EDDIE THE EAGLE on elokuva yhdestä mäkihyppyhistorian inspiroivimmasta henkilöstä, brittiläisestä mäkihyppääjä Eddie "The Eagle" Edwardsista. Tämä sympaattinen ja hauska tositarinaan perustuva elokuva kertoo periksiantamattomasta ja hyväsydämisestä mäkihyppääjästä, joka ei ehkä voittanut Olympia-mitalia, mutta hän voitti itsensä. Suomalaisetkin muistavat hänet vuoden 1988 Calgaryn olympialaisista, jossa oma ""Flying Finn"" (Matti Nykänen) voitti peräti kolme olympia-kultamitallia. (SF Film Fin.)

A silly family story about a moron following his dream. It's hard to see what this is actually doing in A-list filmmaking, because you're not going to get a more clichéd story this year. Hugh Jackman's character is utterly predictable and, more importantly, severely boring and uninteresting. Taron Egerton plays someone that is supposed to be endearing and we are supposed to sympathise with him, but it doesn't happen. The attempt to recreate the non-confrontational attitude and lightweight drama of Cool Runnings is eye-rolling and annoying, because this patchwork has neither charm nor a interesting story. The only thing that saves it from a total collapse are a few good moments and a really novel ski jumping theme.

A heart-warmer and feelgood movie. Eddie is one stubborn mule who wins over the viewer. Egerton is marvelous, somewhere on the edge between reality and a nice version for the masses, and Jackman’s role is fits him like a glove. The jump with the cigarette was brilliant. Precise direction and a screenplay that sticks to reality, 80’s synth music, great atmosphere and Garmisch-Partenkirchen... I wondered at the jumping ramps as a kid.

Vaughn's style is so noticeable that one is surprised that only produced the movie. The main achievement of the authors is that they were able to withstand the comedic level without making jokes at the expense of Eddie and at the same time did not start regretting him. On the contrary, they sincerely supported him and you will support him too. And what about the fact that it is only a feel-good one time movie, even if it is so successful and functional in all respects. And it is also a stylish feel-good one time movie, which in addition to the playful soundtrack referring to Cool Runnings bring a lot of emotions.

The famous Calgary Olympics did not only have the Jamaican bobsledders, but also – of course – the English ski jumper Eddie Eagle Edwards. And just like the Jamaican bobsledders, he was able to draw all the attention to himself and this movie is about that. I liked the way this movie tells Eddie’s story with absolutely no embellishments. Eddie is introduced as a sort of a silly dreamer who wants to get to the Olympics, so he learns to ski jump in a year and somehow qualifies for the Olympics. In a single year. He must have really embarrassed all the professional ski jumpers who have been training since they were 6 years old; he truly did, in all his splendor. And the amazing drunkard Hugh Jackman has helped him so well that I had the feeling like I was watching Cool Runnings for the first time. That’s also why the Jamaican flag was mentioned in one of the scenes, because the most important thing isn’t really winning, but taking part. And even though the athletes have it complicated, the flying Finn said it very nicely at the end of the movie.

I didn't expect the film to grab me so thoroughly by the balls throughout and not let go until the heartbreaking finale. I already liked Taron Egerton in Kingsman and here he only confirms his acting and charismatic qualities and pulls the film very high with his performance. Hugh Jackman in an unusual role is great. At the end I was bawling like a baby with emotion and joy. Awesome movie. It's not a 5* just because I was expecting a bigger cannonade of jokes. 85%.
