Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

"Siegfried" is a movie from 10 years ago which serves as a comedic parody of the famous German Nibelungen-Sage. This tale has been put on screen many times and the most famous version is maybe also the oldest, namely the one by Fritz Lang. The lead actor here, however, is not Paul Richter, but Tom Gerhardt, one of Germany's most known comedians. When this was made, Gerhardt was still working on his long-running sitcom "Hausmeister Krause". The director is Sven Unterwaldt Jr., who has worked on several Otto movies and also a lot with Atze Schröder. Fittingly these two appear as voice actors in small roles in "Siegfried". Gerhardt also made the script, together with the writer of "Die unendliche Geschichte".Unfortunately, the whole story is as forgettable as Gerhardt's acting range is limited. He usually plays simple, not very brought, but somewhat likable characters. If you are familiar with German comedy, you will not only find Waalkes and (the unbearable) Atze Schröder here, but also Markus Maria Profitlich, Mirco Nontschew, Mirja Boes and Janine Kunze. The latter was also a regular on "Hausmeister Krause". Apart from them I found Dorkas Kiefer, Jan Sosniok and Elmar Wepper also familiar faces/voices.As a whole however, I found this rather disappointing. The problem is not that the story wasn't accurate. This was sort of expected. No Brunhild and Siegfried does not die. The real problem is that it was really not very funny during these slightly-under-90 minutes. Also the pig, which was cute could have been a much better addition without the annoying (obviously intended as funny too) voice. Also these butt-kissing scenes were the weirdest thing ever. St least he made the right choice in the end. Daniela Wutte looked stunning here. Still, not recommended.

Finally a funny German movie worth watching! I usually don't laugh or even smile when watching a movie - even if it's a funny one - but Siegfried made me laugh a few times! It's funny, amusing, a movie you just watch without thinking about it! Very good German is necessary to understand it fully! The whole movie is in "Rheinländisch" dialect, and jokes may not be understood completely. The funniest is the pig. A very cute and smart character. Very funny the part where the pig teaches Siegfried how to kiss... A must see! Mimi once pulls Siggi (Siegfried) out of the water and decides to raise him. He discovers that Siggi is extremely strong, but unfortunately does not know how to deal with his powers. When falling in love with princess Kriemhild the movie really starts. She does not want to marry the nerd, so everybody's trying hard to get rid of him.

This movie is not made for international broadcast, its just Tom Gerhard in his favorite foolish role. The story is simple and the jokes aren't very intelligent, in fact only primitive. But if you want to turn off your brain, maybe you can enjoy the hole thing. Tom Gerhard is the best comedian playing a "kölsch"(colonian) primitive.The story is a stultification of the old German legend about Siegfried and the treasure of the Nibelungen. The plot is easy to summaries, a stupid adopted son of a blacksmith, who is the strongest man on earth meets accidentally a beautiful princess, he falls in love in her and tries to fulfill some tasks to marry her. But the problem is the princess doesn't want to marry this stupid guy. So her worshiper from the castle does anything to stop and kill Siegfried.

Yes, that pretty much sums it up. I really thought 'Sieben Zwerge' was an all time low, that could not be surpassed by anything. Alas, i was wrong. Before I watched this a friend of mine joked that they are going to use the jokes which were too bad for 'Sieben Zwerge' in this movie and THEY ACTUALLY DID. The humor was limited to farting, kissing the butt of an annoying, talking baby pig and punching people in the face (there was more, but that's the level we are talking about). If whoever is responsible for writing this crap reads this review: A JOKE Doesn't BECOME BETTER IF YOU REPEAT IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. This time I'm pretty much certain that it's impossible to make a movie with worse jokes. After it was over i felt physically sick.What else is there to say? If you liked 'Sieben Zwerge' and 'Traumschiff Surprise', then, by all means, go and watch this movie, or, even better, help to clean up the gene pool and shoot yourself. Now I'm going to check if I can somehow sue Sven Unterwaldt for crimes against humanity in The Hague.
