Outstanding performance by Benicio del Toro (Cannes winner for this one). Great movie, tells you about the Che Guevara´s revolutionary life, the guerrilla fights and the Cuban revolution.

Great movie, tells you about the Che Guevara´s revolutionary life, the guerrilla fights and the Cuban revolution. I think you have to watch the film first and then comment something about it, ussually the conservators talks crap about any attempt to show the real deal about Che Guevara (objective way, like Soderbergh did ). And this attempt is ambitious and worthy.… Expand

Excellent film! It's fascinating to watch the ideologues, like those at the New York Post come out of the woodwork to get their digs in...oh well, they wouldn't be the Post if they were objective!

Fantastic and inspiring. Captures the idiolistic feelings and hopes of a reveloution in the first part and in the second it tears them apart.

Epic Filmmaking in every sense. Soderbergh has crafted his Godfather for the new century. Amazing in every detail with a brilliant Benicio Del Toro as Che. Don't talk about Oscar snubs for The Dark Knight and WALL-E, nothing for Che is Epic Filmmaking in every sense. Soderbergh has crafted his Godfather for the new century.

The movie tells you about the life of Che Guevara, the guerrilla warrior who made the revolution in Cuba. But this time is the Che´s point of view (it´s based on a book wrote by himself). So you won´t see the typical The movie tells you about the life of Che Guevara, the guerrilla warrior who made the revolution in Cuba. But this time is the Che´s point of view (it´s based on a book wrote by himself). So you won´t see the typical american movie against Cuba, you´ll see one latin american movie (it´s in spanish) trying to tell Guevara´s revolutionary life in 4 hours (starts when he know Fidel Castro and finish when he dies excecuted). The work of Benicio Del Toro is great, he´s just like che Guevara in person, even with the same accent and look (the best choice for the character). He won the best actor award in Cannes for this performance. Steven Soderbergh made an ambitious film, and he got it right. A little long, but in the rest of the world is splitted in 2 parts. In USA is a 4 hours movie with limited distribution (unfortunally, maybe for the language or the explicit -revolutionary- content of the movie)… Expand

'Che' is an amazing journey, and is Soderbergh's masterpiece!

FYI, the TV Guide review you put up is actually for a 1969 movie called "Che!" starring Jack Palance. Thought you might want to fix that.

This is strangely dull for a biopic of such an interesting historical figure. I didn't hate it. The pace could be described as languid, and it goes on for 5 hours (in two parts on DVD; 'The Argentine', 'Guerilla').

The pace could be described as languid, and it goes on for 5 hours (in two parts on DVD; 'The Argentine', 'Guerilla'). Well shot and has the tinge of authenticity. More edifying than entertaining. I'm glad i watched it but i don't need to watch it again… Expand
