Review of United

United (I) (2011)
7/10
good sports inspirational movie
18 August 2013
United is based on the true story of Manchester United's legendary "Busby Babes", the youngest side ever to win the Football League and the 1958 Munich Air Crash that claimed eight of the their number. Jimmy Murphy (David Tennant) is the assistant manager and Bobby Charlton (Jack O'Connell) is one of their young players.

It's a good story and another inspirational sports story. It doesn't play as well in the US. Nobody cares about "FootttBall". But I'm sure it's incredibly powerful in UK. It's like a Hockey movie in Canada or a Baseball or Football movie in US. I don't see anything exceptional here. Just a well done inspirational movie. Certainly I don't know anybody portrayed in this. Afterwards, I don't necessarily care much more about what happened.
