This movie was amazing, the dramatization was great, it was like I got to know Nelson Mandela without meeting him. Would totally recommend this movie. Great actors, great storyline.

This movie was amazing......Morgan Freeman was amazing...his acting was outstanding.....as was Matt Damon......I liked how the storyline was to try and see it from Nelson Mandellas view.......to try and bring South Africa together.......as one....

a very well diected film, when you think about it it must of been hard to film rugby footage like that, & what an amazing man Nelson was & also great actors playing the leading roles.

Thought the casting of Morgan Freeman was brilliant and Matt Damon did a greatt job, this was an enjoyable movie, and I learnt quite a bit about tMandelaela era in SA that I have not seen before. Overall I though it was a good effort by Clint Eastwood to do a film like this of which tAmericansans would not normally venture into a story of this background.
I have seen comments as to the rugby side of this and how realistic it is but if you can see past this makes for an enjoyable watch and is good to see a very different story line.

Invictus was not what I expected!. Clint, Damon and Freeman with a good story should have been gold. Was instead just like the AB's World Cup efforts.......a let down. Think Eastwood needs to steer clear of this style. Should have been up there with Remember the Titans but fell well short.

A familiar story but told from a new angle. Morgan Freeman plays an excellent part as Nelson Mandela and captures the personality of the great man very well. Matt Damon whilst not physically a match for Pienaar makes a good job of conveying the personality and calibre of a great rugby player who finds himself centre stage in a pivotal point in South Africa's journey to unity. Well worth a viewing , even if your aren't a particular rugby fan.

Good drama with the rugby almost being secondary - and with a tale like that, the All Blacks didn't have any chance of winning did they! I think Morgan Freeman was brilliantly cast as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon got the saffa accent spot in in my opinion. Invictus should be a hit in NZ without doubt.

Invictus had a well portrayed storyline really capturing the brilliant leadership of Mandela which was justly played by Morgan Freeman! This movie is always going to be an interesting for most New Zealanders as we have all read in the media bout the infamous "Suzy" and the tainted Milk which left 75% of the All Blacks not able to function at their full potential as in the lead up games......
If you put that all aside and focus in on the story you will enjoy the movie and Morgan Freeman's performance is worth attending alone. Matt Damon plays the role of Pienaar well but some of the script where he is trying to inspire players on the field could have had a second look over and tends to be a little "Cheezy" at times....
This is a movie that most people will enjoy rugby fans or not and would I would recommend checking out!!
