Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
View MoreNice effects though.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreBy the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
View MorePerhaps the director put Castro as a killer or cold blood assassin, it give us a good point of view about what happened in Cuba and the Castro revolution. After seeing it, one can aware of the importance of Ernesto 'Che' Guevara in the Cuban revolution and why he is now an icon for any who is in favor of this kind of ideology and government. Also, the director show Castro as a father, a husband, an ideologist, but misses very important points in the career to the revolution, when he visited Colombia in representation of the Cuban Comunist Party. Also, misses how important in the Castro's ideology has become Gabriel García Marquez.This movie could be the perfect follow up for Motorcycle Diary, the history of Che Guevara before the revolution in Cuba and his friendship with Fidel
View MoreThis film was well done technically, although the bias was so prevalent toward posing Castro as a monster with a gentleman's intellect that it felt fictional to anyone who understands modern Cuban history, not necessarily even sypathizes with Castro.So, one can put this film on top of the pile of disinformation concerning Cuba and Castro that has been building devotedly in Miami by the displaced Cuban business class who fled Cuba long ago.Castro is a controversial figure that inspires ideas and debate, not two-dimensional character assassination. His greatest friend in the world is Gabriel Garcia Marquez afterall.I noticed another reviewer said Castro was worse than Saddam. This should prove my point quite clearly.
View MoreJust for the note, I'm not Diego Luna, that's just my nickname =PShowtime's Fidel has a good start. Terrible ending. Pretty bad for us lefties. Very yankee-made, which doesn't make the film objective at all. Lefties... be warned. Right wingers... enjoy.
View MoreI must say this movie was quite well presented. It surprised me to see a self centered movie about Fidel Castro even it was produced by an american company.I don't want to talk about what Fidel has done or what he hasn't done as Cuba's president.I liked the movie because it presents a certain episode in Cuba's history. I disagree on the comments presented before about Fidel's actions against his political opponents because it's the director's and the producer's decision what episodes to present in a movie. As far as I know, they're free to talk only about certain moment in Cuba's history. It's ok to disagree on that, but there's no way to criticize it because it will be doing the same people criticizes on Fidel: his lack of acceptance to different points of view and his tolerance to people who don't agree with him.
