from what i have read a lot of people be disappoint by this film and compare to part 1. initially i could understand this but after a bit of thought i think they be wrong to be . soderbergh continue his fact base telling of che life that he start in part 1. part 1 tell a story of a revolution move from unpromising beginning to an ultimately successful conclusion . part 2 tell a story of a revolution that move from unpromising beginning to a completely unsuccessful conclusion . it be not soderbergh fault that these 2 part of che life have completely different outcome . he bravely choose to tell both in a fairly straightforward way . the viewer may feel a lot well come out of the cinema after part 1 than part 2 but that be the reality of che life and not in my opinion any fault of the director . the film be far from perfect . it be probably too long . at least in part 1 we saw different aspect of the war a the guerrilla have success . in part 2 they can not catch a break and we see their number constantly be reduce by death and capture . che capture and death be deal with well . the film be greatly enhance by the dialogue be in spanish . benicio del toro be again excellent a the charismatic argentinian . so if you have see part 1 you will see a very similar telling of a very different story in part 2 .
