IslandGuru Who payed the critics

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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

OneEightNine Media Wow. Just wow. I can not believe that a movie about ski jumping could be that entertaining. Hugh Jackman is pretty much a fun loving Wolverine in this and he is having all kinds of fun. Before becoming an actor Hugh Jackman was a gym teacher, maybe that's why he is more animated than usual. Anyway, the guy from Kingsman's Secret Service is in this, Taron Egerton and he does an outstanding job. Pretty much proving himself not to be a one hit wonder. Anyway, the film is based of the true story of an underdog who has to work for it and his coach who a natural talent who didn't work for it and burned out early. This isn't just a feel good film, it has tons of layers and laughs. This film is one of those rare film you walk away a different person after watching it. I almost feel like watching it again and I literally just watched it last night, it is that good.

kastenmeier-andreas I'm not sure, that everything took place the way it's shown in this movie. Because of my age i'm not familiar with the story of Eddie the Eagle, but i'm glad that they went with the more entertaining, exaggerated version of the real life events. You fall for the main character and his dream to participate in Olympic games within the first few seconds of the movie.Yes, everything is kind of shown in a nostalgic and overoptimistic view, but this leads to the lovely feel-good vibe of the movie. This is not a movie you have to see in cinemas. Although, it is perfect for a family afternoon in your living room. You can feel that everyone involved had a blast and enjoyed every second of making this movie.A small but delightful movie with good messages and morals.

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.
