Invictus review by MickMac
Invictus

A wonderful insight behind the remarkable man who is Nelson Mandela, excellently portrayed by the outstanding Morgan Freeman. Matt Damon turns in a fine performance as Pieenar but still lives in the shadow of Freeman. Watched it with my children who had lots of questions about what was going on in South Africa at that the time. Very enjoyable film.

Not up to my expectations

Obviously this story is based on the life of an amazing person so is going to tug at the heart strings. However more could have been done to keep it factual and the pace of the film seemed slow at times. Loved Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon in the film.

I always admired Morgan Freeman but this is something else amazingly good part on his behalf. Loved Clint Eastwood's directory really impressed with whole film in all.

Invictus review by DB
Brilliant
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
I thought this would just be a movie about rugby but is was so much more. I really showed the motivation behind Nelson Mandela and what a great man he really is. It definitely gave me a lump or two in my throat as there were some very emotional moments in it. I think it was absolutely excellent. It's a brilliant film and I can highly recommend it!!!

Invictus review by JD
I am the captain of my soul
(0) of (2) members found this review helpful.
From the poem by William Henley the last verse is "It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul." This inspiration was passed from Nelson Mandela to the captain of the South African Rugby team. Morgan Freeman and (a little more surprisingly) Matt Damon are believable and subtle. My main criticisms however would be the cinematography which is bland and the plot which although based on a fantastic political achievement (the abolition of apartheid) is itself otherwise not gripping.
