Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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

Prismark10 United is a docu-drama about the infamous 1958 Munich air disaster which claimed the lives of many of the Busby Babes and how the Manchester United team marched on from that dark day and rebuilt.The focus is less on Matt Busby played by Dougray Scott in a stoic manner because he is sidelined after the crash as Busby was seriously injured and hospitalised for some time.The focus is on David Tennant as Jimmy Murphy who has to cope with the aftermath, get a side together some from the lower leagues and get them to play. There is also the issue of some of the survivors being emotionally damaged from the incident such as Bobby Charlton who feels unable to play. Then there are the injuries to Duncan Edwards widely regarded as one of the best young players of his generation who survived the crash but later died.As someone who knew little but the basics of this disaster I found the film informative and emotional. I would acknowledge the film had to condense the story which means some of the characters are sidelined or ignored but it is an affirming story of overcoming the odds that should get even non soccer fans involved.

massive-twat I'm a big Manchester United fan of 23 years old, and am from Manchester too. This may bias my opinion but I truly think this is a magnificent film! I really don't remember the last time I watched a movie as gripping and inspirational as this.From the first minute to the last, I had goosebumps, found myself short of breath (not exaggerating), and I had tears coming to my eyes at many scenes.I've watched the film quite a few times now, and I've never got bored of it. A pretty accurate portrayal of events (to my knowledge - I studied the air disaster while in secondary school), and I would recommend it to all who are looking for a good inspirational, well written/portrayed movie about the events included.*A warning to any big United fan - it can get emotional!

DoctorHver Plain crash and soccer team left in a ruin, a tragedy that has been milked since day one from the events of 1958. But this film is not very good, beside David Tennant is acting which is brilliant so I give 5 star for that alone. the rest not so much, so if you want account on the disaster just track down the episode that was part of the air crash investigation series, and watch that instead. Beside Tennant's acting its not much to say about this film, and Tennant is the only reason why I bothered to watch this in first place. Other than that there is to say about this effort, truth to be told you don't care about the characters or the disaster as portrait in this film, with expectation of Tennants character.

scotteggenberger Being a United supporter for most of my attentive soccer existence, I've always known about Munich. Watching this portrayal however cast new light and depth into the club's history, characters, and world opinion. I was touched to learn about the other clubs that sent on players and staff to help rebuild the club, especially Liverpool! The casting was incredibly accurate, as were their respective performances: shy boyish Charlton, charismatic Edwards, gaunt gritty yet deep Jimmy, and stalwart Busby. Busby's speaking pace, accent, and intonation, combined with his facial expressions and walk were incredible.This movie was inspirational, emotional, and surprising. It's well worth viewing. The film makes you want to scour the internet for more information on Munich and affirms Manchester United's validity as one of the top clubs of all time, especially in this age of rich owner club buyouts. Anyone can buy a team and trophies, but only the greatest teams will be respected for creating a legacy. This film highlights that turning point for Man United.Thanks for this film.
