Watch Goal III: Taking on the World For Free

Excellent adaptation.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS HOW BAD THIS MOVIE WAS. I WATCHED IT YEARS AGO & IT STILL LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH. NEVER AGAIN!!

It is such a crime calling this "movie" 3rd part of, well, nice movies if u like football. Story is so "ill", characters not so accurate, movie follows some World Cup with bad implements of characters on it. Than some so unimportant characters, I mean, not to go farther, really an mess of movie. I feel so sorry for guy acting Santiago Munez that needed to show up on this part. I mean, I hope he took some good money, because everything else will be so embarrassing. Putting that nice girl in it wont help u save this awful movie. Please, if someone is reading this reviews, such as I didn't, do not watch it at all. Imagine there are only 2 parts of movie called "Goal". Thx

Yes, the movie was pretty disappointing after seeing the first two, but I almost have to wonder if they had a new director for the third movie. If you watch the end of Goal 2, you can see that Rose is pregnant, and when I saw that June had a kid (and looked relatively similar), I feel as though they changed some things up. This is how I viewed the movie:1. Liam Adams is supposed to be Gavin Harris -The reason I say this is because at the end of Goal 2, Santiago asked for Gavin to get the start over himself, to give himself a shot at getting onto the world cup team. As you may recall, Gavin performed poorly at the start, but turned it on near the end, making his spot on the team "questionable". Liam is portrayed as an "older" footballer with a questionable future ahead of him. In Goal 2, there was a scene where Gavin is in the bathtub and Santiago walks in on him. He has cream on his face, because he was trying to get rid of his wrinkles (getting older). He mentioned that his contract was up at the end of the season, which Liam's was as well. When Liam found out that he (and Charlie) made the England squad, they were ecstatic, as would Gavin have been. Another clue to this is that they said that Liam was heading back to Newcastle where he (and Santiago) had been teammates before (sound familiar). The last connection is the drinking and partying personality. Both Liam and Gavin loved to drink and get the ladies. They mentioned at one point in Goal 3 that the reason Liam was so iffy was because of his lifestyle, similar to what he was told at Real Madrid in Goal 2. 2. Liam's love story is actually supposed to be Santiago's -As stated before, if you look closely enough at Rose at the end of Goal 2 (when Santiago calls her), you can tell that she is pregnant. I think that is part of the reason why she is so hesitant to get back together with Santiago. Also, I remember Rose telling Santiago that she had "daddy" issues in the past with her father being in a band that had their fifteen minutes of fame. In Goal 3, June says that the reason she was so protective of her child was because either (1) she wanted her daughter's father to be present all the time, or (2) for him to never be there. This to me sounds very familiar to the Rose we all loved in the first two Goal movies.)--The only thing going against this theory is that when Santiago is talking to Charlie's fiancé in the press box, he mentions that loved once but messed it up.Overall, the movie was pretty poor, and it seemed as though there was in fact budget cuts or something that caused this movie to be sub par to the first two Goal movies. I personally think that there was a director or writer change that didn't do his homework (study the first two movies) before filming this, and just took it in an awkwardly different direction. The movie seemed to go in every direction, but as mentioned in some previous posts, at least there was the Charlie/Sophia love story that made some sense (the fact that no earlier plot made it confusing to understand). Hopefully this clears some questions up about the movie, and feel free to reply and add other similarities that I forgot to mention.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. If you think that you will find out what happened to Santiago or Gavin Harris etc, you won't. It had no continuation from the first two movies which were about Santiago. In this one he hovers around in the background for the most part looking lost. Did they run out of money? What is with the "movie scene" in the beginning? Who are these other random characters that this is about? The scenes where they are supposed to be at the World Cup are so painfully bad, bad acting, bad editing. It ruins the whole series of Goal movies. The first two movies were excellent, and after waiting for a meaningful conclusion, all I can say is Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish.
