Goal 3 - Taking On The World (DVD)

***Goal 3 - Taking On The World*** My son has been looking forward to this film since last year. We discovered the first two films and watched them by renting them from Lovefilm. It is imortant to know that in the main the first two films charted the upward path of Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker). These films were no award winners, but they did successfully play out the dream of most little boys. Yes, they definitely appealed to wannabe footballers, but were just enough to keep parents interested too. I had read poor reviews of Goal 3, but I ignored them and thought it can't be that bad - I was wrong... ***Main Cast*** JJ Feild - ...  Read the complete review

GOAL 3 TAKING ON THE WORLD is a movie directed by Andrew Morahan. Following on from the previous two installments Kuno Becker returns as Santiago Munez still playing for Real Madrid and about to sign for Tottenham.

In the film, Santiago is currently playing for Real Madrid, but then it switches to his England ...  Read the complete review

Saw this last night and cannot believe that I even managed to finish watching it, that is how much I din't like this film. Goal I and II were enjoyable even from a non-football fans perspective because you can't help but like the lead character Santiago. Its a story about the poor boy-done good. Santiago is basically scouted and leaves his home country to try out for a Premiership Club. He is taken on by one of those clubs and the first two films show you his rise to fame. This film Goal II didn't rally feature Santiago Munez, the character which we loved in Goal I and II. He features in about 5 minutes in Goal III. The rest of the film was ...  Read the complete review
