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. 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

I'm a big fan of both Soderbergh and Del Toro, but this was disappointing. With so much time to work with, only two segments of Che's life are explored, and the lengthy time spent in them leaves you knowing little more about such a cultural icon. It's oddly impersonal and distant. Del Toro gives a fine performance, and some of the cinematography is lovely, but it's wasted on (in my opinion) poor editing and story telling. It's a war film that commits the ultimate crime -- leaving you yawning when you should be engaged and compelled by the characters and action on screen. This is a renter at best, and one best viewed when you can take some breaks from the stilted pace.… Expand

I found this took a fascinating and polarizing figure of history and turned him into sheer boredom.

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!

Unparalleled in execution and unbiasedness , a truly un-hollywood picture uncompromising and meticulously realized. there will never be another like it or not .

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 just plain ignorant!

Utterly different to normak Hollywood fare- Engrossing, as it builds towardsa crescendo.

Captivating for Benicio Del Toro

My taste for this was ruined by 1. Higher (unmet) personal expectations about Che

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

Great film!

'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'). 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
