    Only 7 reviews?!

    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.

    Disappointingly shallow

    I've never been a Zlatan fan. I've only seen a few of his matches and interviews on TV, and he's always come across as cocky and self-centered, someone who puts himself before anyone else. That kind of personality makes him a difficult character to truly like or root for.

    Still, I went into this film hoping to see a different side of him. I wanted to understand the person behind the tough exterior we're so used to seeing. Unfortunately, this is exactly where the film falls short.

    Even though I knew very little about Zlatan before watching, I came out of it feeling like I'd learned even less. In fact, the movie made me like him even less than before. There's no depth, no tension, no surprises, and no personal growth. He's portrayed as the same angry, cocky, selfish character from childhood through adulthood.

    If someone like me, who came in with an open mind and minimal background knowledge, found nothing new or engaging here, I can't imagine how underwhelming it must be for actual fans. Sadly, I can't recommend this film.

    The legend "Zlatan Ibrahimovic"...

    "I Am Zlatan" is a Biography - Drama movie in which we follow the life of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most controversial and talented footballers of all time. The movie offers a close look at Zlatan's journey from his rough upbringing in Sweden to his rise as a global football star.

    I have to admit that I enjoyed this movie and it captured very well the essence of Zlatan's personality while it presented very well the challenges that he faced. Despite that, I also expected a deeper exploration of his inner conflict and complexities. The interpretation of the lead actor Granit Rushiti who played as Zlatan Ibrahimovic was very good and added authenticity to the portrayal. To sum up, I have to say that "I Am Zlatan" is a nice movie especially for football fans or anyone curious about the man behind the legend. It might not be perfect, but it offers a glimpse into the unique journey of one of the sport's most polarizing figures so, I would recommend it to those who admire Zlatan Ibrahimovic or enjoy sports dramas.
