Nuremberg: El Juicio del Siglo

This film was incredibly good. The soundtrack was spectacular, in the cinema you could just FEEL the historic weight of the events the film centers around. The pacing was also perfect, for a historic drama, its 140 minutes felt incredibly short. The cast and the acting was great as well. But most importantly, the deeper meaning and the messages of the film are just so important, and were delivered spectacularly. You just walk out with a pit in your stomach.

I still had some minor problems with the film, for example that it has some of the classic Hollywood US-centrism. I appreciate that the film was based mainly on a book, focusing on the relationship between the american psychiatrist and Göring, but I would have loved some more focus on other important figures. We didn't hear one single word from a russian or french judge or prosecutor for example. Some moments also felt a bit too unrealistic or theatrical for me, Jacksons meeting with the pope comes to mind, or the role and treatment of the psychiatrist in some parts. Also, it would have been great if Görings actor could have been german, but Russell Crowe makes up for it with an incredible performance, so I'll let that one go.

All in all the positives far outweigh the negatives for me though. A highly important, thought-provoking and entertaining film.

One of the best films I've seen in years, and I've seen many. Great performances across the board! I loved it! I simply couldn't stop watching! This one has awards written all over it. Malek, Crowe, and Shannon were amazing! I am so glad I went to the theater to see this film. People should not forget history.

Do not listen to the want to be Historians on this site. Was the movie 100% accurate, absolutely not, but neither was Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Fury, etc. However, this movie was very well done and told another side of the Nuremberg trials. My wife is not someone who watches WW2 movies, but she was captivated by this movie. Russel Crowe did a wonderful job playing Goering. Do yourself a favor and go watch the movie and enjoy it. It really is a movie that will stick with you for awhile.

Probably the best new movie I have seen in a very long time. Great performances and interesting plotlines. The "cat and mouse" relationship between Malek and Crowe is ever changing and complex. Very timeless story of the ascent of evil rings very true today. Much different than Judgment at Nuremberg, and maybe not as good, but still a must see movie.

Nuremberg is an entertaining treatment of the trial of top Nazi Hermann Goering. Its aim is to be crowd pleasing but also to touch on serious matters, and it succeeds. Russell Crowe is getting all the attention but Rami Malek worked better for me. John Slattery is commanding. Leo Woodall is attention-getting in a smaller role. He has a scene toward the end of the film that made me cry. There are some inaccuracies. Nuremberg addresses the Nazi persecution of Jews to the exclusion of other victims, including handicapped people, Poles, Soviet POWs, gay people, JWs, and others. But that's a minor complaint about a good movie that manages to both entertain and treat difficult material.
