not horrible nor great

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This English documentary is very misleading. Check out the footage at 02.40 - it clearly shows an Indian or Pakistani street. We then get introduced to Ronaldo as being brought up in some kind of Brazilian (03.12 and again at 07.38) or Filipino favela (03.40) (which the narrator points out is the poorer area of Madeira - NONSENSE, that kind of housing does not exist there and it never has. The footage clearly shows people of colour (in those favelas) so this could have been filmed in Africa - the greater majority of the Madeira population is white. Yes his upbringing was poor - but NOT that kind of poor. It's disgusting enough that footage about Brasil, Phillipines, Africa and India/Pakistan is used to introduce us to his upbringing. At 07.45 we see he moved to Lisbon where we see part of a stadium on which it can clearly be read "West Stand" - HELLO... In Lisbon their stadium's areas are written in Portuguese not English. The re-enactments by Brazilian actors are also disappointing. Apart from the actual football and live interviews and comments this documentary is hog wash.

Watch this film! Cristiano Ronaldo is one of those athletes that cause a stir wherever he goes - not only because he is an excellent soccer player - but because he owns his star power. This documentary demonstrates this with video footage of Ronaldo on & off the field, along with dramatizations that hone in on the emotion of specific moments in his childhood. I enjoyed seeing Cristiano grow from a youth amateur player to the mega star he is today, and learning things about him I did not know. He has a generous heart and wallet, for example. And, the comparisons to Messi & Beckham - and even Pele - are interesting & food for thought. Overall, this is an entertaining look at an exciting soccer legend in the making.

I'm relatively new to soccer. I've been following as much as I can and I love it! I'm getting to know all about the players. So I was glad I came across this documentary. I recommend this film to all soccer fans. I really liked it. Ronaldo is not bad to look at, so I have to admit that started my fascination. But sounds like he is a very generous person at heart. And hasn't forgotten where he came from. One thing about the film that bothered me, was there were a few parts that were spoken in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish. So I felt like I missed a bit of conversations. But other than that this film was really good. I learned a lot about Ronaldo and how he came to be where he is today. And I would recommend to all soccer fans, especially Ronaldo fans.

Before seeing this documentary all I knew about Ronaldo is that he is attractive, dates models and likes to take his shirt off. However after watching this documentary I learned that there is a lot more to him than the flashy side we often see. First off Ronaldo grew up dirt poor in a small island off the coast of Portugal. He was so poor that he often missed meals. The only thing that got him through was a soccer ball, which he brought with him everywhere he went. Also I learned that he has a huge heart. He tries to give back to his hometown and is known to pay for surgeries of children suffering from cancer. All and all I learned that there is more Ronaldo than meets the eye.
