i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
... View MorePretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
... View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreFrom director John-Paul Davidson comes an inspiring sports biopic about the late, great golfing legend, Seve Ballesteros. Seve the Movie chronicles the fascinating and true account about how a young country boy from Spain grew up to become celebrated as one of the greatest golfers of all time. Throughout the film, director John- Paul Davidson beautifully intertwines real footage from Seve's personal life and career with reenacted scenes from his childhood to give viewers a full and complete look at not just Seve the golfer, but Seve the man. By the middle of the film, I realized that Seve's story was much more than just a "rags to riches" sports narrative. His story is about passion, determination, and following his dreams. Seve Ballesteros had the heart and mind of a champion, and his legacy deserves to be preserved through amazing works like this film. Seve the Movie is not just for golfers or sports fans, it's for anyone looking to feel inspired and uplifted. If you haven't seen it yet, I don't know what you're waiting for. http://bit.ly/1WBE1yk
... View MoreI hardly ever give things 10 out of 10, bar Casablanca and Seven, but this film certainly achieves what it sets out to: an enthusiastically-told tribute to what must've been an amazing man. Slightly saccharine flashbacks to his childhood are offset by jaw-dropping footage, interesting interviews and an ending which keeps picking up in emotive punch.Self-indulgence, however, is never a problem (despite a near two-hour running time) as the flashbacks actually end up serving the documentary footage well (the young Seve is a revelation, albeit in a highly specialised role) while the real Seve and his contemporaries add more gravitas, relevance, humour and pathos to the making of this great sportsman.Rounded of with a thumping if samey score, this gets top marks for innovation. One or two less for overall enjoyment perhaps, but that's merely the limit of the story's limited confines. Different, dazzling in places, but they make the best of what's available. And no-one should be penalised for that.
... View MoreFrom the poster this may look like a niche sports film but in reality it's a heartwarming tale about the human condition, taking your chances and forging a way through when the odds are stacked against you.Admittedly, not everyone can do this! Seve was blessed with awesome ability, drive, an engaging charisma and self belief that most people lack. But even if you can't relate you willingly go on this lavish, lovingly told tale from inspiring roots to inspirational super stardom.Equal parts sweet, nostalgic, enlightening, uplifting and ultimately bittersweet, it's well worth checking out even if you're normally put off my golf. I couldn't fault it, especially since it's ably assisted by a gripping score (particularly the theme). I was in from the first beat in tandem with the pounding oars. Bold, beautiful and borne unashamedly of fans.
... View MoreDragged along a mate last night in Leatherhead to see this ultimate tribute to a golfing god. I loved everything about this movie and it was so creative they brought Seve the kid back to life with a lovable little kid who was his spit and image, both in character and on the course. There was even about 15 minutes of new footage even I hadn;t seen before - and I thought I'd seen the lot on Seve via Dana on youtube! Really brought him back to life and paid perfect testimony to all Seve accomplished from lowly roots to the pinnacle of the game. It's a proper story, almost a fairytale. But it's all true. Seve was the greatest and while I never give anything 10 since ET, this came close. Even my mate was surprised and blubbing. DVD comes out this month, get it for anyone who loves golf, sport or has a flicker of human emotion. Seve the man delivers more feeling in a look, smile, or scowl than you'd get in most relationships.
