Eddie the Eagle [4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray + Digital HD] [4K UHD]

What a great movie! Very entertaining and funny. It’s a true story and it was well done.

Very inspiring

This movie is one of the top feel good movies of all time! It makes you laugh and cry! Taron Egerton does an amazing job in the role of Eddie. His dry whit and genuine tender spirit are amazing. Hugh Jackman is equally amazing! This is a must see movie!

Do you wanna feel good?Do you want to have a marvelous evening with a feel good movie?This movie was made this year and I mean it if you watch this film, you will feel good for at least 3 days.This guy Eddie has at least 3 reasons that he cannot go to the Olympics and win the Sky Jump race.1. He was crippled when he was young and that made him keeping from not able to be practice properely in his early age not like other athlates. He is already late and more over, he is not even made up his mind what kind of item he will choose and it was the very last minute that he made up his mind that he saw the ski track and he said it was a vision and he finally thinks that it is cool looking and he will do that for the olympic.2. UK his country does not support the ski jumping at all since they don't have budget for that.3. Eddie has no idea at all, I mean at all how to do the ski jump and it is absolutely dangerous to do so. He is still not like others, his jaws are not normal, he still is not 100% like normal.But what he is good at?He never give up, I mean he really never never never give up that is hillarious and that makes us really think and makes us so so happy.We all should really be happy about it.When we see his final competition and see him does the game playing we all will stop our heart and maybe it will never beat again!!We will fall in love with him and maybe even if you are a man you will ask him to marry him.This movie has nothing to do with tears, dark shadow or anything that is related to unhapiness.It will make you feel that you are lucky to see this film and you are alive.Grab this movie and enjoy that we are alive and the fact that we are with this fun to watch film.Although some of them are complaining that the story line is a bit loose It really doesn't seem that much since the film itself is a marvelously charactor driven one and it really is a successive one.Enjoy.

I'm generally not a fan of fanciful high-action thrillers, so when Hugh Jackman of "Wolverine" fame was billed as one of the primary characters in this film, I wasn't particularly thrilled. However, my son recommended "Eddie the Eagle" highly, so I thought I'd give it a try. I loved it so much I bought the DVD, and it has become one of my all-time favorite films; certainly in my top 20, if not the Top Ten. Most of us like movies about the disadvantaged guy who manages to come out on top, but a completely separate class should be created for this film. It has a great story line, humor, terrific acting, and more heart than any movie I've ever seen. Although loosely based on a true story, the simplicity and determination of the main character, Eddie Edwards, has been brilliantly preserved and comes through with flying colors onscreen. The producer, director, and stunt coordinator--indeed, everyone connected--have all gone to extraordinary lengths to portray accurately the actual conditions, equipment, and skiing techniques in use during the time period in the 1970s and '80s during which the film is set. The action shots are stunning, like nothing ever seen in any movie about skiing, ever. Except for one scene with Jackman, it's all real--NO CGI or computer-generated effects. Initially, stuntmen who ski well were tapped for the action shots and told they would have to use the same, identical equipment in use back then. They came, looked at the actual ski jumps they would have to ski down, and said, "Forget it. You're going to have to get professional, competitive ski jumpers." An interview with Hugh Jackman in Extra Features sums it up perfectly. Basically, he says, "You're gonna love this movie. It'll make your heart sing." He was right; it does. Be sure you buy the edition with the Extra Features to watch how they filmed the real, live, action shots. Whether you're a fan of ski jumping or not, it's totally amazing.

Based on a true story. Eddie is an exceptional inspiration!!

Egerton and Jackman are charming enough to make this feel-good biopic about lovable underdog Eddie Edwards a sweet, if a bit generic, treat. As he did in Kingsman: The Secret Service, Egerton again plays a working-class English bloke who winds up doing something extraordinary. Egerton plays down his considerable polish to appear more like the slightly goofy-looking Eddie; he inhabits the character with the earnestness and guileless discipline that you'd believe is historically accurate. And Jackman's hard-drinking Bronson is the ideal foil -- a man jaded and angry at how he long ago threw away his own Olympic promise.Director Dexter Fletcher stays true to the movie's predictable underdog plotine: there are comical-but-inspiring training montages, an ongoing suggestive joke about how ski-jumping is like sex (it's all about the release), and intimidating antagonists (in this case, Eddie's father -- who thinks he's wasting his time pursuing an impossible dream -- as well as the Scandinavians and the snobby British Olympic officials, who are offended by Eddie's belief that he deserves his place among the Olympians). While it's not quite Rocky -- the portrayal of Eddie is a bit too vanilla to qualify as well rounded -- this is a simple, sweet story about one man who defied the odds to make his dreams come true.

I absolutely loved this film. So much so I even got it from Apple too and have it on my phone. Couldn't tell you how often I've watched it now!Taron Egerton (Who was brilliant in Kingsman, an exceptional film too! Bring on the sequel!) is uncanny in his ability to mimic Eddie. I'm not gonna spoil the film in any way, as I'm sure many people these days may not know Eddie's story, but if you watch right to the end, theres footage of Eddie himself, and then you realise just how good Taron Egerton's acting is in this role.If you're not sure at all, add it to your wishlist, and wait till the price drops a little bit more. I'm sure that whatever price you feel its worth before watching, will be less than you feel its worth after watching.

I liked Taron Egerton in this - he really makes it. The story is bright and shows that the struggle is the most important thing, really, rather than success. Eddie certainly shows this. He comes across as a very innocent character who remains true to his goal, which is to appear at the Winter Olympics, which he did in 1988. As such his achievement is fantastic - even more so when you think he had to wear a caliper as a child. Egerton is such a likable figure here, and he is well supported by Hugh Jackman as his reluctant coach, and Christopher Walken who keeps appearing on a book cover and then finally appears for real. The film has a certain naivety that works very well given the subject. The ski jumps are quite tense and it is shot to get the most thrills and spills out of it, always keeping you rooting for the main character.

Now this is one little gem of a film. The kind of thing the whole family can watch together and enjoy and laugh a bit and be left with a smile on their faces and the feeling that anything is possible. And the best part of it is that it's a true story. Even if that may be hard to believe for those viewers who are too young to remember the real Eddie the Eagle.I'm sure apart from the character of Eddie and his unlikely career in ski jumping pretty much everything in the film is fiction. But the script is wonderful and the characters are likable and very well cast. Taron Egerton rather unexpectedly makes for a perfect Eddie Edwards. I mean, Eggsy from Kingsmen as... Eddie the Eagle? But here's the thing: it works a treat. That boy's one hell of an actor. The Hugh Jackman character is great. As is Mr Jackman. But then, he always is, right? Only drawback for both these two: possibly the worst hair cuts in movie history. Even for a film set in the 80s. I also liked all the supporting actors. Veteran German actress Iris Berben is just lovely as the landlady offering Eddie a place to stay, Eddie's parents are great and there are wonderful cameo appearances by the great Christopher Walken and Jim Broadbent towards the end of the film.If you haven't already seen it, go on, see it now. It's a highly entertaining film that thankfully doesn't take itself too seriously. The DVD has subtitles for those who may need them and includes nice extra features, including deleted scenes and several making of/behind the scenes featurettes with interviews with cast and crew and the real Eddie the Eagle Edwards.

Probably the most heartwarming and uplifting film of 2016, with something for all ages to enjoy. There's comedy, adventure, pathos and redemption in the true(-ish) story of how Eddie Edwards, a plucky but frankly untalented young plasterer from Gloucestershire, achieved his childhood dream of competing at the 1988 Calgary Olympics by becoming Britain's first Olympic ski-jumper since 1929.Taron Egerton is scarily believable as the naive but indomitable young Eddie, with Jo Hartley and Keith Allen excellent as Eddie's mum and dad. Hugh Jackman provides the star quality as Eddie's coach, and there's a great cameo from none other than Christopher Walken as an Olympic ski-jump guru.The script uses a fair degree of poetic licence in embroidering Eddie's story into something more popcorn-friendly, but it does succeed in creating a quirkily inspirational feelgood atmosphere. And the final scene of Eddie's triumphant homecoming brought a tear to my eye - even on a second viewing!

Wonderful film...a lot of people classed Eddie as a failure and a joke but far from it! An astounding guy and very brave to take on the challenge that he did....and didn't kill himself in the process!...Brilliantly made film and very funny in places without being patronising or making a joke of Eddie.
