Invincible is an Awesome Football Film with a great Cast!!
What a movie...
Invincible is great, it's well acted and is an incredible true-story. Mark Wahlberg is great as Vince Papali and Greg Kinnear is superb as Coach Dick Vermeil.
The movie itself is awesome. The movie not only features great football action, but also a look inside the life of an average Philadelphian circa 1976. I not only enjoyed every aspect of this movie. The fact that it's based on a true story makes it that much better.
Walt Disney makes the best sports movies, and this film is no exception.
Final Verdict:
5/5
Rent or Buy?: Sports or Football fan? This film is a must own. Just another great football movie to add to the collection.
IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.
Invincible is the powerful and charming story of an ordinary fan turned profession athlete with the Philidelphia Eagles. Mark Whahlberg can do no wrong, especially in this role cast as Vince Papale. This is a movie of hard work, sarcifice, and struggle, but it doesn't dwell on those things. This movie is about how increadible things can happen to anyone with a dream and a little luck. You don't have to be a football fan to appriciate this movie, it's great for any audience. There's even enough romance to watch this on your next date.
Although a Dsiney moive this may be intended for adult viewers, but just awesome non the less, game play scenes look amazing and it looks like actors really knew how to play their roles.
First off, I graded it good, and not excellent, b/c by my standards its not, but it's not just good either; its somewhere in between. I love the storyline, and the fact that it's based on a true story is always a plus...it's like "Rudy" on higher level. Everyone loved that movie. If you liked "Rudy", you'll like this. It's a bit slow at times, but still a grade-A movie. Just not an A+. A good sports movie all around though. Mark Wahlberg does a great job in this movie, and he really beefed up for it.
I first watched Invincible when I was distracted and didn't get the emotion like I did last night watching Invincible.
In my town last year talk radio was filled with the question about a certain quarter back who was indicted on several felony counts, on whether the NFL was entitled to ban him for life. For me here is the deal and this film illustrates it very well, when you put on a uniform, you represent something, in this case an NFL team, and more to the point a City. If you act in a way that disrespects the people you represent, you forfeit the right to represent those people.
In Invincible, Philadelphia in the mid -seventies is a city beset by hard times, and the Eagles were faring no better. Vince Papale's life was so symbolic of his home town, you couldn't have made it more so through fiction. As this true story "Rocky" kind of tale goes on, Vince's father takes him to the side and tells him "When I told you not to get your hopes up, I never told you that I wouldn't get mine up.... Those stories I used to tell you about... [Eagles Football] that touch-down got me through 30 years [of factory work]. That to me is the center of this story, people who live humble lives may not have much to hold to (God and Country being excepted for my point) you might not have a college to hold to as your team etc., but cities with Pro teams can give the average Joe an identity and loyalty.
So again, here's the deal, I don't want to hear from Pro Athlete's about they aren't paid to be role models, because if they aren't what are they paid for?
correct discription. good products. I ordered a brand new product and when I recieved it it was still in very good condition. I would buy from this seller again.
the product is great i am tickled pink. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I don't normally get to into sports films but, there are the rare exceptions such as Rocky and Invincible. It follows the true life hardships and day to day life of Vince Pappoli (not sure of the spelling). One of the best things about the blu-ray is that they interview him and go into detail about his life. Another thing that makes this awsome is if you put it on uncompressed audio the hits are like you're standing on the sidelines or maybe even on the field. The interviews include Vince and some of his former team mates including Dick Vermil.
EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I ENJOY THE MOVIE. THE PRODUCT IS MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE THROUGH E-BAY, AND THAT'S WHY I CHOSE TO BUY IT ON E-BAY. I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE GOT IT THROUGH CHAIN RETAIL STORE. I APPRECIATE THE SELLER FOR OFFERING AT SUCH A FAIR PRICE.
I was alittle upset that when I go to the post office I had to pay more for the postage bc what I had already paid was not enough to cover the movie!!But nothing bad other than that !! thank you !!
Invincible, released in 2006, is another good sports movie to add to your evergrowing "Tough Guy" DVD collection. Mark Wahlberg is quite likeable as true life professional football player Vince Papale, Greg Kinnear delivers another strong performance as Philadelphia Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil and Elizabeth Banks is lovely and believable.
An inspiring storyline, a little romance and a great soundtrack mean an enjoyable evening of family entertainment awaits. It's definitely not in the class of `Rudy' or `Rocky', but then what is?
I liked the way the seller presented the DVD it caought my eye and they sold it at a resonable price. I was satisfied with the overall transaction as well as with the seller they stand behind what they are selling. Now a days there is a lot of people who do not do that. Overall I was satisfied with everything that is why the seller deserves excellence for the overall transaction. Thanks
this movie took a while to get going but it really was worth it Mark Wahlberg does a great job as the original character and in the end it has a great finale
Great Movie for all ages and a good story line as well just what you would expect from Walt Disney Pictures
Love blu-ray movies, but don't like the heafty price? This was a great value for the blu-ray of this Disney flick. We enjoy the clarity and richness of this format. Recommend this less costly alternative to usual retail sources.
