I love rugby but this is not rugby, I mean nobody that leads a rugby team asks nicely when they want them to play to win, its rugby for gods sake, they shout at each other, Matt Damon is too nice for this role, i couldn’t believe this film in fact I would class it as a comedy.

Just amazing. In my top 3 favourite films. Freeman is class

Sick!!!

As a fan of rugby I highly looked forward to seeing this film and it didn't disappoint at all. Freeman and Damon at their best they represent everything that happened in South Africa to a incredibly high level

Really disappointed, don't get me wrong, the subject matter is important, and they had a lot to work with. However the script, along with the filming of the rugby scenes were catastrophic. Please, for your sake, do not put yourself through this. If you like important subject matter being turned into mushy, cheesy, and inaccurate tripe… well be my guest.

One country united by a game, one Man changed by choice of destiny, a country inspired to see past race and colour to become one.

Outstanding film, regardless of how much fact was involved.

...I'm not buying it from Apple until it's available in HD. Come on Warner Bros. sort yourselves out and give your customer's what they want!

A real feel good movie with a great soundtrack. Anyone who rated less than 3 must be a cold fish!

Why can't this be rented

What an excellent and moving film. Morgan Freeman shows once again what a brilliant actor he is. I would urge everyone to watch this.

An excellent film that captures the powerful emotions on both sides of the political divide in South Africa at the time. Having lived through it I was at first reluctant to watch this movie but it has been excellent produced and is a fairly accurate telling of a truly remarkable tale.

Well done Clint - as ever a very good production from the man!

It started like any normal sports film. But after I watched it... What a elegantly beautiful And inspiring film

This is a fantastic film Morgan freeman was born to play this was bit worried after reading the bad reviews bit they where way off the mark and really missed what this film was all about buy it

Ok, it might not be 100% factually correct but still, this is a very good movie that highlights the plight of Apartheid in SA. When Mandela came to power, he had two opportunities, to oppress the white south africans, or build a new south africa with white and black alike. He chose the latter and used the springbok team as a platform to launch SA back into the world media for good reasons rather than wrong.

Whether you know anything about SA history or not, this film is a good eye opener - heck, you may even be moved enough to study the darker past of SA

a perfect 5 star movie

Havnt seen but should I 1 thing though SA are wearing the 2011 kit?

This film was so inspiring, I loved every single bit of it. I could watch it 1000 times over.

I can't understand why people don't like this film? It portrays an incredible period of history very well, and the acting is pretty good.

My only criticism is that the scenes with playing rugby are a little overdubbed and unrealistic...

When I finished watching this film, I could only describe it in one way to the people I know - "Feel good, feel inspired."

Great film covering an amazing period in world history for the Rainbow nation, South Africa, Nelson Mandela, Francois Pinar and World Cup Rugby helping unite a nation torn by years of racial division. Suprisingly uplifting and positive about how one man's belief in peace and forgiveness and the good in the human heart helped change the world in which he lived. Better storyline than most films and it's real!!! Watch it.

We watched this with some one who grew up in South Africa and got even more from the movie as he confirmed "Yes that is how it was"

I love rugby and I was looking forward to that movie, it reflected the whole story all right but the action on the field was lacking of reality. It was just ok, slightly boring at times, the music was missing in some part and felt like dull. I wouldn't watch it again and again though.

Morgan Freeman was born to play this role....why Clint Eastwood out of all people was allowed to direct it beats me! At one point, a piece of music came on that was so cringing and American that my toes actually curled up! It's a shame because I was really looking forward to this film with all the history behind it....the effects with sound that were used were awful as well! When they were playing rugby Eastwood put in these noises like it was just a group of men grunting down a microphone! I really wouldn't buy it!

Absolutely great and it's definately proves the point about apartheid and it shows how much of a legend nelson Mandela is and absolutely amazing acting too

This is a great movie. Such an inspiring true story. People who say this is rubbish don't have any taste in films.

I watched the whole film, wanted to like it but couldn't. Expected better.

For those who think this film is rubbish u are rubbish this film is great!!!

BUY IT!!

Excellent!

I had seen mixed reviews so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I am not even into Rugby and I loved the film! They might not have the SA accent right at all times as some people said - but who cares. This movie is a great portrait of a great man, showing how Mandela's extraordinary intelligence and compassion helped make the transition from Apartheid to democracy without bloodshed.

Watched it in school and thought it was pretty good. Morgan Freeman was good in it.

It's amazing how accurate the journey, matches and times are. Also the film and story line is excelent.

Goodish but could have been better. Some of the acting from the rugby players is very suspect and Matt Damon is far too short. Maybe I'm nit picking worth a watch.

Excellent

Worst film of the year such a let down could of been a great

I thought it was a great film but it was a let down that the final match had no tries :(

I enjoyed watching this film and thought that Morgan freeman played Nelson Mandela very well. I did feel however that apart from the main character played by mart Damon very little seemed to be mentioned about the other players in the 1995 world cup. When it came to the final scenes where they were winning, they cut to these nameless players that had barely been mentioned throughout the film. For a film about the world cup I just think the film should have made more effort to personalise the players...not just the captain. But a good film none the less and interesting to watch.

..

Good film and I was there when it all happened!! Must watch.

Wow this film was amazing!!!! Well worth a watch;)

This is easily the best film I have ever seen, it is emotional and action packed, simply amazing.

This was an amazing film, one that is so incredibly powerful, it will bring you to tears.

I watched this on the plane on a recent trip to SA for the World Cup. Partly because I was going to SA, and partly because I had heard about it from some former premier rugby players who loved it. I did too. It isn't a perfect but it is a thoroughly engaging, uplifting, and very enjoyable film. I'd watch it again now, just two weeks later, always a good acid test. I promise you, worth a watch if you like any of the following: rugby, SA, Freeman, Damon, Eastwood's films, inspirational feel good films.

Freeman is outstanding as Mandela and the story is inspiring and uplifting

OK so I went to see this during the six nations so I was slightly more pumped for rugby but at the same time I didn't have very high hopes for the film, it's a film about rugby, about politics and about unity.

The film runs at a reasonable pace, there's a lot to fit in, but give it time, if you turn it off during the first half hour then it would be sad but understandable, as the film progresses you will find yourself getting more and more engrossed in the characters and the games, you'll start to care about the fates of the people involved and by the final (that's the final of the 1995 rugby world cup) you will start willing the passes, the drop goals, the runs and the tackles and start engaging mentally with the game.

As far as the actors are concerned the choices are surprisingly good in the case of Matt Damon as Francois and obvious in the case of Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandella (although the latter occasionally slips up with the South African accent).

Aesthetically this film is pleasing, the backdrops, sets and locations are bright and easy to watch.

Overall this film is fantastic, and I would say it's one of the better films of 2010.

Thank you Mr. Eastwood for a thoroughly amazing and spot on film direction.

I lived through this event back in 1995. Sadly I didn't pay that much attention to the political climate that impacted on sport. For the curious movie goer, you get a taster of this without the fuss of it being too preachy.

A great uplifting film with the perks of seeing Americans speak South African!

I don't really rave about films but this had me crying and smiling at the same time. It is probably one of THE most uplifting films I have ever seen. So much that I have logged on at midnight saturday to tell you all, now buy it!!

A great film with a great true story behind it. Morgan Freeman produces an admirable portrayal of Mandela, even if Morgan looks west african you still get drawn in. As for Matt Damon, a fair attempt at an afrikaans accent, but Matt is far too 'pretty' looking to be a rugby player :-)

The only complaint I have is that the film is a little too sugar-sweet, the 'edges' of the racial tension have been worn off, in reality things were not so nice. However, this is a great feel-good movie, go watch it!

Fantastic, both as a political and sports film! Acting is immense, not only by the ever-reliable Freeman and Damon, but also by minor characters such as Julian Lewis Jones!

I had been waiting for a rugby related film to be released for a while and dix not expect such a blockbuster, with Chester Williams' role putting the cherry on top of the icing! Only complaint is the non-aggressive game-play, but otherwise a great watch!

It's amazing! If u haven't seen invictus watch it!
