Summary: Che Lives As They Never Wanted ....
Review: A must-have for any disciple of Che', an informative, inspiring and incredible documentary, culminating in heartbreaking footage of the ultimate sacrifice in Vallegrande.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Truth Behind the Icon
Review: Before watching this film, I knew little about Che aside from the fact that he was a radical icon. Now I see why. Not only to we learn a lot about Che, but we hear him for ourselves-and how eloquent he was! His split with Castro and the Russians is seldom ever discussed and this film should help people understand that the only real ideology that Che was dedicated to was Latin American independence. "Viva Santo Ernesto!"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Che 4 ever
Review: Che Guevara is the ultimate hero's people... Why?? because nobody has lived a live like his and no one ever will, You will never see people around the world wearing a Bush t-shirt because he is no hero to nobody, he only serves the interests of the powerful and was born with power and bought his way to the top (That's why a college student with a "C" grade average is ruling the U.S.!!!)... in the other hand Che was always a free man and will live forever in the hearth of the truly free people of the world!!!
Che will outlive the imperialists pigs in the white house and the Gusanos in Florida!!!

Summary: a damn good biography
Review: contrary to the person that wrote "the narrator's voice was too dramatic"it is perfect.i do wish that they would have shown all of che's un speech,but what the hell.NOW one thing that i found very interesting,is mr.richard alarcon aka benigno.this guy portray's himself like if he was che's brother.i had the chance of getting my hands on a documentary on che imported from cuba.unfortunately its all in spanish with no subtitles.its called entre leyendas.this documentary is a joke.this shows the only three survivors from the bolivian campaign talking about che.of course this interview was filmed in cuba.pombo,tamayo,and none other than,guess who?richard alarcon(benigno).this guy tells one story in the cuban documentary,then in investigating a legend,in exile of course,he tells a totally different story about the final battle.either way this documentary is awesome.take what benigno says with a grain of salt because he is full of crap.other than that this film is very informative.remember che left cuba because he didnt want any part of what castro and the soviet union were doing to the island that he(being from argentina)helped,in his mind to liberate............HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE,PATRIA O MUERTE!!! (dvd edition)

Summary: Is It A Travelogue or a Biography?
Review: If are interested in Che's journeys, then you'll appreciate this movie. But it's an insipid biography of his life.

The problem is not merely that the film covers the most introductory aspects of Che's life. The principal problem is that the introduction offers no insight about Che that viewers cannot assume themselves without the film. Look at a pop poster of Che, make the usual cliché assumptions about a political radical and you'll have as much insight about Che as this film presents.

Summary: Not Worth It!
Review: If only I had been a movie star like Che. Kudos for great cinematography and excellant punch lines especially the ones about being the "most idolized revolutionary of the 20th century" and that "capitalism exploits the poor".

While I may not have had movie star looks I was a far better actor that he was.

For those in an a really revolutionary mood I suggest "Reds" and The Road to Serfdom both are more accurate portrails of the problems/failures of the communism/socialism systems.

Summary: Che by the numbers .
Review: If your just discovering Che Guevaras life and wnat a good over
view then this is for you . If your a long time Che admirer there
is some very interesting interviews and some rarely seen footage,
the last 10 minutes are very moving . Bad points the very cheesey commentry lets this down , but not enough to stop you buying this worhtwhile video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: un film qui marque votre vie ou du moins laisse sa trace
Review: j'ai vue ce film il y a quelques mois deja, je dirais meme deux fois et je dois avouer que j'ai ete boulversee: la vie de cet homme m'a facine au plus haut point, son sens morale, sa droiture, son humanisme exaserbe,...Tout m'a seduit,m'a donne l'envie d'agir.Biensur mes impressions sont subjectives mais dans ce monde ou la superficialite est de mise, ce film est comme une bouffee d'authenticite et d'idealisme.Je ne sais pas si je peux ou si je dois encore croire en cet ideologie dans ce monde de fastes d'artifices mais je le veux encore.A vous qui me lisez pardonner mon emphase et partagez ma sympathie pour cette figure du xxeme siecle et la merveilleuse facon dont elle a ete retransmise par ce film.
