I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Invictus ‎starring Morgan Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, Captain of the rugby team the Springbok. Both actors were at the top of their game. I own the DVD and the book. In the book…

Good retelling of Mandela's story. However, I was rather disappointed that Americans played the pivotal roles in this movie.

I give this a 10. Fantastic from start to finish, Morgan Freeman was amazing. A must see movie.

An inspiring movie that develops a theme by example rather fast paced empty talk. Clint Eastwood really crafts great movies, too bad he never figured out that he is not at his best speaking to an empty chair.

Inspiring but predictable plot (duh?). Too bad they didn't explain (just a little) of rugy rules, etc...

I'm going to buy this movie, if only to watch it anytime I want! Great, inspiring performance by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon held his own with the rugby team. "Forgiveness starts here, reconciliation starts here", on his first day on…

Performances from Damon and Freeman were really good. I think they overstated the impact on SA attitudes a lot respecting the game of rugby AND the cohesion created. There were 2 errors at Robbin Island: [1] all of the tour guides…

A wonderful movie (slow moving) that depicts how one man can change a nation and affect the world. Be patient and watch the unfolding insight, faith and hope a great man had. Inspiring. Recommend it!

If you are looking to be inspired, Invictus is the movie for you. Morgan Freeman delivers a spot on performance as the great Nelson Mandela. Freeman, always the wise old sage is no exception in this role, playing a father figure to a…

A delightful film. Some complain it is not fast moving, but it is deeply moving. It portrays the first months of Mandela's presidency. Mandela's brilliance and compassion in leading a country full of hate for those of different color is…

I thought this was the most formaulaic movie I've seen. Substitute, rugby for football, and Nelson Mandela for the Gipper, no surprises. The rugby seemed very toned down from the actual.

Loved this movie, except that it was very hard to understand the accents. It is an easy way to be a bit better informed about Nelson Mandela.

Even though the subject was of great interest to me, the accents that actors Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon did were both so bad I found myself laughing through the first half of the film. Eastwood should have simply let each of these very…

I went in expecting a political analysis or an adulatory biopic. Although Invictus has elements of both, it's actually a sports movie. I was enthralled, entertained, and amused, despite my near-complete ignorance of rugby.

Invictus is a beautiful, inspiring, must-see movie! Morgan Freeman does a excellent job playing Mandela. This movie takes its time in telling you its story, but it's very compelling, suspenseful and will touch your heart!

A movie that is more about the message than anything else, a message truly worth taking note of.

Over-all, good movie. Morgan Freeman's and Matt Damon's obviously difficult time with the accents and a couple of other little slips didn't detract too much from a well-crafted plot and story line. I enjoyed this movie :)
