Absolutely horrible! Not only did the love story destroy the movie, but it was definately not the great depiction of the war that some claim it to be.

This movie was great. I dealt with a couple of themes that I think people miss out on. One, leaving people behind to fight in a war, two dealing with war when you come home, people not understanding what you have gone through and finally making a difficult decision to go to war. The fighting in the trenchs rival "Saving Private Ryan" for accuracy. Also this is a great piece of Canadian history. It is about time a Canadian made a great film about our history instead of complaining about it

I'm sorry to say this film is an unmitigated disaster. I was looking forward to this movie and was really hoping that it would be something special. I was terribly disappointed. It's an embarrassing effort from Paul Gross. Poorly written dialogue, implausible plot, wooden cliched acting, need I go on?

The ending is absolutely ridiculous; Gross determinedly dashes across no man's land, hauls down the wounded soldier - who is strapped to a cross and traverses again back through no man's

Poor, Poor movie...If you are going to name a movie "Passchendaele", then let's make it about Passchendaele. Let's show what are troops went through, the trench warfare, the disease, the torment, the carnage. Let's explore the third battle of Ypres on the screen. How the canadians, like Vimy Ridge, were the only ones to take the decimated town, only to lose it again the following spring. Do we really need the love story? I mean we all know what these soliders left behind, we all know what wars do to life at home (We are currently in a war) But I don't think people really know, what went on in the killing fields of Europe. The massive tunneling, stuck in a trench for days, artillery bo

A beautiful film - thanks for bringing Canadian History to life Paul! Brilliant acting, captivating. Not just a war film, but a look at how war affects communities, love and difficult decisions people must make in war times.
