Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
angelojoseph-02516 As i am a athlete. This was very inspirational to me. Acting was perfect from both Hugh and Taron. its about a skier who want to be a olympian. Then he decides to do skein That needed nearly 10 years of training but he does it in a year He becomes famous cuz he was the first British ski jumper
DrDavid2018 This movie tells a story, never give in, don't listen to those doubt you. Based on the true story of Eddie the Eagle a seemingly ordinary person who had a dream and would not listen to those that wanted to doubt him. It is a truly inspirational tale and is well made with some truly great acting performances. I highly recommend this movie and defy anyone not to shed a tear at the emotional ending.As is said during the film in life as in the olympics its not necessarily about being the winner but being willing to take a chance to achieve your dreams in life.
Claudio Carvalho The clumsy Michael "Eddie" Edwards (Taron Egerton) has dreamed on participating in the Olympics Games since he was a boy. Eddie is not accepted by the British committee in skiing but not aware of his limits, he decides to dispute the dangerous ski-jumping sport. He befriends the former notorious alcoholic jumper Bronson Peary (Hugh Jackman) that helps him giving some instructions how to jump. Eddie succeeds to go to the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics but is rejected by everybody. When he decides to participate in the 90-meter jump, Bronson travels to Calgary to support him. What will happen to Eddie, The Eagle?"Eddie The Eagle" is a film based on true events of a reckless and stubborn man that has decided to go to the Olympics since he was a boy. The screenplay shows a charismatic young man, but the main character has visibly psychological problems. Once he did not die in his stupid decision, he may have been worshiped and the writer decided to show him maybe as an example of determination and not stubbornness and irresponsibleness. But the feel-good film is highly entertaining and worthwhile watching. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Voando Alto" ("Flying High")
studioAT Underdogs who have their day is a staple theme of British films, and this one about unlikely Olympic hero Eddie the Eagle is part of a long line.Sadyl this film didn't do much for me. It has its moments yes, but I couldn't stop myself from thinking that this all had been done so much better in other 'underdog' films. I think even the James Corden 'Paul Potts' film was better than this.The best thing about this film is Hugh Jackman, whose charm carries the scenes he's in. Ultimately though this film remained a bronze medal outing for me rather than a golden one.
