Cristiano Ronaldo: World at His Feet (2014) Reviews

• I'm now a Ronaldo fan!

  I thought this was a very well made documentary. The film goes over his childhood and how he came to where he is today. It also goes into some comparisons between him and Beckham, paparazzi stories, his generous donations and a somewhat secretive child he has. I learned a lot about Ronaldo. I had no idea he was such a caring person. We usually just see him as this flashy guy. But it seems he really takes care of people. He is very kind and generous with his money. And it seems, he's not just tossing his money around either, but takes the time to stop and listen to whoever he is helping. I definitely see him differently than I did before I watched this film.

• A compelling documentary about a famous athlete

  Before seeing this documentary all I knew about Ronaldo is that he is attractive, dates models and likes to take his shirt off. However after watching this documentary I learned that there is a lot more to him than the flashy side we often see. First off Ronaldo grew up dirt poor in a small island off the coast of Portugal. He was so poor that he often missed meals. The only thing that got him through was a soccer ball, which he brought with him everywhere he went. Also I learned that he has a huge heart. He tries to give back to his hometown and is known to pay for surgeries of children suffering from cancer. All and all I learned that there is more Ronaldo than meets the eye.

• Very interesting documentary on an amazing athlete.

  I really enjoyed this documentary. I liked learning about Cristiano's childhood and his family. There's also lots of interesting tidbits. For example, as a child he was more of a quiet individual and now he poses for ads in his underwear (his own brand). Nothing wrong with that, I loved all the images of Cristiano in this film. There's also an interesting piece in this documentary where there is an astrologer, who directly relates Cristiano's communication style with his astrological sign. He said since Cristiano is an Aquarius that is partly why he excels in his communication. I don't know if that's true, but very interesting and is working for Cristiano. Before watching this film, I wouldn't have called myself a Cristiano fan, but now I am.

• Great Ronaldo documentary!

  I'm relatively new to soccer. I've been following as much as I can and I love it! I'm getting to know all about the players. So I was glad I came across this documentary. I recommend this film to all soccer fans. I really liked it. Ronaldo is not bad to look at, so I have to admit that started my fascination. But sounds like he is a very generous person at heart. And hasn't forgotten where he came from. One thing about the film that bothered me, was there were a few parts that were spoken in Spanish and I don't speak Spanish. So I felt like I missed a bit of conversations. But other than that this film was really good. I learned a lot about Ronaldo and how he came to be where he is today. And I would recommend to all soccer fans, especially Ronaldo fans.

• Very incorrect facts

  How can you miss that Ronaldo is Portuguese in a Documentary.... Not Spanish and Sporting Clube de Portugal e as the name says a club from Portugal and not Spain... Keep your facts in check. This asides think the documentary is boring... I had never written on here before but i had to say something. A documentary has to be as accurate as possible and not just a hole lot of trivial things... In deed this is a very poor documentary!!!! The only thing that is worth a wile is that they tried to show what a good person Ronaldo really is.
