      Audience Member This movie seems like the director filmed until he ran out of money and didn't cut anything. It ends well before the part of Benito's life that I expected: the rise of fascism in Italy. The film is interesting from a historical perspective but overall a big disappointment after investing 5 hours watching it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The English Version was Bad. I should have watched it in Italian or Spanish. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting movie about the early days of Mussolini and his rise in the political realms of early 20th century Italy... However, I thought that we would learn something about the creation of the Italian facist party and his raise to dictatorship of the country, all the way up to WW2... But there is absolutely nothing about this, since the event in this movie basically ends in 1915... I was a little disapointed by that... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was way too long considering it never really got to the part where he actually became a dictator.(it felt kind of like a tease) The dubbing was hilarious because it sounds nothing like Antonio and it was done in Italian so his words don't even match up with the movement of his mouth. In the end, watching this movie was justa waste of my time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
