* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: One common criticism of the movie is that every major character is amoral and depraved if not outright psychopathic, making it hard to sympathize with anyone. The only exception is Elizabeth, who's pretty much a textbook {{Woobie}} and [[spoiler:doesn't even enjoy the dignity of an onscreen death]].

* EndingFatigue: After its central set piece, the Night of the Long Knives massacre, the movie just sort of drifts along for another 45 minutes.
* MoralEventHorizon: Pretty much ''every'' character does at some point:
** Frederick right away, by murdering Joachim (though unlike his costars, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone shows some remorse for his actions]] later on).
** Konstantin blackmailing Martin into financing the SA.
** Martin seems predisposed to this. He'd be a JerkassWoobie with a perfect FreudianExcuse if he didn't ''obliterate'' the moral event horizon at every opportunity. He molests a young girl early in the film, [[spoiler:[[DrivenToSuicide drives another to suicide]] through his attentions]] then manages to top himself by [[spoiler:raping his mother]]. Becoming a card-carrying SS officer is one of the nicer things he does in the course of the film.
