I Am Zlatan

Zlatan's story is fascinating. This movie is average. I was entertained but I felt like this approach ruled out many interesting episodes in Zlatan's life.

There were too many transactions between the adult and child phases that ended up removing emotion and decontextualizing the temporal thread.

The movie picture was a little monotonous and the sound of the movie was linked to that vibe.

The actors were competent but without grace. The actor who played Zlatan showed some personality but lacked some aura around the character.

Maybe I was too hyped, but this movie turned out not to live up to its potential.

Predictable and superficial. Poor acting on all parts, unfortunately not least when it comes to the main character. A polished and fan-adapted version of the main character. The entire movie feels juvenile and does not seize the opportunity to create insights in Z as a person or the influence he had on those around him. Rather it just confirms the general image of a non-conformist, grumpy ego without creating any understanding for the driving forces involved. It fails to bring anything new to the table.

The film seems to be focused on building the Zlatan mythology and brand rather than telling the story of his life in a good way. This is a pity, since Z's history has great potential.

On the positive side.

I guess the football scenes are pretty good and it is said to be quite historically accurate.

There is no real reason to see it. If you are a fan, it likely confirms your opinions. If you're not, it doesn't add much.

Beautiful movie, the story of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is incredible, this movie go to watch for all .

1 hour e 40 minutes really interesting.

Congratulations to the actor who plays Zlatan, very good at imitating his movements.

Why does "I Am Zlatan" only have 7 reviews before my review?! I just can´t believe this. I´m so confused and shocked! We´re talking about Zlatan here! I´m not a devoted football fan, but he is one of the greatest football players of all time.

And I actually liked this movie. We are introduced to Zlatan in his younger years. Granit Rushiti looks a lot like Zlatan. And I think that Granit also managed to capture Zlatan´s big, strong, confident and some kind of larger-than-life personality. Dominic Andersson Bajraktati portrays Zlatan when he is a child. Dominic gives his role liveliness, courage and stubbornness.

Mapei´s song "Ain´t My Fault" is, in my opinion, a great song. It enhances the confident vibe in this movie. And Mapei has an amazing voice!

All in all I must say, in all honesty and clarity, that this movie deserves way more reviews than 8. I´m hoping for at least 100 reviews. Yes, you read that correctly.

Don't believe the hype. Sure, it's a pretty good movie with great actors but it doesn't really explain why Zlatan is Zlatan, on a deeper level. You won't cry or laugh. And if you don't know some of the names that are dropped, you will miss a lot. And as always, you can't fake the real game of football on the silver screen. It just gets silly and fabricated. If you're not a fanboy, skip this rather boring and shallow movie since it will not bring any extra, as a movie or the story of Zlatan.
