Passchendaele, a review by Rich

Passchendaele





Canadian film told with compassion and noble ambition, certainly a story that on paper appears more interesting than it did on the big screen. To say the special feature 'the road to Passchendaele' available from the extras is twice as good as the film is no exaggeration, it is one of the better making-of features I have seen before, and is wholly more memorable than a lot of the actual film.
The war scenes in the movie, gruesome muddy trench warfare with pointless but courageous deaths, are simply amazing, intense, and challenge Saving Private Ryan for quality, and pull this film above what could of been a quite tedious affair. Unfortunately the romance between the leads continually muffles the film, is unbelievable, and eventually causes what could have been a great war film to misfire.

I am always happy when I see a new animated superhero movie released. While I enjoyed this one... it isn't one that will rank up there with my favorites. The storyline is good... but not thrilling. I really can't put my finger on it... but there is something about the animation that didn't impress me as much as they usually do. It seems something was just off about it. This isn't a good sign... but the highlight of this film for me was the fact that Lois Lane was voiced by Pauley Perrette who plays my favorite character on NCIS. But even with all this said, I didn't hate this film. I guess I would say just slightly disappointed in it.

I first watched this series when it first aired in the 90s. It's from and with the famous German comedian Otto Waalkes. In this series the stetches were mainly Otto inserted (Forrest Gump style) in the German movies based on Edgar Wallaces books, which were quite famous. These movie also made Klaus Kinski famous.
The insertion works quite well. Probably the series came about because of the success of Forrest Gump.
