict even to Japan and China. Also, it takes into account the early surrender of Russia and the rise of Lenin's Soviet Union. To sum up, it offers a great panoramic view of the conflict.
My only complain is that this great documentary does not have subtitles. There are some names (especially Turkish, German, and Russian generals and commanders) that are difficult to pronounce or to spell.
Highly recommended!
