We get a jumbled mess where moments of glory are overrun by suicidal editing. The major territorial gains include Benicio Del Toro, who is magnificent as Che – a mixture of intellectual reserve and twinkling charm.
Part One of Soderbergh’s Che epic dismantles the clichés and myths to craft a dream-like if frustrating essay on the heroism and the claustrophobia of war, perfectly centred by a compelling star performance.
While it certainly takes its time to arrive at a destination of fate, The Argentine is worth the energy invested.
Committed and commanding, slow but stealthy, political and powerful: details are omitted, but Che still sees Soderbergh flexing fierce focus and control, while Del Toro leads with tact and muscle. The full four-hour flick grips; two hours’ll fly by, easy.
If you discover a lot about the process and progress of the revolution, this is definitely not the cultural hero of myth, breathtakingly bathed in revolutionary light.
Una mirada digna y humanizada (si bien un poco idealista) al proceso revolucionario del Ché Guevara en Cuba. Lo mejor: la convincente labor protagónica de Benicio Del Toro.
Ultimately, not only does this epic enlighten but one hopes it may help to rekindle some of the revolutionary spirit that seems to be sadly lacking in contemporary society.
It's not a Hollywood-style movie - it demands patience and proper attention - but it's a great movie, and rewards magnificently.
It’s not a Hollywood-style movie – it demands patience and proper attention – but it’s a great movie, and rewards magnificently.
In the end Che isn’t really about a hero or a man; it’s about the mechanics of guerrilla warfare, the day-to-day workings of an insurgency.
Del Toro and Soderbergh portray the man as something more than just an animated version of the image that festoons the T-shirts of thousands of armchair revolutionaries.
Through it all, the title character is scarcely delineated. The guy who for many of us is a scowling face on a T-shirt worn by student radicals remains that way.
Overall, a worthwhile venture if you have always wanted to know more about Guevara’s controversial legacy, but were unsure where to start.
Soderbergh keeps the story straightforward and subdued, rather than layering in the action and the drama. At times it even gets a bit dull.
An extraordinary performance from Benicio Del Toro anchors this long but gripping film based on a powerful true story.
Superbly directed, intriguingly non-traditional biopic with a terrific central performance from Benicio Del Toro.
The first half of Che 
 is a genuine achievement.
Top CriticSem cometer o erro de usar a guerrilha nas montanhas como desculpa para conferir um caráter de "longa de ação" ao projeto, O Argentino é basicamente um filme de idéias políticas.
Those who have read something about this will get more out of the movies, but it's not compulsory. I saw both parts in one day and the experience was absorbing.
It is far from being a biopic, more a cinematic extrapolation of Che's iconic status, and by that token it may exasperate some. Others will be engrossed by this flawed, sprawling, intriguing movie.
