Ronaldo [DVD]

The best doc of him!!

Extremely well done film focused on different aspects of CR7's life - football, fatherhood, family, fame. Between a challenging childhood, a professional career at such a young age, exceptional athletic talent, worldwide notoriety and good looks, I'm impressed he's been able to stay on the path of success and not fall prey to the usual demons that haunt "superstars". Even though this is more like a curated version of CR7 (what else would one expect?), it's still fascinating, even to a non-football fan like myself. The part where he's berated by an American fan for not autographing her ball was so embarrassing (as a fellow Yank) and unfortunately emblematic of Merican sense of entitlement; SMH.

Wow. Wow. Wow!!!! What an incredible film. Let me just say this, this man loves his family and his friends. It showed a man who suffers and sacrifices and strives for the BEST for his family and the sport he loves in the best way he knows how. This is one of the BEST modern films I've seen, in terms of showing the human person fighting and sacrificing. It also gets some incredible scenes of his adorable (warning: cuteness overload!) son, his amazing mother, his father, brother, and his extended family who fight for him everyday against a crazy world. Through hard work, suffering, failures and having a positive outlook on life, this film showed one mans journey to be the best he can be in every aspect of his life. And his mother *almost* aborted him. My father was *almost* aborted as well. Life is sacred. Life is a gift. Life is worth living.

Amazing! This film is a must for a Cristiano Ronaldo fan. It exceeded all my expectations. The filmmakers did a great job of completely staying out of the narrative. There are no interview-style shots; nothing scripted. You completely forget there is a camera crew involved. The pace of the film and tight editing make you lose track of time. There are no slow moments or changes in the flow. The content is very clear and, even with numerous flashbacks, there is no confusion. It is a very personal film without being awkward. "Real and honest" is the best description. You can't help but go through the same emotions as people involved. Any CR7 fan would already know all the factual information in the film, but watching it makes you feel as if you've now lived through all those events yourself.

Ronaldo was a squeaky clean documentary about a great soccer player. There is plenty of footage of Ronaldo in his personal life. If you know Ronaldo's personal story already there is not much new news. In fact the thing I felt was that many of the personal scenes were staged for the documentary to put Ronaldo in the best possible light. No womanizing. Plenty of moments with his son. Rather a shallow look at his life. Overall I was not left with much of an impression either way. He is a great soccer player and makes lots of money and loves his family and has a nice house (at least one) and some really nice cars. He is raising his son alone but no information about the mother...it is implied that he had his son and there is no connection to the biological mother anymore. That is all you ever find out.I would have loved it if he talked more about soccer and his technique. He seemed to place a lot of value in the "Best Player in the World" title...like that is what motivates him...to beat Messi.

a human story of a man with inhuman spirit and strength who knew what he wanted and had the right people and circumstances to pursue his dreams. very admirable man. a winner.

Motivational and inspirational. Cristiano Ronaldo made a brave move to show who he really is and how hard he really works, despite what the press is always saying. Amazing cinematography. The sub-titles should not be a deterrent, only portions are in Portuguese, and the subtitles are clear and not overwhelming. An honest look at the hard work and loving spirit of an incredible athlete. I would recommend this for anyone who's looking for some inspiration in achieving your dreams. Obrigado Cristiano.

I absolutely love it I have watch other documentaries on Cristiano I watch Cristiano Ronaldo The world at his feet I didn't personally care for it this documentary gives you a inside personal look inside Cristiano's life and everything is in his words he shows vulnerable side his family and friends are so in the movie I think any true Cristiano Ronaldo fan will love it appreciate it it's definitely worth a watch way better then any other documentary your gonna find on Cristiano.
