Che: Part Two (2008)
3/10
Even more boring than Part I
29 October 2012
"Che Part II" follows Che Guevara as he sneaks himself into Bolivia and gets together a gorilla force to fight for all that is Marxist in South America.

It suffers from the same drab, boring writing, scene selection, and overall boringness of part I. Let's face it folks, Benicio Del Toro only won an award from this 2 movie snoozefest because Europeans now worship at the alter of anything leftist.

The biggest problem with this 2 part movie is that it leaves out the story between the Cuban Revolution, and his reappearance in Bolivia. The time period that is well known to Cuban refugees, and always left out by marxist supporters. That is the part of history where Che gets a reputation as being quite the Inhumane humanitarian. Its the time when he rules over a prison where people are stripped of all human rights and killed. The also neglected to write in the part of history where Fidel agrees to release political prisoners, but because he and Che had already did what communist nations do, they call it a "purge" but most people call it murder, he just send all his criminals to Miami.

They do again get one thing right in part 2 as they did in part 1. They portrayed Che as he was, a poor military leader. I also think though that they may have really ignored a real reason for leaving Cuba. That is called EGO. Che had a big ego. This may explain why Che just disappears and later Castro reads his letter. After his speech at the U.N. Fidel Castro might have felt that Che may get more famous and popular than him, that would explain why there wasn't a ton of Cuban help for his endeavor. Che was a devout marxist and believed in the cause. I can't argue that, but he may have been looking to become a bigger figure than Castro, and wanted to lead a "Domino effect" army of communist revolutions with himself as leader and dictator. It may just be possible.

Again, both movies together make for a most boring 4 hours of bad dialog (in Spanish), dull scenes, little to no action, and a real sense of ,"Why did I waste my time watching this crap?" and " Why would anyone waste this much film and never really entertain the viewer at all?" "Che part II is just the last 2 hours of 4 that you will never get back.
