Invictus: Nelson Mandela and Rugby Team Up



Writing a review for this movie is hard, because parts of it were great, but other parts weren't so much. The story was really good, the acting phenomenal. The story did a good job of balancing drama, action, suspense, and comedy to keep the viewer interested throughout most of the film. MOST, of the film. This is where the movie lags, there are too many spots where I was bored out of my mind, not just because nothing interesting was happening, but also because the dialogue felt repetitive, like the same thing was happening over and over again. The story just wasn't progressing. When the story WAS moving on, the dialogue felt fresh and natural, but at other times this just wasn't the case. I do think this was a good movie, but unless you've seen everything in theaters, or have no interest in seeing what is out, I suggest waiting for DVD.
              
Do make some effort to see this movie, because although it may not be worthy of going to the theater to see it, its a great watch, and a great commentary on a real world problem. (The racial segregation/tension in South Africa). So see it, just wait a little while.
