Che [2008]

Never expect too much from a movie, otherwise you might end up disappointed, or in my case, frustrated. From the moment I heard that Benicio Del Toro was playing the role of Ernesto Che Guevara, I knew it was going to be big. Boy was I wrong. Now don’t get me wrong, I loved Del Toro’s performance. But what really bothered me was the weak storytelling. Some scenes didn’t make sense at all, while others were simply boring. I really wanted to like this movie, and I was even surprised that it didn’t get much attention from the oscar jury. But after watching it, I totally agree with the jury: “Che” isn’t oscar material, not even close actually…

Rating: 2/4
