Test T I watched this on DVD a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. A fearlessly ambitious British competitor setting out to triumph in the winter Olympics against a wealth of native talent has huge underdog appeal, but the chosen sport in this case is such a terrifying spectacle that the film can not fail but to command the viewers attention. The DVD extras explaining how the film was made were also very interesting and informative. Highly recommended. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Lulu F Everytime I watch this film, I feel uplifted and full of joy. As well as showing the true grit and determination of Mr Edwards, it also showed how normal, working class people are kept suppressed and stunned by the ruling elite class. Even now, in 2024, it's no different, if anything, much worse. It was truly amazing that Eddie the Eagle was able to climb above the baracades, and shine for a brief time. It may have been brief but everyone from my generation still remembers the headlines, and the news footage about him, from that time. It was such a momentous, and memorable thing. Eddie, and this film about him, has gone on to inspire millions of people, across the entire globe. Such a shame that he got robbed of his earnings after his success, which then prompted him to become qualified as a lawyer. What a truly amazing man he is! I'm so pleased this film was made, to keep inspiring future generations, who may themselves feel battered by a system that really doesn't care about them. Thank you, Eddie Edwards, for entertaining us, in so many ways, beating the establishment, if only briefly, and many congratulations for all the achievements you've had, in your most fascinating life. Thank you for being a hero, to so many.
