Becoming the G.O.A.T.: The Tom Brady Story

Seriously? They used footage of Grand Rapids and identified it as Brighton. If they can't get something that small correct, why would you believe anything else?

I watched the 80 for Brady movie and this came up as "you might be interested in" on YouTube. The 80 for Brady movie was great to watch, with real footage of Brady playing, but this doesn't have any value as far as a documented backstory. It makes you wonder if the makers of this documentary were desperate since the only people they interviewed were his high school coaches.

I'm glad I only wasted 15 minutes attempting to learn more about the background of Tom Brady before the error tipped me off that this was not a good product.

Too much talk, virtually no live clips. I can't believe Brady would approve this. Boring at best. Don't waste your money. With the history of Tom Brady, this could have been awesome, but it failed terribly.

It's like watching a mockumentary about all the people who think they matter to Tom Brady. I made it about 25 minutes, for most people it won't take that long, but I admit I was fascinated so watched more than necessary.

Somehow every clip, interview, or line of dialogue is impressively boring. Clips of baseball, Brady's school lunch menu, plus a revelation that 6'4 is taller than the average human. They explained hard work is necessary to make it in the NFL. Twice. The last pearl I recall was someone using the phrase "sprinkler-gate", followed by laughter that was more hard work than was honest.

This documentary examines an extraordinary athlete's achievements beyond anything in the history of the NFL. It does this with mundane anecdotes that are generic, yet surgically consistent so everything almost sounds inspiring. It's the kind of presentation from people being incredibly lazy or incredibly terrified of Tom Brady.

Could have done a better job shooting this documentary on my iphone and inserting YouTube clips. Poor interviews, lacks anything meaningful and a complete waste of an hour.

First thing that I've learned from this documentary. If you don't have the budget to do an acceptable job don't tell the story. Except for Charlie Weis there's nobody of any importance in this documentary. Thebmovie doesn't have the rights for any game footage. The movie doesn't tell a coherent story. It's just interview snippets of oddly many German guys that barely or not at all know Brady sprinkled pictures, bad animation and rumors.

For any football fan outside Germany. Avoid this mess. For a football fan from Germany, you too unless you wanna hear the difference between a German and american accent.
