To me, this movie is perfection.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I watched this before our own "election", now it's not funny it's happening

The movie starts great. Hitler is really himself and wakes up in the modern Germany. When the movie continues, the political message of the producers becomes clear and it isn't fun anymore for the neutral viewer. Great humor if you like the way modern Germany wants to rule Europe and the Democratic party would like to rule the USA. Unpleasant if you experience a different reality. But the first half is worth watching.

(Flash Review)Imagine Hitler's attitude to creating a username for an email and "[email protected]" has been taken. He would not be happy. That is a real scene in the film! He also fervently refused "[email protected]". I've never seen a film like this. It brilliantly mixed irreverent comedy with seriousness in a very clever story that only the German's, maybe, would have the right to do. The story opens with Hitler, the Hitler from 1930's, awakening in a garden in the city, confused and interacting with everyday Germans. People's reactions range from expected anger at the image of Hitler to laughing, pointing and waving at what weirdo impersonates Hitler in full military dress. A local news channel discovers him and gives him airtime as an amusing Hitler impersonator who never breaks character. He gets lots of media coverage and begins to do what he did so effectively in the 1930's; where the story turns serious. I've never seen such a movie like this. It was totally captivating, funny and eerie. I highly recommend this!

I read the book a couple of years ago, on the recommendation of a friend, and enjoyed it a lot.Recently having taken out a Netflix account, this showed up on a search. I didn't know anyone had attempted to film it, and it departs in part from the book in one particular way. They mix up the original plot with scenes of the lead character interacting with the German public, and it is a great idea.Oliver Masucci gives a great performance as a revived historical figure whose instincts immediately see him looking to establish power and influence, even before he has really begun to understand the world he now inhabits. Hitler immediately identifies TV and the internet as the potential propaganda tools that he would have loved to have used in WWII if he'd had them. I'd quibble slightly that he's a bit tall for the part, but you can forgive that when you see him at work.This cautionary tale of how people can be swayed by a noisy demagogue offering simplistic, emotive, sloganeering solutions to complex problems has acquired another level of relevance when you see how, in recent years, political campaigns have become so much more dumbed- down than you ever feared. After all, Adolf only wants to make his country great again, right?
