Goal 2

A not very good sequel that splutters and fails to deliver in much the same way as the first. All the expected plot points are present and correct as are all the cliched characters. Becker is once again dreadful whilst Friel is mildly disappointing, more so than before. The film also lacks in imagination which results in an overlong and somewhat boring experience. A mention must go to Nivola who is as entertaining here as he was previously, he is the only performer who manages to inject chari... More

Not as good as the first

I adored the film film. Loved it really. This one's also cliched but enjoyable nonetheless. For "Goal" Fans this film isn't a big disappointment. ... More

RE: Goal II: Living the Dream

Doesn't look like Goal 3 will even get made according to Michael Apted who is/was lined up to direct; d says he does not believe the third film in the "Goal" football film series will ever get made, despite him being linked to it, mostly due to the failure of the film's in the US. "The second one was such a disaster in the US. Now Beckham has signed for LA Galaxy, but I really don't think that will have much of an effect... Football is not in Americans’ DNA. It’s no good for TV. I don... More

RE: Goal II: Living the Dream

Saw the first one at a Charity Premier as I was interviewing Kuno Becker for the student newspaper. It was an enjoyable albeit predicable film so I didn't mind seeing the sequel. More of the same just with Santi facing the trials of being successful cue a string of cliches (exotic Spanish admirers, strained relationship with his girlfriend, injury..) but will his friendship with football's premier playboy Gavin Harris help save the day?! Was there any ever doubt? A solid 3 star f... More

RE: Goal II: Living the Dream

L: Philconcannon Fair point. In my defence, I usually take great care to avoid surprising plot details or unexpected twists when writing my reviews, but in this case I don't really see it as an issue. I knew before the film started that there was a 90% chance of it ending in exactly the same way as the first film, and I reckon there's a 90% chance that the third film will conclude in a similar manner; it's that kind of movie. As far as I can see, there's really not a lot to spoil - and the... More

Goal II: Living the Dream

When David Beckham recently signed for American side LA Galaxy, the makers of g the Dream must have had mixed feelings about the move. Sure, Beckham’s increased profile in the US might be good for the picture’s chances of making an impact there, but it does render this second instalment in the football trilogy even more outdated than it already was. antiago Munez (Kuno Becker) making the move from the Premiership to La Liga, swapping the black and white of Newcastle for the all-white stri... More
