- Second best "Bunker" film of the four...
This was a 1981 CBS mini-series produced for network TV. The production quality is fair. The interior shots of the Bunker and Deiter's office have a "stage look" to them. I do like the fact that it shows the "Courtyard of Honor" and inside the "New Reich Chancellery." Events are shown from different points of view and film shifts back and forth between them. The main characters "followed around" are Hitler, Speer,Bormann, Eva Braun and the Goebbels family.

Rating: - incredible performance by hopkins
Anthony hopkins pulls out all the stops in this performance as the evil genius Adolph HItler in his last squalid days in the smelly bunker in berlin.The only movie that has done this better is 'downfall' but this one is almost as good due to the tight performances from the entire cast and it is an excellent interpetation of the terrible true story.Even if you have seen 'downfall' this movie is well worth seeing and thinking over. Hitler was a human man driven by many factorsand he was not insane ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty Credible Job: Hopkins is Hitler
History'sarch-demon is shown decliniing into suicide with a retinue of true believers that are still left in an underground bunker/pre-crypt. Hopkins always does good work, andhas such amzing range. From my admittedly limited personal knowledge of the subject, it seemed to realistically capture yetanother instance of the Beast going downand returning to dust. His Soul? Gehenna is my best guess.... Read More

- Life in The Bunker
Before Downfall, there was The Bunker.Nearly the entire movie is watching and listening to Hitler speak about the events at the end of the war.He goes from joy to dispair to suicide in only a few days.It is interesting to see a historical figure in such a situation, with many of his actual words being quoted.We know much about what Hitler did and said near the end because so many of those who were with him were extensively interviewed by Allied intelligence.Not an action adventure, not even much ...

Rating: - You feel like you were there
The Bunker is one of those movies it seems everyone would find fascinating.Anthony Hopkins, as always, is excellent.I can find nothing to criticize about the movie, because the settings and characters seem authentic, the script intelligent and realistic, the (true) story fascinating, and no noticeable flaws distracting the viewer from the plot.I think the actress who played Eva Braun was considerably prettier than the real person, otherwise, could find nothing that did not ring true.Watch Adolph unravel ...
