The Class of '92

The Class Of 92 as players need little introduction, the 90s belonged to Manchester United & at the core of that success were a few young lads, mates, who not only lived their dreams, they did it together & made history. This film tells that story & gives us an insight into what it was like, the film is much more than just the football, it is a look back at a brilliant decade when Manchester was leading the way both on & off the field. Growing up most young lads can only dream of what these lads went on to achieve & for us sat at home being all nostalgic about the beautiful 90s, it is a treat !!! I really cant recommend this highly enough, a 10 from me !!!!

Football documentary following the fortunes of six Manchester United players and how they became legends at the club.

I'm not a Manchester United fan but this is an enjoyable and well put together film that shows the camaraderie and passion these young men had as they became global names within the game.

There is a lack of footage at times and I would have preferred to know more like when Beckham left for Real Madrid and the dynamics within the dressing with new players arriving but the six players come across well and have some entertaining and interesting anecdotes especially about "that night in Barcelona".

The inclusion of Clive Tyldesley adding commentary to a few clips wasn't necessary and neither is Tony Blair's input but Danny Boyle and Mani give good accounts.

I grew up as an united fan. I am really proud to be one. I have never written any reviews to any movies but for this once i had to. It is not all just about the movie it is about the history of man united. Those six players bekham, scholes, neville brothers, giggs, butt and others i will never forget them. They are my idols and will always represent united. I knew how the winning the treble was like in the you tube videos but this movie showed how those young generation went through at that time and won those trophies and heart of the fans at that age. It showed how the football life was all about at that time. Ups and downs face by those players.You will get goosebumps through out the movie and every goal they score you feel like it is happening live. Great players, great manager and great fans and off course great history that's Manchester united.

This is a remarkable film. It is a revealing insight into a time which is embedded into the cultural psyche of any football fan or indeed, any sports fan. Of course, if one is a Man Utd fan (like myself) it is an absolute treat!

I defy any Utd fan not to get a lump in their throat as they relive Beckham's wonder goal from the halfway line against Wimbledon, or Giggs' gravity-defying dribble and match-winner against Arsenal in the the semi-final replay of '99, or Ole Gunnar Solskjær's toe-poked winner against Bayern Munich in the epic Champions League final of '99.

It's not just a catalogue of footballing highlights however. It gives a real insight into the mindset and environment these working-class, soon-to-be superstars were nurtured in.

I know all film-making is manipulation, clever editing and good story-telling, but it is difficult to believe that the relaxed, raw and even hilarious anecdotal banter between the now legendary players, is anything other than genuine, transparent, respect and admiration for each other.

The blend of talent, ability, dedication, character, camaraderie and ultimate history-making achievement between these young footballers is like a far-fetched story from a kids' football magazine. Yet it is all true.

I firmly believe that the current infrastructure of football doesn't permit this kind of situation from ever occurring again. We live in a different world now.

As a side-note, the current under-performing Man Utd team (and manager) should watch this together to remember the amazing legacy they are trying to preserve.

The setup: The Class of 92, a cinematic documentary detailing the rise to prominence and global sporting superstardom of six supremely talented young Manchester United footballers (David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil and Gary Neville). The film covers the period 1992-1999, culminating in Manchester United's European Cup triumph, and will dramatically interweave and mirror the highs and lows of its football odyssey with the immense social and cultural changes taking place in Britain at the time.

The verdict: Quality work that draws you in and doesn't let you go. I suggest this movie to everyone. Seven out of ten.
