Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

braddugg A terrific film that raises the spirit of a revolutionary to the hilt.This movie is a 2 part biopic that runs nearly four and a half hours. When I saw it for the first time at home on in 2009, I just took a ten-minute break after the completion of the first part and was dying to start the second part. After finishing the movie viewing, I was overwhelmed. I was very happy; there is an inspiration that I must make my life worth before I die. There is an incentive to value life.Ernesto Che Guevara is one of the most inspirational revolutionaries of the centuries the world over. The way he organized and won guerrilla wars was something that was a shock to many regimes in the American continents. The depiction of Che by Benicio Del Toro is something that took me by a surprise. Benicio Del Toro was intrepid in playing Che. Never did I feel, I was seeing an actor, all through it was just Che.The makeup was superlative. For the first ten minutes of the second part of the film, I was stunned. I could not recognize who is playing the character. So right is the disguise and so great is the acting. Cinematography and art direction in this could be used as references for generations to come. The film took me into 1950's and 1960's and made live in those times.From the word go to the last frame, there is perfection in craft technically. The spirit of revolution is in place. Cuba, Fidel Castro, Revolution, Bolivia, UN conference, Che, wow so many overwhelming elements.Kudos to Steven Soderbergh and perhaps this is his finest effort. Also to Benicio Del Toro. Benicio, you will live on as Che forever.A 5/5 for my favorite revolutionary films. One of the all-time great films this.

Leofwine_draca The second film of Soderbergh's two-parter, this one charts the adventures of Che Guevara as he attempts to lead a rebellion to top the Bolivian government, in much the same way as his successful acts in Cuba (depicted in CHE: PART ONE). The film is virtually indistinguishable from the first, with the same realistic, documentary-style approach to the material which makes it an authentic and compelling history lesson.If the first film documented Che's rise and rise to fame and success, this depicts his gradual fall, leading to a climax which is both inevitable and emotionally devastating. I think this is the better film of the two, as it does away with the annoying black-and-white cut-aways of the first to concentrate on a thorough depiction of Che's fight for what he sees as justice. This is a definitive retelling of the material.

ericjg623 Apparently this movie (well, both of them, actually) completely bombed at the box office. Outside of a few ex-hippies and leftie grad students at Berkeley, no one saw this movie. And, in the time since, it has disappeared from the public scene. The fact that this movie has only 52 comments on this site (The Phantom Menace has nearly 4,000) shows what little effect it has had on the public consciousness.In contrast, there's another movie about a GENUINE Freedom Fighter that did much better. I'm talking, of course, about "Braveheart". That movie became an international blockbuster, earned an Oscar for Best Picture, and his still beloved by millions of fans to this day. William Wallace was everything Che wasn't, a genuine patriot fighting against a foreign tyrant who oppressed and abused the people against their will. Che was a faux revolutionary who, after helping turn one country (Cuba) into a totalitarian dictatorship, then went abroad and tried to use force to impose his evil ideology on the people of other countries, who, to their credit, wanted none of it.In sum, Wallace was the Real Deal, and is still an inspiration to true freedom lovers to this day. Che was just another Marxist turd, a megalomaniac with a Messiah complex, a guy whose image appears on the T-shirts of assorted self-proclaimed "Hipsters" and pseudo-intellectuals who think Cuba is great because they have government run health care but, rather than move there and enjoy the fruits of the great People's Workers' Paradise, sit here at home and write angry screeds about the very country (America) that, quite unlike Castro's Cuba, gives them the freedom of speech to do so.

badajoz-1 Just like part One, a dramatised documentary of such sanitised material that it quickly becomes, and remains, an exceedingly boring watch. No matter del Toro's acting, the script is devoid of any real insight into Che - no, Mr Soderbergh, it is not enough just to have made the film, it has to take on the issues regarding this iconic figure, and you don't!!! The film just watches a bunch of guerillas hopelessly meandering around Bolivia without a strategy or even a workable plan to overturn the regime - just like the first part, so why did one succeed and not the other? A couple of passing answers are hinted at, but nothing to stir or engage the viewer. And what was the point of not showing Che's end, with all the curious onlookers at his naked dead body? Answers please on a postcard! It was only the fact that the US had executed Bin Laden in similar vein and dumped the body that there was any resonance to the tame ending.
