A great film. This was a lot better than I thought it would be and a really good insight on the state of the Catholic Church at the time. It reaffirmed what I had already though and gave a neat perspective on the life and times of Martin Luther, a man who was willing to go against the grain for something he believed in. Something more people should do these days.

I am not a religious person, but I do appeciate a good historical biodrama. This is a movie that does Martin Luther a great justice, and shows how this man formed some of his thoughts and ideals that he would use to change the world by taking on the Catholic church. Taking on the Catholic church in those days meant risking death. Amazing that he accomplished so much, and developed such a great following. There are some scenes, however, that depict him as being just slightly out of his mind...but I find a lot of geniuses are slightly off kilter. Martin Luther included....

The director just didn't get it right. The acting sucks too. I liked some of the set pieces, I guess. Pretty tedious story-telling.

A film that has little heart, or sense in it, the Lutheran churches attempt at analyzing the life of Martin Luther fails utterly within the first half hour. The film jumps time frames so quickly that its hard to focus on anything. Secondly, Fiennes gives a terribly boring performance as Luther. I saw him as a courageous figure, but here he is, looking incredibly bored and tired. The other characters are brought in so often and whisked away so quickly (Alfred Molina's preacher for instance) that you can't even get to known any of them at all. Overall this was a terribly stupid film. 112 minutes of dullness that could have been spent finding a cast and crew more dedicated and a script worth making a movie on
