Hitler: O Confronto Final

Excellent camera angles and acting in this multi episode World War II Docu-Drama. Each episode covers a different part of real life stories and battles during the War.

This is a very good series.

Having taken in the first 4 series, I can confidently say this was a refreshing and enjoyable format to the WWII documentary drama genre.

Yes, other reviews have pointed out that the tanks used in the reconstructions are incorrect, the uniforms are only 97.3% accurate and the same actors are used to portray different people in different factions across various episodes. Yet, regardless of this, it's nice to see a real tank being used in a reconstruction, the uniforms are but a minor detail that most will not pick up on, and, after all it's a relatively small budget production, not a 700 million dollar Hollywood film.

The reenactments are a breath of fresh air and aid in the retelling of the stories being told. Having watched a lot of documentaries about this war the scenes were a particular highlight instead of the normal approach of reusing footage as in many other documentaires.

8/10, would definitely recommend for those casually interested to long time WWII docu viewer.

The angle is strange! The battles are described in a way that gives the impression that the Germans were winning and then suddenly the Germans lost in the few last minutes! The Germans are also depicted as some kind of supermen that lose for some strange reason! The allied are shown as clueless bunglers and whereas the Germans are show as supreme at planning and strategy!

As a series of short documentaries this is good. It shows some well-known and less knows 'incidents' and they are presented in an interesting way. The storytelling is good, the acting could have been better. I guess the budget wasn't huge, because many of the actors are seen in various roles over various episodes. OK, John Wayne played many roles in many films, but they were different kinds of films and not parts of a series. If watching this series, in one episode an actor is playing the role of a German officer and in the next episode a Canadian one and in another episode he's an American soldier. Also, when watching episodes concerning castles, all have the samen walls. And residential buildings all look the same: not very house-like. Even tank no. 14 seems to take part in many different battles.

My overall opinion: good intention, not so good execution.

The story tellers over dramatize everything. The reenactors were the wrong gear and carry the wrong weapons. It looks like it was put together by a high schooler in AV club with a bunch of his buddies playing the roles. On the plus side, the specifics of the battles are pretty accurate.
