The first two Goal! movies was inspiring, but the third one sucked big time
The Goal! movie franchise is about an illegal Mexican immigrant Santiago Munez, a rag to riches story whose success is attributed to his skills on the soccer field, and compassion for love.
For me, I love the first two movies, Goal! 1 back in 2005, Goal! 2 in 2007, and the third one was recently released in June.
And you know what, the third one totally sucked!!
The movie truly ruined the trilogy, and no wonder it was released straight to DVD, with no theatrical release.
I was fuming mad that it ruined my beloved soccer story.
I don’t understand why the main character (Munez) played second fiddle to two completely new unknown jackass character in Goal! 3.
The writer behind it is still the same, Mike Jefferies, who wrote the 1 and 2 movie edition, but the third one totally bombed man! What have you done to the Goal! legacy dude.
I was hoping that Munez will patch-up with his pregnant girlfriend Roz, and ended his career on a high-note with a World Cup trophy with Mexico, or possibly England.
But nooooooooo, the storyline for Goal 3 was so bad, and Munez hardly even touched the ball or have a run in the field. It was all CGI computer generated grass by the way. WTF right!
The producers of this movie I would reckon owes us the fans some kind of explanation or an apology man.
Still there’s hope, the Wikipedia says Goal! is a tetralogy, and not a trilogy. Meaning there’s a fourth movie in the works. Well I do hope there will be one.
The fourth movie truly need to redeem this piece-of-shit of a movie.
Here’s a lowdown why the Goal! III Sucked:
- There’s no Roz (his girlfriend) in the movie.
- There’s no Glen Foy (his scout and close friend) in the movie.
- There’s no Gavin Harris (his cheeky teammate at Newcastle and Real Madrid) in the movie.
- There’s no Barry Rankin (the sleazy soccer agent) in the movie.
- Kuno Becker who plays Munez has hair now and looks pudgy. Not your typical soccer material look.
- Kuno Becker who plays Munez transferred to Tottenham Hotspurs when his Real Madrid contract ended. WTF, from a wonderkid to mid-table player?
- The two new characters Adams and Braithwaite just pops out of nowhere, who they fuck are they? The two character whines most of the time about national squad selection, their soccer contracts, or making an ass of themselves when babes are around.
- Most football footages are stock World Cup footage, where’s the originality?
- The extensive used of green screen, instead of filming on real sets. How expensive could it be to shoot on real grass. Blimey, you can use the empty field behind my apartment, it looks far better than the fake grass.
- Overall there’s no continuity from the last movie, and is a stand-alone movie. It was an awful 84 minutes sitting through Goal! 3 for me.
wow dead on i turned it off after 30 mins it was fucking retarded, goal 1 was awesome, goal 2 was good but this movie was the biggest piece of shit of all time, munez all said i cant imagine having a kid bitch ur gf was like 8 months pregnant what the fuck happend to that!! this writer obv shot his wad through the 1st 2 movies, and had none left for the 3rd.
Amen brada!
yes, I am so pissed off…beyond imagination…what the hell were they thinking…goal III is pathetic…..oh man……this smells to total discrimination….this story is about Santi….his life as a soccerplayer and his friends, family and ofcourse his girlfriend….what happened to the directors and producers and writer of this story….were they flipping on acid or what…how can they be so stupid , they should be ashamed of what they have done to this movie…
Guys, I almost burst into tears after watching this movie. When I found out that Goal 3 was released, I was jumping up and down trying desperately to download it regardless of even wanting to read the comments and ratings, instead, wanting to preserve my anticipation for the long awaited movie. I was in absolute shock when I reached about 15 mins into the movie; I thought it was a fucking fan-made movie or someshit. But when I checked out the comments and all, I was convinced that it was the actual film. I don’t think this movie is even rated for a B-Movie, I think it will find itself further down the fucking alphabet. Funny isn’t it? the first and second movie of the series that I thought were an inspiration and a great source of entertainment for me, finalizing in a gay, motherfucking, dickholicness, bitch-ass, $2 cheapass graphic movie that stinks more than my own shit in the morning. I fucking hope they make another one that actually fucking CARRIES ON from the second movie and put a little bit of fucking effort in graphics and storyline…and the dam ACTORS!! At least get actors who can fucking ACT! WTF! Did the fucking director, or, writer for that matter, have their heads up their asses whilst making this fucking movie? I hope they get raped for making such a shittiass ‘sequel’…assholes! What a big fucking waste of time and anticipation!!….NOW IM GONNA EAT A TUB OF ICE-CREAM AND CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP!
u say it right benchman!!
AMEN!
AGREE!
Oh man .. If i would have to choose between end of the world and watching this movie (or whatever it is) again .. I guess I would watch the movie , but It would be a tough decision !
Hahaha, the movie that bad eh for you. Same here.
i totally agree with all above comments.it is so dissapointing.i have written a lil of my dissapointment in my blog and… I guess, i do not have any more to say express how dissapointing it was. 2 things, firstly i tot i had grab the wrong movie, and oh no! it is the correct one, and number two, i wasnt really watching but bz with the FWD and asking myself, can i believe this??? maybe those ppl in the making of this are now suffering from short term memory lost or some kind of i dunno what. anyone know will there be any goal 4 or whatsoever? can this be their marketing whatever strategy or somewhat? i need reason for this… totally unacceptable!
This movie was a completly diffrent movie from the first 2 this should have been a diffrent title movie and not the sequel to the first 2 It leaves you wondering wtf happend to santis story he just met his mom & brother his girl is pregnant the director had plenty of story to go off of he has no excuse for this complete waste of film
that is!
really shit!
I love 1 and 2,but 3?
i think they must change the directer or there are some other important thing change.
This is the worst fuckin movie i’ve ever seen in my life.I actually feel dumber after watching this. There is no continuity whatsoever from the first two films. There was a part in the movie where “santi” tells “sophia” that he knows what it’s like to love someone and that he messed it all up.Doesn’t say how or anything. That’s the closest it gets to a sequel. This movie is flat out shit.I dont want to reitterate what everybody else has said, but this movie is a straight up dissapointment.
Ive just totally wasted 10 mins or so of my life watching this piece of shit! 10 min bcause I kept on skipping the awful scenes bit by bit. Theres no word to describe my frustration! I feel like banging my head against the wall and like a poster in here said, buy an ice cream n cry myself to sleep!
This is totally the biggest SHIT movie ever produced by a human! The producer n director should be sent to a prison with nothing else to watch but an endless list of shit movies playing nonstop in front of their eyes ala clockwork orange!
What global warming, weve got ourselves a bigger issue here!
I agreed Goal III was SHIT the first and second ones were good but what the fuck was up wif goal III. They better not make a Goal 4
Five words sum up why Goal 3 was a piece of shite:
MIKE ASHLEY WAS IN IT
Instead of “Taking on the World” it should say “Taking it up the Ass” as that is how I feel
after watching this movie.
There are legendary movies, great movies, good movies, okay movies, bad movies, very bad movies, very very bad movies and there is GOAL 3. I simply don’t know is there any bracket for GOAL 3.
After watching GOAL 1 and GOAL 2. GOAL 3 is definitely a big big dissapointment. The GOAL 3 doesn’t have any goal in particular. GOAL 3 have no direction and it is so pathetic that still when I think of it I feel like to through up.
A big big dissapointment and please dont buy the DVD.
Biggest shit ever!
I totally agree. I loved goal 1 and 2. the movie had a mixture of soccer and storyline to it that it was good for anyone to watch and enjoy it. by the end of the second movie i was crying and i wanted to know more. i mean come on it even says to be continuied….. you cant leave such an amazing and emotional story like this unfinished and tell us you are going to contiue it and not finish it. There better be a goal 4 because i am dying to see what happens to santiago and roz and their baby. I really just want to forget goal 3 even happened because it was a waste of time. There was no story to it and it really doesnt even belong in the goal movies because it was a totally different storyline. I dont understand why santiago wasnt in goal 3 more. he is what the movies were about and he should be the main character like he was in the other 2 especially because they didnt even finish his story. anyways i really hope there is a fourth one that finishes the story and gives us their happy ending.
Wow GOAL 3 is BS!!! wtf happens with him and his girl!? and at the end of goal 2 it says “to be continued” WTF!!! it didnt continue jack crap! and i stopped the movie after 15 mins!!! couldnt stare at the queers mole anymore!
intro was good apart form no harris,instead two retards who have come out of nowhere,plus who dies in a football match surly they would have picked up a head injury as bad as that… SHIT SHIT SHIT no originality and obviously they couldn’t be ARSED to get real stars, TWATS
My hope is that since they are making a 4th movie, the 3rd one was simply a way to get more funding for the “actual” ending to the story of Santi. My take on it is: they make a crap movie, fill it with random fillers, hope the franchise name of Goal will sell it, and then use whatever cash they get from this to create a bigger budget finale. It could just be me talking out my ass, but I hope there is a reason for such a bad movie. Unless of course the people in charge were just high on PCP the whole time.
This movie tanked like you wouldnt freaking believe … I actually wanted to email the director and ask him for my money back that I spent renting this garbage !!!
