CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

hjbuhrkall To be fair, I didn't know the story of Kurz & Hinterstoisser before watching the movie, and hence I had no idea of their struggle or the horrible result of their endeavor. So when I watched the movie, I believed it to be portraying a first ascent of the Eiger, not a miserable demise.I was stunned by the simplicity in mountaineering back then, and even more by the personal strength and courage it must have taken for them to do what they did… but even though they were real manly men, they all suffer agonizingly and slow deaths, and it just left me with a strong sensation of empathy, for their powerlessness, and futile efforts against the mountain.I can honestly say that I (naively)believed it to have a happy ending, but the reality of the movie left me in awe and deep respect for the forces of the mountains, and the effort of those trying to conquer them.Truly an amazing movie!

ahmed rashad Before you read , it's a must-watch and good movie for everybody . The climbers will encounter conditions where they have to make serious life decisions , while being in pain , danger and extreme cold that you will feel how weak we are -as human- against the cold .The scenes during the climb are outstanding ,you will feel exactly as if you are the climber especially when the camera move around, zoom in and out and the falling snow every few seconds , that's really impressive and well-done scenes.the point that i like to stress , is that how people become so much focused and committed to something that they could be killed before it, it's always a weird fact about us; the humans. The movie entertainment curve is slowly going up ,the real show begins after 40 min ,be patient and you will get the adrenaline buffet .You need to feel some extra-ordinary life conditions to watch on a screen ,then go and watch the movie , enjoy :)

Thanos Karagioras "North Face" is a really good movie which has to do with a competition of climbing the most dangerous rock face in the Alps. In this competition many countries took place with their best climbers and so Nazi did their best to succeed that as they urged the best Alpinists to climb the unclimbed north face of this mountain.If you are a climber or you like mountaineering then you have to see this movie because its the definition of the try of a climber to conquer the peak of a mountain. This feeling is one of the best feelings which a climber feels in such a moments, and this movie is full of that.Finally "North Face" is a really good movie which I strongly recommend it to you because it will make you feel a really different feelings and you will understand how hard is to succeed in such a competition.

nicolaimichel Being a mountaineer, and having read several books about the early attempts to climb the Eiger's North face, I naively assumed this film would be a reasonably accurate portrayal of the events. What a let-down when the story started straying further and further from what actually happened, only to turn into a sappy Hollywood-style BS-fest. The filmmakers should be ashamed of themselves for completely misrepresenting a gripping and tragic story which didn't have any need whatsoever for fiction to make it compelling. This is my first review on IMDb after many years using the site. The reason is that this film is simply disrespectful to the people involved in the actual events.
