Eddie the Eagle - Movie Review
Matthew Brady - wrote on 04/06/16
Eddie the Eagle is the true definition of a feel-good movie and I honestly didn't expect that while going in (The movie had mixed reactions). This may be another one of those inspirational underdog stories that we usual get, but I'll give this one a pass, since this movie did leave a smile on my face and I can't recall being bored while watching it.
Taron Egerton plays Eddie Edwards who's flawed, an outsider and always overlooked, and you can't help but like him. Taron Egerton did an excellent performance, as he was charming and very likable. Hugh Jackman was also great, as the best parts of this movie is with him and Taron. The movie is inspirational, delightful and the cinematography in this is just crazy good, I mean just wow.
The problems I have for this movie has to be with some of the writing, as it felt kind of sloppy at times, but that's really it.
Overall Eddie the Eagle isn't perfect, but I already know this movie has uplifted many moviegoers out there....even me.
