Eddie the Eagle 2015/2016 by AverageMansReviews
Review Time
Warning:
there is flashing effects/medical/references to suicide and bodily functions
In 1973: briefly; the young boy
Michael "Eddie" Edwards [Child: Tom Costello/Teen: Jack
Costello/Adult: Taron Egerton:] this young person decides he wants to become an
Olympian by any legal means necessary, so long story short he decides to go for
a Winter Olympics sport, don't worry nothing too dangerous just the ski jump
that he knows very little on how to perform the sport, so it is very much a
case of he will pick it up as he goes along, luckily enough incomes across Bronson Peary [Hugh Jackman:] he is a snow
slope engineer, that likes his drink, many years ago he was essentially the
maverick of the ski jumping world.
Generally speaking: the
storyline/script, the framework and pacing of this 106 minutes film is good; we
are briskly going through stages of Edwards' life, with, montages and useful
information on screen such a names of places and so on.
Action,
art, character developments and comedy; as I alluded to earlier we have
montages of training; things going wrong in that training, for most parts we
have the general slow motion effects that are required to capture these jumps;
which are in themselves smooth and consequently able to capture the action and
the elegance of this sport, but for one sequence we have this jump from Peary
whilst he is drunk; let's just say it really does stick out, because out of the
rest of them, this one in particular is something different; for a start it
looks more expensive as in this entire sequence, I just didn't like it then
again [I am smarter than your average bear; if this in theory is meant to
capture and incorporate what Peary was like then... I guess they hit it on the
head for what they were going for, speaking of character developments based on
the interpretation of Edwards, it would suggest back then he was a socially
awkward individual, as couldn't deal with women, naked individuals and anything
else really.
Character
developments and performances; on both counts they are reliably good versions
of what they are meant to be; but it does feel like this film does need the
partnership of Egerton and Jackman to be the spearhead of the movie.
This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; I mean if you never seen it;
it is a good watch and yes there are some extra bits and pieces of photos and
finally yes this film has some awards accredited to its name such as 2 Winners;
which includes but not limited to Heartland Film 2016 Truly Moving Picture
Award. 9 Nominees would also include but not limited to Teen Choice Awards 2016
Teen Choice Award Choice Movie Actor: Drama Taron Egerton
