Watch The Class of ‘92 For Free

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It was trenchant Scottish football analyst Alan Hansen who famously said "You'll never win anything with kids" after Manchester United heavily lost their first Premier League game of the 1999 season, when manager Alex Ferguson replaced almost half his team with young players in their early 20's who'd come through the clubs own youth academy seven years before (apart from Gary Neville, who was actually Class of '93). However with Ferguson's tough-love style of management and chaperoned by United greats like Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Peter Schmeichel, talented youngsters like David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs all came of age as the side famously picked itself up and completed a celebrated treble of the championship, FA Cup and in particular the European Champions League, the last after a gap in the club's history of 31 years, when they scored twice in the last five minutes to steal victory from the jaws of defeat against a superior Bayern Munich team on the night.This documentary offers individual profiles of the players, mostly, as you'd expect, involving lots of mutual admiration, with reminiscences of their early days at the club and focusing in particular on the matches that proved crucial at the season's climax as they chased their three trophies.The three other players of the six featured, the defensive Neville brothers and midfielder Nicky Butt, for me weren't anywhere near the same class as the other three, but to be fair they all became international players too and certainly fitted well into the club set-up. They all, too, seem like decent blokes, genuinely friendly amongst each other, even latter-day multi-media superstar Beckham and there are some fascinating clips of them all getting their start in the youth team. Nice too, to see the youth team coach getting his due here. The story of the team's fantastic season and the part this group of young talent played in it is pretty well-known and apart from one or two shaggy-dog stories about initiation ceremonies and avoiding strict boss Ferguson's attempts at imposing a curfew, little new was revealed of what went on behind the scenes, I felt. What happens in the dressing room stays in the dressing room I guess. I'm not sure either the attempts to align the club's rise in fortunes with the emergence of "Madchester" music of the time with Oasis, Stone Roses and even the Blair government of the day were convincingly made, leading to some odd interviews with the Roses bassist Mani and ex-P.M. Blair himself, "getting down with the yoof" as they say. The Gallagher brothers were mad Man City fans anyway.I actually felt there was a better story in the background, if they'd made a film about the boys from 1992 who didn't make it, here regathered with the super six for a just-for-the-cameras reunion kick-about. The absence of key figures as interviewees of the likes of Ferguson and Keane was noticeable plus I've no idea what Zinedine Zidane was doing in the mix either.Nevertheless I enjoyed this red-tinged wallow in nostalgia as it was unquestionably a great team and I got to see again some great football moments like Beckham's famous half-way line goal against Wimbledon or even more so, Giggs' amazing solo effort against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final. I might have preferred a little more of that over some of the mutual backslapping waffle which over-proliferated things elsewhere, but this was almost as entertaining a ninety minutes as the team itself used to serve up back in the day.

The Class of 92 tells the story of 6 Manchester United players who all came through the academy system and went on to achieve great success, winning the treble in 99 being the highest point.The 6 players were David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers, Gary & Phil. All of them have now retired (some of them were in their final years at the time of filming) so it was time to look back on their achievements.Whether you love or hate Manchester United, you would struggle to find anyone who doesn't admire what they have done. I am an Arsenal fan so obviously watching this documentary bought back some horrible memories of Bergkamp missing his penalty in the FA Cup semi final but looking back now I have the utmost respect for what they done at the time. It also made me feel nostalgic about the old rivalry between Arsenal & Manchester United.All of the players came across well in the documentary and you could tell that they were just normal blokes living the dream. Paul Scholes & Nicky Butt were particularly interesting as during their playing careers we never really knew much about them off the pitch. David Beckham is of course a global superstar who is known for other things but he came across as a very humble guy, as did Ryan Giggs who undoubtedly achieved the most success as a player at Manchester United. The Neville brothers were full of grit and determination as well, they wasn't the most talented of the bunch but their love for the game kept them going to the highest level. Both of them are now pundits and Gary in particular is very informative when talking about the game.Overall I feel the documentary was a good insight although it perhaps came a little too soon. It may have worked better to look back once another 10 or so years had passed. I liked how we was snippets from the other youth team members but the input from Tony Blair seemed pretty irrelevant. I also feel the documentary could have been done in more detail, for those of you who are not football fans you may get a little lost when they jump through various timezones and start talking. I also think it would've been interesting if they had also talked about their careers after Manchester United (as 3 of them did move on to other clubs) and also maybe some more input from other team members such as Roy Keane etc.An interesting watch never the less. A documentary that all football and sport fans should watch and admire.

The documentary nicely focus on the half of the the class of 92 that made into the highest levels of football stardom. The scenes where the players chat with each others, particularly talking about things only insiders knew are one of the best strong points of this film. Having outsiders who in some ways have parts in the team or in the era is also a great way to enrich the information and perspective to better glance at the era of Manchester United's winnings until the 1999 treble. As a Manchester United fan myself, I really enjoy this film, reminiscing on one of the biggest success and history written by the club, especially by the great names, legends under the great Sir Alex Ferguson. However I must say that the timing of release is just a bit too soon. It's because Not until recently Ryan Giggs was still in the game, and Manchester United has just been through a lousy season with David Moyes, it's almost like saying that the bad luck will stay for long.

I grew up as an united fan. I am really proud to be one. I have never written any reviews to any movies but for this once i had to. It is not all just about the movie it is about the history of man united. Those six players bekham, scholes, neville brothers, giggs, butt and others i will never forget them. They are my idols and will always represent united. I knew how the winning the treble was like in the you tube videos but this movie showed how those young generation went through at that time and won those trophies and heart of the fans at that age. It showed how the football life was all about at that time. Ups and downs face by those players.You will get goosebumps through out the movie and every goal they score you feel like it is happening live. Great players, great manager and great fans and off course great history that's Manchester united.
