Rooney

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.

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!

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.

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.

Came in expecting the usual conceited and exaggerated hubris associated with biopics. Wazza happens to be my childhood hero so I wasn't going to mind at all. Boy was I in for a delightful perturbation. The movie doesn't shy away from Wayne's shortcomings as a teammate, professional, role model and most importantly, family man. Its incredulous the amount of scenes where Colleen and Wayne are both visibly uncomfortable not shying away from invasive probing about the cheating and escort scandals. To give context, on social media there's a running joke about Wayne 's affairs occurring annually. Looking from the outside, it feels as though Wayne is making a last ditch attempt to rectify his somewhat tarnished image. He emphasises his discontent with his actions before candidly expressing the desire to be viewed "as a good person." His transgressions are largely attributed to alcohol abuse and unwholesome peer pressure. Rooney fans will no doubt glee as we peer the lenses on his parenting style. Insightful revelations on the origin of Wayne's bullish and passionate approach to football will put you on the edge of your seat. The admiration from legendary rivals such as Thierry Henry and Jose Mourinho exemplify the immensity of Wazza's legacy. Former England coach, Sven-Goran Eriksson finding out on camera how a 21 year-old Wayne Rooney played through a 6-inch groin tear after recovering from the infamous metatarsal injury at the 2006 world cup epitomises the compulsion to succeed for the Three Lions. Avid fans of English football will find themselves in reverence awe as football royalties David Beckham. Rio Ferdinand and Gary Neville recollect early impressions of young Wazza. Although the production addresses an abundance of relevant career related questions, it does exclude one pivotal question. Is Wayne really satisfied? Does he feel he could've handled himself differently and possibly achieved more? Does the former teenage phenom regret not winning a Ballon d'Or? Does he regret routinely arriving to training camps overweight and out shape? Does he regret not living a healthier lifestyle and reaching the longevity of contemporaries such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Despite being Manchester United's greatest goal scorer, is Wayne Rooney at peace with his INDIVIDUAL career? Ultimately the theme of the movie is Wazza's dedication to being the greatest TEAM player ever. Fans can reasonably conclude individual accolades probably have no substance in his path to self-actualisation. Strong recommend for football fans.
