Liam D It feels like most War Movies but it's entertaining as a movie that you don't mind Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/16/21 Full Review Audience Member Halls of Montezuma is one of the classic war films. Brilliantly acted and directed, this is a must see movie for War film enthusiasts. Director Lewis Milestone crafts a near flawless film that delivers effective thrills. I thought that the film had a well written script that elevated the film's plot. The action sequences were elaborate and exciting. This is a very good film to watch when you have nothing else better to watch, and it is a genre classic despite its flaws. The acting here is quite impressive, and considering that this was made in the 1950's, the film looks good and offers viewers a taste of the chaos of the Pacific Theatre of combat. I personally enjoyed the film and thought it was a among the best War film that I've seen. Halls of Montezuma is not the greatest war film ever made, but it is nonetheless a standout feature worth seeing. The cast itself are wonderful, and they elevate the film's prestige significantly. If you happen to catch this one on TV, by all means watch it. The film is entertaining from start to finish, and it is one of the earlier attempts to capture the chaos of the Second World War on film. If you love these types of films, then check this one out, it may be imperfect in some areas, but it is a picture that is directed by a director who knows how to bring an engaging story to the screen. Genre fans will surely enjoy the film like I did. Halls of Montezuma is an accomplished picture that stills holds up to this day. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Relax. It 's not video game. War is hell. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Halls of Montezuma is not a bad movie, It has the great thrilling war tactics and smart dialogue, it's a movie that maybe plays to safe, just a ordinary unoriginal war picture, but a good attempt. A bitter-sweet film, that somewhat satisfying from time to time. It doesn't offer us any new, except the confused Lt. Carl Anderson (Richard Widmark) who's very often takes painkillers before he goes into battle. Halls of Montezuma was directed by Lewis Milestone, the director who gave us the legendary war epic All Quiet on the Western Front disappoint in a gerne that he seems to be good in. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Distinctly average movie filled with cliched characters that walks a thin line between square-jawed heroics and war-weary endurance. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A load of yawns that make you wonder if you're actually watching a war movie. Actors that are normally quite solid play this one like its a high school drama project. As for plot you might end the film still wondering if it has one.
