Cristiano Ronaldo: World at His Feet

So I learned something today. Apparently Portuguese people speak a language that is a mix between Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. And I didn't know that Madeira resembled Rio de Janeiro's favelas or slums. Also the insight of the astrologist was very useful - a very important detail in an athlete's career. It's really a shame for someone to try to document a rather international public figure with such a weak attention to details when it comes to culture or language. Please, get your facts straight!

Other than that it's quite nice that you showed his charitable and benevolent side, which should arise from the vanity comments that he is target off. And of course, such a great star should be known by all people, specially the football lovers.

I really enjoyed this documentary. I liked learning about Cristiano's childhood and his family. There's also lots of interesting tidbits. For example, as a child he was more of a quiet individual and now he poses for ads in his underwear (his own brand). Nothing wrong with that, I loved all the images of Cristiano in this film. There's also an interesting piece in this documentary where there is an astrologer, who directly relates Cristiano's communication style with his astrological sign. He said since Cristiano is an Aquarius that is partly why he excels in his communication. I don't know if that's true, but very interesting and is working for Cristiano. Before watching this film, I wouldn't have called myself a Cristiano fan, but now I am.

This is such a bad patched, randomly assembled documentary film that I've ever viewed. there were even some from an old movie. The poorly patched works littered around with boring narrations from different people. There was nothing special to tell a good story but only with some patchworks cut here and there to assemble an indifferent story. I really doubt people would fall for Ronaldo by this lousy film.

I just viewed the newer "Ronaldo (2015)" couple of days ago, comparing it with this horrible film, that one suddenly becomes so good, because the 2015 released film is very up close and personal. When you watched it, you were like standing or sitting next to Ronaldo in his car, his home and traveled with him everywhere he went. Yet this one, yuck, just with terrible boring stuff with terrible narration.

I strongly suggest that you skip this and watch that film instead.

Before seeing this documentary all I knew about Ronaldo is that he is attractive, dates models and likes to take his shirt off. However after watching this documentary I learned that there is a lot more to him than the flashy side we often see. First off Ronaldo grew up dirt poor in a small island off the coast of Portugal. He was so poor that he often missed meals. The only thing that got him through was a soccer ball, which he brought with him everywhere he went. Also I learned that he has a huge heart. He tries to give back to his hometown and is known to pay for surgeries of children suffering from cancer. All and all I learned that there is more Ronaldo than meets the eye.

I thought this was a very well made documentary. The film goes over his childhood and how he came to where he is today. It also goes into some comparisons between him and Beckham, paparazzi stories, his generous donations and a somewhat secretive child he has. I learned a lot about Ronaldo. I had no idea he was such a caring person. We usually just see him as this flashy guy. But it seems he really takes care of people. He is very kind and generous with his money. And it seems, he's not just tossing his money around either, but takes the time to stop and listen to whoever he is helping. I definitely see him differently than I did before I watched this film.
