Movie Reviews of The Bunker
Movie Review: Life in The Bunker
Summary: 5 Stars
Before Downfall, there was The Bunker. Nearly the entire movie is watching and listening to Hitler speak about the events at the end of the war. He goes from joy to dispair to suicide in only a few days. It is interesting to see a historical figure in such a situation, with many of his actual words being quoted. We know much about what Hitler did and said near the end because so many of those who were with him were extensively interviewed by Allied intelligence. Not an action adventure, not even much of a war movie, but an excellent portrayl of the events leading up to the end of the war in Europe.Movie Review: Excellent in every way, Hopkins rocks!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This piece is simply amazing, one of the best portraits of the final days of Hitler and the Third Reich. Anthony Hopkins is simply amazing, his performance flawless, you actually forget is him many times. The overall atmosphere is accurate and the historical part complete . I found particulary important the addition of the figure of Hitler's personal dortor, Morell, The guy that kept the dictator going by inyecting drugs of many types. Many believe today that that may be one of the reasons for Hitler's behavior and lack of reason at the end. And excellent production.Movie Review: The Bunker Hits the Mark

Summary: 4 Stars
I found this movie at Big Lots for 3 bucks, I remember the horrendous Hitler movie I saw with Sir Alan Guiness when I was a child with my father so I bought it thinking it was that. I put it in when I got home and I was glued until it concluded. You know when you find a movie special when you miss something or some dialouge and you rewind it just to make sure you didn't miss something. I am 29 years old and not a big history buff or anything, in fact I find a lot of war subjects really boring. This movie however was way different. First off it wasn't Guiness is was Hopkins...I probably should have read the box....whom really portrayed the character in a personable light. I'm not saying you can sympathize with this dude but most movies and people portray him as a crazed psychopath and really Charles Manson like and thats not accurate. The movie was a mini series that was aired back in the early 80's adn thus you have the made for tv movie feel....from the early 80's. I think however that the way the scenes and storyline were contrived were very amazing to where the viewer will feel slightly drained afterwards like they were also on a slow decent. The dialouge was good and someone one here complained about the soundtrack but you rarely pay attention to it, especially with Hopkins dominating screen presence. I highly recommend this for anyone who has ever been interested in what the final days of Hitler were, its not 100% accurate but its pretty close, with Hitlers twitching and shaking more apparant until he simply doesn't care anymore in which he has a nervous breakdown. The set is made as the actual bunker was made, yeah I wikipedia'd everything. The best part of this movie is that like I said it gives you the feeling of the whole scenerio as if you were right in the room with good direction and good screenplay. Only downer is some scenes you wanted to have more depth did not, such as Hitler and Brauns time together...then again I guess behind the door no one saw so they did not speculate.Movie Review: Pretty Credible Job: Hopkins is Hitler
Summary: 4 Stars
History's arch-demon is shown decliniing into suicide with a retinue of true believers that are still left in an underground bunker/pre-crypt. Hopkins always does good work, and has such amzing range. From my admittedly limited personal knowledge of the subject, it seemed to realistically capture yet another instance of the Beast going down and returning to dust. His Soul? Gehenna is my best guess. Hitler, his blushing bride, and the entire Goebbels family all stay to perish with their demi-god and they give their tragically trappped children cyanide, like most of the other poor souls caught in Hitler's personal psychotic flame-out. It's not terribly intense or rippping at all, just a whimpering end to history's most exptreme abuse of political power, and our closest call to being ruled by the devil. Only passing references to the Holocaust.
