Will (2012)

Well This is my first review ever and of all the movie i choose this one as I have never seen a movie with this much emotional connect for their beloved club. I saw this movie from a fan perspective and ignored the minute details that could be improved.There is Liverpool everywhere in the movie but this was what movie all about, the limit to which football fans can go to support their club and country. And Will the little boy makes his journey against all odds through his sheer will power to fulfill a dream he saw with his father. This movie shows how a game can play a common ground for people with different ethnicity, culture and how a Yugoslavian found a cause to rediscover himself. Starts with different fantasies that we all have as a child, in middle it throws the challenges and struggles and ending is in miraculous mode.I enjoyed every bit of it ....

they don't make many movies with a soccer story line to them.i just finished watching will. runs a very close 2nd to the cup for favorite soccer movies.i saw it as a soccer theme movie but with a Charlie and the chocolate factory flavor. a very delightful. heart warming movie that also includes pain and sorrow. its rated pg and a great family movie. well worth the watch great timing also with the world cup less than 2 weeks away.the kids are sure to enjoy this film along with the cup and bend it like Beckham

When what looks to be a film's strongest point abruptly disappears towards the end of the first act, it can only hope to be so enjoyable. This is the case for the quasi-inspirational and very family-friendly Will; the story of an orphan boy (Perry Eggleton) hell bent on honouring his father's (Homeland's Damian Lewis) dying wish by travelling from England to Istanbul in time to watch his beloved Liverpool compete in the 2005 Champions League Final. The story of a determined child thriving in an open and dangerous world is likely to appease the kiddies, but the film contains little additional stimulation, bogged down by contrived storytelling, unnatural dialogue and painstaking predictability.Lewis rises above a lame duck of a script and puts the team on his back with a man-of-the-match performance as Will's father. Disappointingly- and to make his son's journey that much more poignant- he is killed off right out of left field courtesy of a brain haemorrhage. The melodramatic sloppiness of that scene foreshadows what is to come, as the rest of the film plays out as a muddled combination of unrealistic highs and crushingly depressing lows, none of which manage to suspend disbelief long enough to warrant recommendation. A simple film at heart, Will proves ironically challenging for anyone over twelve, football fan or not.*There's nothing I love more than a bit of feedback, good or bad. So drop me a line on [email protected] and let me know what you thought of my review. If you're looking for a writer for your movie website or other publication, I'd also love to hear from you.*

This is the most inspirational film I've seen in a long time. Ignore the critics—many who have criticized the emotional intensity of this film. Perhaps they are uncomfortable with their own emotions. If you have an open heart you will LOVE this movie. This is a film about overcoming life's obstacles by staying true to your heart. You will laugh, cry, feel excited, disappointed, sad, and exhilarated. This film has beautiful cinematography (see it on a big screen!) and music depicting a moving story of passion (Will's passion for football). If you're not already a Liverpool fan, seeing this movie will make you one!
