YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

ArrowverseDCEUGothamJoker This may be the worst movie I've ever seen. Aside from the tastelessness of having a comedy about António de Oliveira Salazar, it just isn't funny or entertaining in any way. It is very similar to a 1960's comedy in its cornball humor and contrived situations, but while it can be well done like in The Green Hornet, it's just not funny here. I think the movie was based around the novelty "look, it's António de Oliveira Salazar as a bumbling comedy figure" but it just fell flat in every regard. The guy playing António de Oliveira Salazar is so hammy that its hard to sit through that alone. I wonder what could have possibly made the studio think this was a good idea to produce. I thought France had some tasteless movies, but the Portugueses had us beat this time. France would never produce a comedy about António de Oliveira Salazar, although we did have that movie about Maréchal Pétain, La Rafle (2010). Chances are you'll probably never see this movie, since it was only released in Portugal and will probably never be released in the rest of the world.

dsabba This movie is one of the best, if not the best comedy ever made in the Portuguese language.The plot is a fun way to know about the Portuguese fascist dictatorship of Salazar and his new-state politics (Estado-Novo). The main character is Capitão Falção, a Portuguese soldier/super hero/patriot who struggles against communists (or how they call "Red menace") who tries to infiltrate his beloved country. As a super hero he has his own sidekick, Puto Perdiz.A Fun movie, with a lot of quotable sentences and jokes. Highly Recommended!

beautifulday-08255 The movie sucks and sucks badly. From the acting to the story. Too Long and boring, didn't get a giggle out of me. Just keep away of this. Had high expectations and had a huge disappointment. The movie sums up to a bunch of clichés and dry humor, with forced acting caracteristic to Portuguese cinema. Rumors of sequel out there that I surely wont watch! This is the kind of movie you either like or hate, I'm on the hater field. Wonders me why you only see false praise to this mess. I just keep asking myself why I spent 25 eur on this! It's clear that I didn't like this and try as I may cant say anything positive about this. The end credits put an end to my misery. Hope never to see or hear from it again. Not much more I can say about this sad excuse of a comedy.

Starny When I decided to watch Capitão Falcão, I had had the opportunity to realize there was a very positive feedback on this movie from some friends and acquaintances over the internet. Nevertheless, one is always a bit suspicious when it comes to a popular Portuguese film - don't get me wrong, there can be very good cinema in Portugal! - that doesn't let down.This film is a satire, basically portraying the good and true Portuguese as a person of value, that loves their family, acts fervently towards any patriotic action and that is totally against Communism and its ideology. For a Portuguese who knows well the history around the dictatorship practiced in Portugal with António de Oliveira Salazar, like the most of us, it becomes even more shocking, although in a very funny way, how some individuals could manage to get a comedy out of what really happened. Moreover, this movie is genuinely funny; there are crazy moves, fights, outrageous lines and even recreations from our childhood.In conclusion, and although I can not consider it to be a perfect film, it is a true breath of fresh air when it pertains to the Portuguese film industry that also shows we are perfectly capable of laughing of ourselves and, more importantly, leave the cinema thinking, at least for once - I'm so glad I'm Portuguese!
