Political nuance is given up in this episode in favour of observing the unravelling of a lost cause, if not indeed a folly. Although this too has its fascinations, lying more in questions of the character and motives of the man himself, in the end it is less interesting than the road to victory explored in the first episode.

Improves a bit from the pointless first part, but the screenplay is still rather bad. Benicio is still brilliant.

So slow (moreso than pt 1) and procedural that it will probably have a collateral effect of making all the t-shirt wearing morons turn in their commie cards.

Drags more then part one. Just wish a bit more was done.

Like History homework - a bit dull in places but ultimately you will learn something and be a better person for it.

Chiming in with others about how everything interesting was captured in the first part of the biopic. This was endless scenes of jungle trekking, Che lecturing his troops about discipline, and firefights between faceless opponents. Way too dry and lacking even any political scheming to satisfy a Cold War nerd like myself. Maybe intercut Bolivia with his time in the Congo, or presiding over the torture/executions of right-wing Cubans to explore the contradictions in his legend? I don't know.

"Too emotionally dry to embrace but too ingenious to dismiss, Che is a fascinating, problematic film." - Fernando F. Croce

Completely pointless, everything that Soderbergh wanted to say was done in the first part, and even then, pretty much everything was done much better in part one.

It's not bad; as part one, this is a great exercise in pure cinema and a fascinating visualization of how guerrilla warfare works. But Part One did all that before, much better and without being so boring (even though there's enough material here to make a gripping story). It aches me to rate it so low compared to the first half but I realy couldn't care less for this film and getting through it was a tedious task. If anything, it only makes the first part look bad. Shame on you Soderbergh.

Not nearly as good as its predecessor. The story needs to be told though.

Like the first film Che has superb and interesting moments but it never seems to come together for the most part. Well, this isn't quite true. The final 45 minutes of Che: Part Two feel quite solid but the first part of the film does got a bit tedious, especially after watching the similarly long Che: Part One. Still, Soderbergh manages to make the film watchable at least once.

Excellent.

surely, not as good as the part one, but very fine for those who, love to know more and see clearly about the last days of Ernesto Che Guevara.

The filmmaker Steven Soderbergh hits in to show the history of Che, not the myth. Simple and honest, Che is an almost documentary work, telling how he lived and died the icon, in a film technically perfect.

The second part to this massive epic is, indeed, a fantastic effort. Though at times it's obvious its too ambitious for its own good it blazes along, considering its length, at a decent pace. The narrative structure is much more streamlined and also less compelling than The Argentine, which is excellent in both of those respects. What makes Guerrilla great is that you really see the desperation Che and his companions go through, and it's very upsetting.

My review is based on the 'double feature', two-part, viewing... Which ran at about 4 1/2 hours!!! Butt numbing; To say the least... This one is only for the Benicio del Toro fans. (Which I am...) But if you want to see something worth watching, go back to '07's THINGS WE LOST IN THE FIRE...

I hate Commies

Too self-indulgent to be a classic. Del Toro is good, though.

man oh man this guy lived a hard life.

Watching "Guerrilla" in marathon format with "The Argentine" does not help the film. Also starting with a map, this time of Bolivia, it again sets the slow pace of the film. This one, even slower than the prior. Che, now working mostly undercover, is shown as even more of a hero than he was in the film prior. It does nothing to show the other side of the man, who made great ethical sacrifices to reach, what he believed to be, a greater good. For most of the film, it feels as if nothing happens.

The first part of the two films was boring. This was excruciatingly boring. I can't stress enough how boring, and flat the film is. It feels like a series of scenes that were cut from the film, perhaps Soderbergh is viciously withholding the actual movie, because I cannot believe how slow the film was. Franka Potente's misuse was almost criminal, but there was a glimmer, in the last 10 minutes or so, of something great, and Benicio was solid, but these films were a failure.
