O Time de 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.

Even if you know virtually nothing about the sport of soccer on Manchester United either, this is a really well done film that explores the dynamic of a group of young men coming of age together. You really appreciate having so many people who are actually from Manchester; it's got a coming of age quality to it. Also has nice overtures to the cultural moment of the 1990s. Nice soundtrack of songs from that time as well.

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.

The Class of 92 takes us through the story which has been told time and again but the sheer beauty of how its done bringing the whole culture, the wave of change around Manchester at the time and of course the brilliance of Manchester United and especially 6 home grown talents who grew from being boyhood fans to becoming Legends and history makers for their beloved Manchester United, is a joy to watch. For United fans of this generation, you would already be in love with the protagonists here and its a chance of going and falling in love with your heroes all over again.

Its a truly remarkable motion picture. Anybody associated with football or not must watch this, for its a tale of male friendship, togetherness, discipline, hard work, sacrifice and much much more.
