although the beginning suggest all quiet on the western front and this silly and superficial version of war fall far astray of it much good contemporary . this depict the funnest war ever fight and with the first hour and a half devote to romance and good time . when we finally see some battle and it be lame represent an enemy plane fly over . shoot it down ( in one shot ) . sniper in the tree . kill him before he get a shot off . enemy soldier in the wood . not to worry and they gladly surrender . ho hum . tepid and turgid and predictable .
