Review of United

United (I) (2011)
3/10
could have been great, but ended up being dull

Warning: Spoilers
this is a typical bbc production, the story of what happened in munich 1958, is such an emotional and tragic one, but what the survivors did after that and the way they came back is beyond astounding. this is the story that should have been told the amazing triumph from devastating tragedy. but what we got was a film badly written and even worse direction, the camera lingering on nothing, slowly panning across empty space, the performers were all good but wasted, what should have been tear wrenching emotion was made flat. they did not tell the full story and also got quite a few very important bits wrong, busby was in a coma for a very long time, yet here we see him talking and listening to matches, this was just sloppy. a total wasted opportunity
