    "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

    My knowledge of Hitlers life and Germanys History is not yet to that level of what I want it to be, but basing from what Ive already read and know, its actually a pre...( read more)tty good film. Its NOT perfect, but its good enough to give you goosebumps.

    I want to give this movie a perfect 5, but I feel that there were some scenes that I couldnt really agree upon. About the time of World War I when Hitler was a messenger, and the questionable "script" they placed to what little they actually touched on Hitlers childhood.

    The movie subltly, and slowly gives out some sort of misinformation, you might call it an opinionated character bashing, which I think is so not necessary for this type of film and story. Hitler was a madman, but I think there is no need for the "evil exaggeration", but as far as the casting, acting and directing went, it was perfect, its just really the slight alterations on the story that made me slash off half a star in my rating.

    This is a 2 part film, and its 3 hours long, but nonetheless interesting. When the movie was about to end, I thought that I was gonna be left hangging, but they did make up for it before the credits rolled in.

    (I have a fascination for this slice of history, mainly because I want to understand and know the truth about what happened during that time. I feel robbed of this story/knowledge because exclusive all girls catholic schools dont put this on the curriculumn.)

    Best viewed back to back with Hitler - eine Karriere, which is a very interesting and intriguing old documentary that actually shows the real people as themselves.

    *Ill just redo this review some other time. Too tired to make a proper one../font>

    Interesante historia. Apegada a la mayoria de las biografías. Pero Robert Carlyle le da un toque nada realista. Muy teatral. No refleja al verdadero personaje... como siempre sucede con este tipo de peliculas.

    "Lo único que se necesita para que el mal triunfe es que los hombres buenos no hagan nada."

    This is a good work to describe hitler as much as it's true story. But the less point is the character building of Hitler him self doesn't seem to be original. He's so extreem indeed. But overall, it's a nice work to watch, it's describe Hitler even more real

    This is the best Hitler movie ever. I saw this movie in the German language so I didn?t know the original version how is Roberts?s voice but in German he was a spectacular Hitler. I think Robert Carlyle was absolutely credible as Hitler.
