Have Four Hours to Kill? Watch 'Che' The Movie

Best Che photo ever

On the other hand, save some brain cells and avoid this paean to Marxism. You think all those anti-war flicks have been colossal bombs? This could do even worse at the box office.

Really, outside of the hard left, dyed-in-the-wool moonbats, Democrat operatives and Obama supporters, who on earth would spend over four hours watching this stultifying dreck?

No doubt it will be back to the drawings board for “Che,” Steven Soderbergh’s intricately ambitious, defiantly nondramatic four-hour, 18-minute presentation of scenes from the life of revolutionary icon Che Guevara. If the director has gone out of his way to avoid the usual Hollywood biopic conventions, he has also withheld any suggestion of why the charismatic doctor, fighter, diplomat, diarist and intellectual theorist became and remains such a legendary figure; if anything, Che seems diminished by the way he’s portrayed here. Originally announced as two separate films, “The Argentine” and “Guerrilla,” to be released separately, the film was shown as one picture, with intermission, under the title “Che” (although neither this nor any other credits appeared onscreen) in its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. Neither half feels remotely like a satisfying stand-alone film, while the whole offers far too many aggravations for its paltry rewards. Scattered partisans are likely to step forward, but the pic in its current form is a commercial impossibility, except on television or DVD.

Perhaps a better film would endeavor to explain why this murderous, Communist piece of shit is so admired by the left.
