Good but not for everyone
By a customer from Leeds , 01 Jan 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
Just came back from a pre-screening of both parts and have to say that I spent great five hours in the cinema. This (first) part tells about Che’s story in Cuba at the beginning of the revolution. I advise you to read about Che before you go to see this movie because there is no introduction to his life at all. Without knowing a bit about the most recognized revolutionist you may feel like you missed the first hour. The movie is made well and you won’t get bored at all. Really good effort from Soderbergh. Benicio’s performance was outstanding. Probably his best till now...?? Be prepared to read subtitles most of the time unless you know Spanish. One more thing. If you know Che only from your t-shirt print then maybe it is not the best choice for you to see this film. Better choose Spiderman 7 or sth like that...- Was this review helpful to you?

(128)Superb But A Bit Dull
By a customer , 02 Sep 2012From a learning point of view I did really enjoy this film but it seemed a bit dull for extended periods of time. The acting was superb though and that kept me hanging in there.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dull Che
By Routemaster (87 reviews) from Cambridge , 27 Aug 2012I was really looking forward to this film; but the title says it all - took a long time to get going and by the time it did I'd lost interest; so much so I've deleted part 2 from my love film list.- Was this review helpful to you?

Doctors revolutions took place in several countries in 1950s
By a customer , 13 May 2012The film focuses entirely on military operations inside the jungle of Cuba which is very nice. Group of workers are formed and develop gradually like an evolutionary process. Care, treatment and welfare are given priority which is a religious missionary principle and also a good standard of medical practice by a doctor. It shows very good principles of charity for humanitarian cause and it surely won the hearts of local population. What is disappointing is that the struggle later changes into armed conflict and war against US. The film does not show the situation of the world at that time. Similar revolution and guerilla movements also took place at the same time in other countries, for exmple in Nyasaland ( now Malawi) led by Dr Hastings Banda and Chipembere, In Northern Rhodesia ( now Zambia), Tanganyika ( now Tanzania), Kenya, Uganda and possibly other countries. The period from 1950s to late 1960s saw independence of many countries from colonial rule.- Was this review helpful to you?

A great film but not a documentary.
By a customer , 23 Feb 2012This is a great film with great performances, you can read other reviews to see that. However some of these reviews seem to be labouring under the illusion this is some kind of documentary. Che in real life was a ruthless killer, a talented tactician and was self obsessed. Just bear in mind that when you watch this you are watching entertainment, like Ghostbusters or Gladiator.- Was this review helpful to you?

This film does not depict the truth!
By Elcubanito (1 review) , 22 Jan 2012Che what can I say about this film. Boring film that does not convey the actual truth of la revolucion! Che being portrayed as a much nicer person than he was, when he was an actual fact the biggest assasin in cuba. Not recommended to people who are wanting to know the truth about Che Guevara!
Viva mi cuba libre!!- Was this review helpful to you?
