The central section devoted to training in Egypt sags badly through its crass buddy antics and its crude caricatures of wogs and pommies.

One of the best war films ever made....a triumph for the AFIJuly 07, 2010
Gallipoli is Australia's quintessential war movie that works as a stirring tribute to the ANZAC's and a condemnation of the travesty which is war.January 18, 2010
Well acted and, within its limited terms, well made, Gallipoli represents a failure of nerve as well as design.August 18, 2016
Is not just a war film, it aims to be much more than a personal self-improvement story. [Full review in Spanish]January 18, 2010

Weir's work has a delicacy, gentleness, even wispiness that would seem not well suited to the subject. And yet his film has an uncommon beauty, warmth, and immediacy, and a touch of the mysterious, too.January 18, 2010
Both a fitting testimony to the courage of the thousands of Australians and New Zealanders who died fighting for their country and one of the most powerful cinematic examinations of the futility and tragic cost of war.December 19, 2010
Set in 1915, Weir's excellent anti-war film centers on the disastrous battle of Gallipoli, featuring an excellent performance by Mel Gibson as a young fleet-footed soldier
