Rooney

I very seldom write reviews on anything I watch, but after finishing this documentary, I had to. Wayne Rooney is the player that made me love football and made me love Manchester United. This documentary was a great insight into the career of the ultimate team player.

Kudos to the team for the way they approached the sensitive and controversial part of his story and didn't shy away from them. It was fascinating to see what was rooney thinking in the important moments of his career. Loved the scenes with his wife and their little boys.

The sound design is the ultimate MVP of the documentary in my opinion. The use of music and even commentary during the football scenes are so well handled. Congratulations to the director and rest of the team for this treat for all football fans.

I've been a big fan of Man Utd and Derby County for all my life. This documentary sounds tailor made for somebody like me.

While I enjoyed it, there was nothing in there that I didn't already know.

Wayne came across well, he talked to the camera openly and honestly, and has matured into a top bloke.

I can't imagine many non-footballing fans enjoying it much. There isn't enough 'car crash' viewing for a casual watcher, so it may not hold their attention.

Hopefully there might be a follow up when he achieves the impossible this season and keeps DCFC from relegation!

The english football team of 2004-2006 was the golden generation and ronney was the golden boy of that generation. I have been following rooney since his star performance in EURO 2004, How he impressed ferguson and moved to united and made history. But this documentary throws lights on many other aspects of his life. His nature, his raw talent, his character and his opinion on all that he has done on and off the field including acceptance and justification. Perhaps nothing in rooney's life is not known but nevertheless it is a good watch. Rooney was a damn agressive, strong, skilled and definitely a great team player. It felt that rooney knew he was a great player even before starting his club football career. I also liked the interviews of gary neville. The documentary was very nostalgic too. I still remeber the 2006 quarter final red card against portugal.

This documentary is not just about rooney but i think this is about any star sports person. Their perspectives, their challenges and all they need to endure being a star including their rise, their ups and downs and their final innings of hanging their boots and moving on to new things in life.

To me this looked like an elaborate video to seek apology from his wife for all the naughty escapades he has had in the past. I get it, it was a part of his life,but that incident is like 40prcnt of the documentary. I was hoping to see more on his ManUtd days, the rivalries during that time, the dominance, heartbreaks, Post SAF era, some more on his move to MLS and more importantly his new challenge as a manager at Derby. The Derby journey would have given us so much more about the new Wayne that we all want to know more about. All that aside, I liked the part where they showed his rise at England National Team and his struggle with injury before every big international tournament.

Not just about his private life, as advertised, which is good and does not address all story's and sleaze. Its all about his big impact he made as a kid and his football achievements.
