When the credits started rolling on this movie, my wife and I looked at each other and both spontaneously said "That was one of the best movies I have ever seen". Sure, it was inspired by "The Miracle Worker", with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, bit visually it knocks it for six.
Awesome awesome cinematography. Let me say that again. Awesome awesome cinematography. Nearly EVERY shot is a wonder!
Amitabh Bhachchan's acting is his best ever (at least for western audiences), and beats most recent performances from Hollywood.
I don't consider this film a remake, but even if you do, you still need to see it.

This film is one of the funniest Jackie Chan films I have ever seen! It is full of comic action from start to finish, including a skateboard chase, quirky shopping-center mishaps, a nice tribute to Bruce Lee, and some HK pop song. The parody of the popular "Street Fighter" arcade game was particularly amusing. The whole movie is admittedly a little weird and I can't really describe it well. It has a bit of a Bollywood feel about it, but don't let that put you off. This film is in my opinion, one of the best pieces of Kung Foolery on the planet! If you do have broadband I would suggest that you check out the trailer on the IMDb database as it gives an accurate perception of the movie.
Parallel narratives of Hitler's Berlin and Hitler's life being squeezed by the approaching enemy are chillingly told in this well researched portrayal of his last days. Despair, bewilderment, incomprehensible fanaticism, grumbling agreement... the whole gamut of emotions as Hitler's entourage are faced with the inevitable reality of the demise of the 3rd Reich, their dream. Bruno Ganz is stunning as Adolf Hitler, Alexandra Maria Lara seemingly a little too bewildered too much of the time (though it may have been a very accurate portrayal) as his secretary, and Corinna Harfouch and Ulrich Matthes both decidedly scary as the fanatic heads of the Goebbels family. It is probably worthwhile to brush up on the famous names of German WWII before seeing this movie, as the variety of names became a little confusing for this WWII neophyte. Not since Das Boot have I seen a war movie of this intensity. 10/10
