Rating: 3.0
Only because the story needs to be heard...
Don't expect to be entertained. The film does not try to be clever. It does not have the best writing. It merely gives a historically accurate (by spirit if not letter) representation of a man who by the grace of God, changed the way modern-day Christianity sees their God and their savior. While the filmmakers were diligent to see that this film be as accurate as possible, any created dialogue of course will purely be skeptical. Saying that, I could not see Martin Luther saying many of the lines that came out of him. The film also shows how Martin had the support of the people, but does not explain how that was brought about. If you're looking for entertainment, this probably isn't the film for you. If you sincerely want to find out more about the steps and process Luther took to begin the Protestant Reformation, there's probably no better place to start.
