Sorry, this movie sucks
Charming and brutal
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

View MoreThis is what TV is supposed to be. Interesting and fun. Did Hitler die in the bunker? Who cares! I'm seeing exotic locations and watching modern day Sherlock Holmes types run around and dive under ice. (Tim Kennedy is crazy!)
View MoreThey re-hash all the previously known information from history. There is not much new in what they bring to the table. The field work is the most interesting part of this. I am writing this review mostly out of an intense repulsion to Tim Kennedy, though.Tim Kennedy is like a 4-year old and I have almost quit watching because of him, many times. I cannot stand his stupid exaggerations and overly inflated enthusiasm. It is a mockery and detracts from the authenticity of the series. He has the right background and skills set to compliment the team, but the wrong expressions and reactions.It also seems that many of the locals do not take the team seriously. In addition, there are such insane assumptions made from a scrap of very general information. The deductions are absurd. In Paraguay there is a Germany consulate and they re-name stating back to the person, a "Nazi" consulate. No, it was a GERMAN consulate because the country was not re-named Naziland. It was Germany. Also, to assume that it was a central hub of intense power, just because it was a consulate where there were gatherings of Germans is absurd. Of course there would be gatherings of Germans there. It was the GERMAN consulate. Idiots!And the Bat Signal they found of the schwastika emblazoned lighthouse bulb, I really expected Tim to make a joke about Batman. But then I think that would be trademark infringement. I am sure he did and it was edited out for legal purposes."This wall is thick enough to stop a bullet so it must have been a guard shack to protect some high valued target!" Wow! Then ANY building could qualify as that. Or the disintegrated chair on a rock ledge was not a quiet place to get away from the wife and watch nature, was it? It was some guard post to spot people coming up the valley, though the people would have been invisible due to the canopy of the trees! IDIOTS!!!Stupid exaggerations and wild speculations, one after another, are generated to inflate the drama of an action-less series. I watch this series, though, because of the re-iteration of history and the field work. I just wish they did it without the Shatner-ish dramatizations and that they would say, "Here is what we have already known for decades that is not taught in History classes..." Then when they discover something truly new to add to the corpus of knowledge on the subject we can all get truly excited and cheer them on!
View MoreNo real investigative reporting.... a complete joke.. yet I still keep watching..
View MoreI saw this as a comedy, I laughed so much, so I give this a rating of seven...I like computer adventure games, but some of them are still better than this one. They go into a forest and "suddenly" find a ruined building, wow, this must be a Nazi hideout. They find "hidden" metal doors, that nobody before them found! But they don't have to look for the key. They find "hidden" passages near the bunker, with almost unknown advanced tools like: The knock of the finger on the wall, like John Cleese... And then they find an entrance, which is known already to everybody. Hilarious! Wow, do you see this! This must be it! All accompanied by bombastic hitting heavy drums, and dramatic music, making it almost impossible to understand what they are saying... Everything they find is immediately proof of something.And they have an incredible team of experts, experts who constantly look and nod if they just have heard, from our main Hero, about the invention of the wheel...And we have the muscle man, who can swim, climb, crawl, dive everywhere, like he has just been recruited from Hawaii five-O...Oh man, I enjoyed it! But not how they meant it to be I suppose...
