Rooney

Best sports documentary you will watch this year especially if you are a similar age to Rooney the England memories. One of the most underrated players of our era easy one the best footballers to grace this planet. Really enjoyed how normal it portraits him great stuff!

To me this looked like an elaborate video to seek apology from his wife for all the naughty escapades he has had in the past. I get it, it was a part of his life,but that incident is like 40prcnt of the documentary. I was hoping to see more on his ManUtd days, the rivalries during that time, the dominance, heartbreaks, Post SAF era, some more on his move to MLS and more importantly his new challenge as a manager at Derby. The Derby journey would have given us so much more about the new Wayne that we all want to know more about. All that aside, I liked the part where they showed his rise at England National Team and his struggle with injury before every big international tournament.

Came in expecting the usual conceited and exaggerated hubris associated with biopics. Wazza happens to be my childhood hero so I wasn't going to mind at all. Boy was I in for a delightful perturbation. The movie doesn't shy away from Wayne's shortcomings as a teammate, professional, role model and most importantly, family man. Its incredulous the amount of scenes where Colleen and Wayne are both visibly uncomfortable not shying away from invasive probing about the cheating and escort scandals. To give context, on social media there's a running joke about Wayne 's affairs occurring annually. Looking from the outside, it feels as though Wayne is making a last ditch attempt to rectify his somewhat tarnished image. He emphasises his discontent with his actions before candidly expressing the desire to be viewed "as a good person." His transgressions are largely attributed to alcohol abuse and unwholesome peer pressure. Rooney fans will no doubt glee as we peer the lenses on his parenting style. Insightful revelations on the origin of Wayne's bullish and passionate approach to football will put you on the edge of your seat. The admiration from legendary rivals such as Thierry Henry and Jose Mourinho exemplify the immensity of Wazza's legacy. Former England coach, Sven-Goran Eriksson finding out on camera how a 21 year-old Wayne Rooney played through a 6-inch groin tear after recovering from the infamous metatarsal injury at the 2006 world cup epitomises the compulsion to succeed for the Three Lions. Avid fans of English football will find themselves in reverence awe as football royalties David Beckham. Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville recollect early impressions of young Wazza. Although the production addresses an abundance of relevant career related questions, it does exclude one pivotal question. Is Wayne really satisfied? Does he feel he could've handled himself differently and possibly achieved more? Does the former teenage phenom regret not winning a Ballon d'Or? Does he regret routinely arriving to training camps overweight and out shape? Does he regret not living a healthier lifestyle and reaching the longevity of contemporaries such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Despite being Manchester United's greatest goal scorer, is Wayne Rooney at peace with his INDIVIDUAL career? Ultimately the theme of the movie is Wazza's dedication to being the greatest TEAM player ever. Fans can reasonably conclude individual accolades probably have no substance in his path to self-actualisation. Strong recommend for football fans.

Scouse lad likes to kick things a lot you know it's not the most original story ever but my do I love the accent. Really big fan of the graphic effects and recreations, looked impressive and how they got whole crowds in there too - crazy! So yeah overall a good sports fiction flick, with some weird tabloid romance drama thrown in.

Absolute merkage from Rio.

Not just about his private life, as advertised, which is good and does not address all story's and sleaze. Its all about his big impact he made as a kid and his football achievements.
