Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Thomas Hardcastle Compared to the first film, this one is not good at all.I like the fact that the women are hotter - they're in Madrid, so that's probably going to be true to life. However, the fact that we're supposed to feel sorry for the protagonist now that he's being given everything he always wanted does not make sense. Sure, in the first film he's got nothing, and he has to work hard for every scrap, but in Goal II, the character becomes an insufferable, spoilt child, and this instantly forgives the audience for disliking him. If this is an attempt by the director to make Santiago appear ungrateful, it works, but it certainly detracts from the character most people got to know and love from the first film.There is very little storyline in this film, so the writers added the "search for mother" to bolster the touchy-feely side of the film. This made some parts of the film what I would term "fast-forward-able" and unnecessary.Adding Beckham to the mix doesn't work, other than to draw Beckham fans into the cinema to watch it. He adds no depth to the film, and is just there to make Beckham fans happy. He can't act, and gives nothing in the way of storyline. He simply gives credibility to the film, as he was a Real Madrid player at the time the film was made.Overall, this is not a shocking sequel, but it certainly detracts from the charms of the original film. Worth watching once, but not twice.
princesabin There were no redeeming qualities to this sequel. The plot was poor, the dialogue awful and what was up with Kuno's accent? In the first movie he's got really no accent, he's an American. But in the second...he's got this poor accent through out the movie. The dialogue and plot were bad...but the cinematography were even worse! The editing was choppy, the football boring...there was no tension in the film...and because of how annoying Santiago has become you don't even want to root for him either.Ironically, the best acting performances came from the footballers on the field, in the training scenes and in-game footage. And who thought it was a good idea to have Nick Cannon be in this movie? And as an Englishman? For shame. Acting: Terrible. Directing: Awful. Cinematography+ Editing: Atrocious Dialogue: AmateurishAnd who thought it was smart to have the characters go in and out of Spanish...then randomly go back into English?? If you're going to bring Santiago and his mother together...why not try and make it mean something?Worthless movie. Trust me, you should avoid this if at all possible. Move right to the third movie.
Sauvik Biswas Not too many words can be wasted on this movie. I have already wasted 2 and half hours of my life. To cut the long story short, this movie is all about the high society indulgence and a really lame story. The story lifts off from where it's predecessor left - Munez gets into Real Madrid. He becomes a part of high society, thereby drifting off from his loved ones. He searches for his mother and his step brother plays, It's about how he ... heck, the story is so badly narrated that I am not able to write a summary.Danny Cannon did a way better job in Goal! The Dream Begins than Jaume Collet-Serra who has absolutely destroyed what could have been a potentially brilliant drama.That's it. I refuse to write anymore for this piece of garbage. Did I mention that I feel like kicking Jaume Collet-Serra into the goalpost.
hurst395 This is the worst film I've ever seen. I've never seen a less believable storyline. In the first film Santiago was part of a poor Mexican immigrant family, yet by the end of the film he's miraculously playing premier league football.Then in the 2nd film it gets even less believable. He suddenly finds himself playing for Real Madrid and winning the champions league.So to get this straight, in what's meant to be little over a year he goes from being an immigrant with hardly any cash, to champions league winner.Also, this film is obviously a marketing tool for David Beckham (as if he needs help becoming even more famous.) Beckham has already proved that he shouldn't ever speak in public, now he's proved that he can't act.If you are a real football fan, don't go anywhere near this film.
