The Eagle (2011)
7/10
I Was Pleasantly Surprised
1 August 2023
Most of the reviews I saw made me almost not watch the movie, especially with all the goofs, historical inaccuracies, and other things that these reviews mentioned. It should be noted that the reviews weren't really wrong, just maybe shouldn't necessarily stop you from watching the movie.

Sure, the movie wasn't perfect; I gave it a 7 not a 10, so obviously I had a couple issues with it too. I am going to focus mostly on the things I enjoyed about it in my review, as the negative issues are well covered by other reviews. Also, since I did overall enjoy the film, I want to focus on that.

I found the movie to be entertaining, as the plot moved fast enough to keep me engaged. The characters were well acted and well written. I was tearing up at times as I could feel for the characters and their struggles. I felt immersed in the story. There were enough parts that weren't immediately predictable, and not too many things felt forced. I liked how the characters seemed genuine.

So, overall, I really liked the film, and was glad I watched it. It isn't my usual preferred genre, and that is another reason I almost didn't watch it. In the end reviews are generally just opinions, so decide for yourself, but I'd like to think you would enjoy it.
