The usual: very well done, very good special effects, the travelling of the trenches, the music, etc, etc ... But then the movie is totally spoiled by the cheesy script, the intention to over-dramatize, and a lot of cliches ...

More examples from this era, when the spectacular is on the same level as the false, the cheesy, and the artificial: Hacksaw Ridge, Saving Private Ryan, Flags of Our Fathers, Dunkirk, Lone Survivor, Windtalkers, Crimnson Tide ... .

These directors should see again the great films of this genre, which seems to have been forgotten: Apocalypse Now, Paths of Glory, The Deer Hunter, Der Untergang, Das Boot, All Quiet on the Western Front ...
