I saw it in Germany the first week it opened, and I went back to see it again the next day. I was very much impressed by the movie. Ganz IS Hitler in the movie, a softspoken southern German accented man with temper tantrums out of nowhere, just like the original (according to historians). But never over the top. Ian Kershaw, who wrote the 2 volume biography of Hitler (Hubris & Nemesis) said it was probably the most accurate portrayal that you could ever hope to find considering it's a movie.

Besides Hitler, the movie features Himmler, Goebbels, Speer and Bormann from the Party hierarchy, a few generals including #1 Hitler sycophant Keitel and briefly, Göring.

This movie was well researched, as history buffs and those who read and studied Hitler will recognize many events and quotes in the movie. I would rate it easily the best Hitler movie ever. No one will walk away from this movie feeling any sympathy for the man (that they didn't have before).
