Such an inaccurate portrayal of how we white South African's treated the "previously disadvantaged" black community, making us look like the monsters. What BS!!! I felt angered to no end after I saw how Clint Eastwood made us "apartheid regime" whites were like the scum of the Earth, and the black community is the ones that should be sympathized with (where it turned out that they were just as bad if not worse in politics then what the white government was). My ancestors probably rolled in their graves when they saw how this movie was portrayed. If you wanna see a more accurate South Africa apartheid role try "Stander" it is much better portayed than this.

A whole bunch of “really good” but was overall a bit slow for my personal preference without the level of feel good that leaves a lasting impression. Directed by Eastwood with solid performances from Freeman and Damon, I am sure there are people out there that will absolutely love this movie. Unfortunately, for me it felt more like a historical drama opposed to a sports film which I didn’t totally expect going in. It’s good, don’t get me wrong, just not my cup of tea. Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching

A little bit hit-and-miss, though 'Invictus' still manages to produce the requirements for a solid sports drama. Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon are two actors I enjoy a lot, but by the end of this 2009 film I was a tad underwhelmed by them. Freeman as Nelson Mandela sounds great on paper, but in reality you kinda lose what makes Freeman so great - his voice, given he has to act with a South African accent. He still does a good job nevertheless, I just don't think I'll remember this particular portrayal of Mandela - unlike Idris Elba's attempt in 2013's 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom'. The merging of the two plot points - politics and rugby union - is done well, though the former is easily more interesting than the latter... and I say that as someone who loves sport and dislikes politics! It's one that is worth a watch, it just didn't give me anything to remember.

**It's much more than JUST rugby**

Though the movie doesn't give much insights into the life of the living legend(still breathing among us when I saw this movie) known as **NELSON MANDELA**, it sure tells us a lot about what the man is made of.That **we are the master of our fate, we are the capt More
