The Greatest Game Ever Played

Meu filme favorito da vida com o filme que mudou a minha vida no caso essência e personalidade positivamente e um final que chorei e vi esse filme 4 vezes e as quatro são maravilhosas

So I'm watching this movie and of course I'm fast forwarding to the movie when I get bored with a scene, not unlike we were soldiers or any other movie that drags, st Vincent is unwatchable. Movies like Schindlers list and the great escape I never felt the urge to forward the movie. This movie has its moments, but there is a lot of filler scenes. I asked my friend what his fav golf movie was, it was this one, I like tin cup. Trying to think of other golf movies, can't think of any. I just want to say that i rewatched the great escape. I skipped through the motorcycle scene seen it many times. but the movie carriers nicely never dull, a good movie should carry nicely

Based on a book by Mark Frost about the true story of Francis Ouimet, played by Shia LaBeouf, the amateur champion of the 1913 U.S. Open golf tournament. A few things were changed from the historical record to add drama and tension and they work well in this context. Shia LaBeouf plays a more modern young man than I would have liked, but his character is likable and you do root for him. Josh Flitter plays Ouimet’s young caddie, Eddie Lowery and steals the show. There are some good camera angles and special effect shots during this film. Overall, I think this movie is worth your time.

The greatest game ever played

As a golf fan, this is a much watch. There are some subtle details in this film that are worth noting. The "blackout" Francis had when he made 6 birdies in a row to qualify, and his hand shaking on the putter during his final putts are details that golf fans will appreciate a little more then the average watcher. This film illustrates amazingly on how professional golfers most likely feel during tournaments, while highlighting how much of the game is very much an individual and mentally challenging sport. With some heartfelt moments and Eddie helping you through it, this film deserves the hype when it comes to underdog stories.

I'll probably be very biased reviewing this because I love this film, if you are a sports fan and play golf it's a must watch, it shows someone staring adversity in the eye and fighting back with strength, dignity and respect. I love it and it's one of my all time favourites, it is a true underdog story and what makes it better is that it's based quite closely on a true story! Shia Lebeouf is fantastic and produces a master class in this film, loved it and will definitely watch again, anyone who loves their golf will love this film because it gives hope to the amateurs! Top 5 of all time films for me (maybe because I love golf)

Solid story about Ouimet and his rise to win the US Open in the early 1900s. LaBeouf before he got weird and little Eddie was just the right touch as caddy.

Simply an amazing movie, a story that gets to you with incredible performances al around. Shia Lebouf is incredible as Ouimet, Stephen Dillane as the opposing figure (cause he is not a bad guy in the movie or a villain) it's also greatly achieved, Elias Koteas as Ouimet father achieves a lot with little screen time, Josh Flitter brings an amazing Eddie to the scree. I would suggest Disney to use these movies as example of what they did right

It could be a really solid sports drama, but it fails to deliver enough substance to qualify. The overuse of effects and panning camera shots don't work, and detract from the story. The poorly scripted one-liners and snide remarks meant to add weight to the rivalry between the US and non-American players, just feel out of place. It lacks the warmth and emotion of the likes of ‘Bagger Vance', which is unfortunate. Costumes and Setting are spot on, and some of the performances are good, but overall this is forgettable
