The Class of '92

Great sports documentary. The story of the Manchester United careers of six players - David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Phil Neville - who emerged as Man Utd players at the same time - 1992. More than just a study of their individual careers and performances, a look at what they and Man Utd achieved as a team and, moreover, the camaraderie between them.

It is the camaraderie aspect that makes the movie, giving an emotional content rare in documentaries.

Well-researched, with some interesting and insightful interviews. Quite different in that we don't only have interviews with the six players and their former team-mates but also with some celebrities. The celebrities represent the external view of Man Utd, and add a different dimension to the analysis of the team. The interviews with Mani (of the Stone Roses) were particularly interesting. Danny Boyle was pretty good too. Tony Blair was a bit tedious and pretentious though.

A must-see for any Manchester United Supporter, and really for any sports fan. There can't be too many documentaries that give so accurate a depiction of the brothers-in-arms feeling within a sports team.

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.

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.

as a Liverpool fan I still struggle to re-live that FA cup defeat, back in '99. But this is an amazing story of sport. Very well told, filmed and directed. 6 kids with whom 'you cannot win anything' ended up winning, yes, everything.

Funny, moving, entertaining. You get to know a lot about the character of the players portrayed (especially the ones who kept a lower profile than others.

And a very good insight on Fergie's United. You may love or hate him, but when it came to managing a football club you'll struggle to find many more on the same level as the Scot.

One point deducted, so 9 instead of 10 for the bits with Tony Blair. But that's me, not being able to listen to the sound of his voice.

Perfect otherwise

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.
