Luther is not a historical journey. It bounces around without establishing who the prince is, where the emperor fits in to the church, or that the Germanic states are separate and independent from Rome. Also the peasant war made no sense; who were the barbarians Luther referred to?
The film did well to portray Luther. He was against violence and was not anti-God, but anti-corruption and anti-establishment, the mainstays of his teachings.
