Goal III: Taking on the World (2009)

As Good As It Gets

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Horrible, it has nothing to do with the previous films. What happened to the story of Santiago and Roz? In the second, she was pregnant and did not say anything to him and at the end. And in this movie their history becomes others. i was really waiting for the moment that Santi realises that he has a child. but it didn't happened. one of the best parts of these movies was the relationship between them. and in this one, none of the romantics parts added anything to the movie. Regarding the special effects, this time they were worst than the other 2 movies. And the other histories... I didn't understood nothing about the Gothic movie at the beginning and the guys with the van. all seemed disconnected or nothing to do with each other. I am totally disappointed. i don't recommend it to anyone, boring ...

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.

why would they say "to be continued" at the end of Goal 2 if they weren't going to continue it? This movie is absolutely terrible, if they were going to change things so much they should have just made a spin-off movie, which in reality they did. However, this had an introduction of plenty of new characters whose story lines were boring at best. Santiago Munez is barely even in the movie, and he's the series title character. I absolutely loved the first two and I could not wait for this one. What a a complete and utter disappointment! I wish I had never sought this film out to watch and I just left it at the cliffhanger that was Goal II's ending...

Avoid at all costs. The only connection to the previous stories are Santi being in this one for about... uhm, 5 minutes! Who exactly thought this would be a good idea??? Didn't Kuno Becker object to his character (Santi) being sidelined? The producers have tried to pull a fast one. He's featured on the cover but he's just a cameo appearance as the main crux of the story centres on 2 new characters that are supposed to be Real Madrid teammates of his, yet we've never encountered them before. Where's Roz? And Gavin Harris? And one of the main things that peeves me the *beep* off was the atrocious match footage featuring the worst digital effects since Ray Harryhausen's monster flicks of the 1950s. Couldn't they even find a proper soccer pitch and try using some actual extras for crowd scenes? Instead they have to uses real games and digitally insert the "alleged" actors into the footage. I've seen TV adverts with better quality.This is NOT a fitting end to the story of Santiago Munez.
