Eddie the Eagle is heartwarming at some moments... and then heartbreaking... and then completely turns out to be complete nonsense mix-match other than those heartwarming and heartbreaking moments.

It is mostly what one would expect from the genre: a feel good, triumph over adversity story with a good heart. But it also suffers from some of the limitations of the genre: corny, predictable and manipulative. Still, it is unoffensive, sweet and mostly based on a true story. You could take kids to it or your mother. Just don't have expectations that are too high. Expand

This movie was ok to be honest it got better with time however it was a heart felt movie. I could have waited for the movie to come out on Blu ray but I saw it in the theater.

I could have waited for the movie to come out on Blu ray but I saw it in the theater. It's a great movie over all but not the best movie that I've seen in a few months. Expand

I really want to love Eddie The Eagle, I really do, but at this point I can just say it’s an OK movie. It’s biggest strength is the central performance from Taron Egerton which excels the film,I just don’t think this is the film for me. I’mI really want to love Eddie The Eagle, I really do, but at this point I can just say it’s an OK movie. It’s biggest strength is the central performance from Taron Egerton which excels the film,I just don’t think this is the film for me. I’m getting a bit bored of sports film cliches and I think this film has cemented that for me. It had some good humour in it, there is some decent acting and the period accuracy is pretty well done, but I know this film could have been so much better. This film could have been the ‘feel good british comedy of the year’, but as it stands, it’s just one to play at Christmas when there is not much else on. I think this film will appeal much more to people that experienced this event in the 80’s and want a bit more of an in depth analysis of what actually happened. I can only really recommend this film to those people, anyone born from 1990 onwards, probably should skip it. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate this movie, it’s just OK and I was highly entertained watching it, just not as much as I would have liked to have been. Expand

Good movie. Taron Egerton really brings "Eddie the Eagle" to life with another great performance. He has proven he is a up-incoming superstar in acting. And of course Hugh Jackman charming as ever. Really emotional some times and a greatGood movie. Taron Egerton really brings "Eddie the Eagle" to life with another great performance. He has proven he is a up-incoming superstar in acting.

I remember watching the Winter Olympics with Eddie the Eagle. I also remember the Jamaican bobsled team. While the story is interesting, the back story makes for a boring movie.

While the story is interesting, the back story makes for a boring movie. Does everyone in England have the same facial mannerisms or did this actor copy Sherlock from "Elementary"? Expand

There isn't much to say about Eddie The Eagle; as it is exactly what you would expect from an underdog sports movie. It has lovable characters who do the impossible, cheesy music to get the feel of the era, and provides a warm- hearted feelThere isn't much to say about Eddie The Eagle; as it is exactly what you would expect from an underdog sports movie. It has lovable characters who do the impossible, cheesy music to get the feel of the era, and provides a warm- hearted feel to the audience. While Eddie attempts to go deeper into his interesting life, it mainly stays to the very predictable sports formula. The acting is fine and a few scenes are quite suspenseful. In addition, I liked how the tone was lighter and more playful over other films of the same type. Overall, while Eddie is charming and full of heart; it does have a very predictable and cliched sports plot. Unless you're a sucker for these type of feel- good sports movies, it's not really worth watching. Expand

I didn't like it as much, but it had some great moments. The acting was the strongest thing in this movie, everyone did a good job. The story started good, but went on for way to long, and that bored me. It is worth a watch anyway.
