SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Hellmant 'BORG VS MCENROE': Four Stars (Out of Five)A biographical sports-drama flick based on the classic rivalry between tennis players Björn Borg and John McEnroe, during the 1980 Wimbledon Championships. It was directed by Janus Metz Pedersen, and it was scripted by Ronnie Sandahl. The movie stars Sverrir Gudnason and Shia LaBeouf, as the two title characters, and it costars Stellan Skarsgård, Tuva Novotny and Robert Emms. The film has received mostly positive reviews from critics, and it's won multiple prestigious awards as well. I enjoyed it, especially for it's intense climax. Björn Borg (Gudnason) was a professional Swedish tennis player who was number one in the world in 1980. John McEnroe (LaBeouf) was a professional American tennis player, who was also number one in the world at one time. Borg was known for being really calm and robotic, while McEnroe was well known for having a really short temper and being extremely crude. The two became classic opposites, and rivals, at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships.This movie intensely depicts that rivalry. The film is a great character study, highlighted by two outstanding lead performances (especially LaBeouf) and an awesome sports climax (I really enjoyed the ending). It's also educational, for anyone who didn't know the real story (like me), and it's an interesting look at professional tennis as well (especially at that time). I was also really fascinated to learn what became of the two famous athletes, after the events of the movie. If you're a sports flick fan, I'd say this is definitely the movie for you.

rcmuzayedeankara There was a movie called "Rush" that looks very much like it. You have to watch this movie seven or you can watch those seven.

twitter-31974 I lived through this period, and this film artfully captures the emotions of the time. It focuses on the build up to the 1980's match and turns out an art film that is the Rocky of tennis.

jtncsmistad Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe are two of the greatest tennis players we will ever know. The duo were widely considered to be the best in the world during a four year span from the late 1970's through the early '80's. The rivalry they shared was intense. Their respective personalities could not have been more diverse. Though dramatic license is certainly exercised, the new film "Borg vs McEnroe" shines a harsh light into the dark corners of two men who were at once driven and demonized by a ferocious and all-consuming purpose. To be the best.Danish Director Janus Metz ("Armadillo") does yeoman work here, fashioning a riveting story of these two bigger than life characters. Metz presents and examines the lives of a pair of pushed-to-be perfect children as they progress into talented yet tormented adults, ceaselessly struggling with stunted emotional development. Sverrir Gudnason ("Blowfly Park") impresses as Borg, portraying the Swedish legend as a conflicted but gentle soul bottled up in a perpetually placid exterior. And speaking of conflicted souls, wildly erratic yet mega-gifted actor Shia LaBeouf (The "Transformers" saga) is simply outstanding as the brash wunderkind New Yorker McEnroe. This guy is so damn good at his craft. If LaBeouf could only keep his personal business together off screen he'd almost certainly realize a hell of a lot more opportunities on it. His work is missed."Borg vs McEnroe" culminates in the epic 1980 Wimbledon Championship match between these fierce competitors. If you don't know how this London grass court classic ends I won't spoil it for you. Except to issue major kudos to the film editing team of Per K. Kirkegaard and Per Sandholt. Their invigorating contribution to a furious finale takes us on a rollicking, rip-roaring roller coaster ride that'll leave you nearly as exhausted as the players themselves.
