Rating: - Martin Luther: An Eloquent and Fierce Critic of a Corrupt System.
Martin Luther was a man without Cant. He Shattered the structure of the Medieval Church. He fiercely spoke against the corrupt religious practices that existed in his days. He waged an intellectual war against the moribund religious hierachy of the Catholic Church. A climate of social change had splintered the unity of medieval christian culture. These changes provided the background for Luther's theological challenge. The development of his thought was both sympton and catalyst in the transformation ... Read More
Rating:  - Strong and Thrutful
This is a very good movie of the story of Luther, and the most thrutful apparently. Very strong movie, totally exposes Luther's thoughts, you can see from his earliest thoughts about the Catholic church, when he wasn't at peace with what he was taught there, the journey he took to rome to "increase his faith", the things he saw there and how the same catholic church pushed him to find his faith, Salvation Through Jesus Christ only, not by work, but by grace alone. (See Eph. 2:8-10)
Very good ... Read More
Rating: - A well-done classic
Growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the late '60s and early '70s, it was an annual ritual for our grade school classes to go over to our church (Atonement Lutheran) to watch the "Martin Luther film" just before Reformation Day on October 31st.

The memories of those days and the images from the film remain clear many years later, and I am pleased that it exists on DVD, although it does need to be re-mastered. The historical accuracy is reasonably good--moreso ... Read More
Rating:  - tripe lionizing the irrational drunken fornicator
This movie is tripe lionizing the drunken, fornicator who institutionalized an irrational and internally inconsistent "theolgy"! Luther taught that the Bible is the sole source of revelation, but the Bible itself says otherwise (see below) ---a foundational inconsistency born of the besotted mind of Luther. Like the Pharisees "voided the commandments of God for the traditions of men," so too have Lutherans and the rest of the Protestant Deformers defected from the New Covenant.
The Bible itself ... Read More
Rating: - Black and White
Like Christopher Columbus, Martin Luther is one of world History's Great movers who left his mark on the world. He was not a General. He was not an artist. He was not a politician or builder of buildings. He did not see himself as a Holy man like the Apostles but only as a humble reformer in a corrupt church.
Black and White is the format of this film. It is also the way in which the Great Uncompromising Christian Reformer is portayed. From the day he abandons his legal studies and promising future ... Read More
