This movie is based on true facts, which are historically very relevant. Focus is thereby put on several important events that took place during WW2.

The acting was pretty good. I must say though that the actor that plays the role of Hitler, unfortunately does not come close to what we have seen in the movie "Der Untergang".

The props, costumes, buildings etc. All made it look like it is taking place during the 1930's and 40's. One can clearly see that much effort has been put in this.

Mistakes have also been made. Basic mistakes are made like using both the names Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad, whilst they only should have used the latter. Other mistakes are e.g. Adolf Hitler showing no signs of having Parkinson's Disease - i.e. A trembling hand - in the bunker scenes.

Overall, I found the movie a bit underwhelming. I personally think it may have to do with a too short of a time and a low budget for depicting so many impactful historical events. I therefore can only score this movie 6.3/10, resulting in a 6-star IMDb rating.

I however advise anyone with an interest in what happened during WW2 to watch this movie. Until there is a better alternative, it is still the best way to get an idea of the importance of Joseph Goebbels - and his use of propaganda - during WW2. I hope though that we will see in the future a mini-series, which gives the viewer a better insight on the use of propaganda during WW2. Because a movie of 2 hours seems to be really too short when you want to cover a topic like Goebbels during WW2.

A competitor to ''der Untergang'', its at the same level of importance, and gives you new angles viewing the participants of 2nd world war germany. I appraise the use of authentic media reels edited into the screenplay, the goebbles caracter are portrayed in an admireable manner, the only thing that draws down is the meek edition of herr hitler, who was known for his hysterical rage whenever or whatever, especially near the end of his lifetime, and i couldnt find anymore than stubborn dictatorship in this film. So a small blunder made by the caster and director, hitler is too nice in this film...

allthough that said, it is a film that is a must see, and watch ''der untergang'' afterwards, then you have the whole order of nazicriminals of that era. A recommend from the grumpy old man.
