I feel in this more than anything, Kubrick defined the style that marks his career from here on in. The ending of this story is what makes it an iconic anti-war movie.

A truly remarkable movie about the absurdity of war and the fragility of human psyche during hard times. Powerful ending.

Intelligently made and well-acted, but it somehow doesn't carry the emotional wallop that it should, perhaps because it feels rather too calculated an exploration of human vanity.

After I watched Paths of Glory and Spartacus in order, I can say it clear I prefer "Paths of Glory" more.

Not one of Kubrick's better films. However, it still captured me, just not in the usual Kubrickian way. Oh his cinematography is there all right, but something was a bit off for me...

This movie made my blood boil, and the ending scene gave me chills. Kirk Douglas is amazing! I love how he's still around with us today.

One of Kubrick's best, even though it seems to get lost in the shuffle with his other "experimental" or risque films.

One of Stanley Kubrick's least-known is also one of his best. A fantastic story and superb cast come together in a nearly brilliant picture. Seeing Kubrick's signature style take shape was also great. If you're not brimming with anger once the inevitable happens you're dead inside. And if there's not a single tear running down your face in the bar room scene at the end, you're not human...

A simple little film with lots of complexities. On it's way to being one of my favorite Kubricks.

A timeless masterpiece by the late, great Stanley Kubrick; stunning script, direction, and cinematography, excellent acting and characterization. A classic.

I would agree with Caleb below, this film is much more of a statement against ignorance in leadership rather than war itself. Like usual, Kubrick has interesting camera work to compliment a satisfying yet emotionally frustrating story. The film is good enough to make me forget that all these French soldiers are speaking English.

Quite an amazing film. It's nice to see a war film that focuses on the experiences of the men rather than the experience of war itself.

You have to admire how Kubrick's body of work is so damn impressive that movies as good as this (and Barry Lyndon) can get overshadowed.

Funny how an American financed film, with an American Actor playing a "French Colonal" in an English film about FRENCH MILARTY CORRUPTION. MMMM? Okay it was banned in France. What if it was an American Colonal, and it was about American miltary corruption. MMMM? Good ol' USA, the propaganda machine. Kubrick as an auteur dropped a few notches in my book for subjecting himself to his HOLLYWOOD MASTERS.
