Encouraging Movie
I really liked this movie because, it showed how the players went into the poor neighborhood and taught the poor children of Africa how to play rugby. After people seeing the rugby team help the poor, and become connected with one another. That was the beginning of unity in Africa no matter whether they were white or African.

Great, inspiring movie with amazing performances
Its as if it was written somewhere that Freeman would play Mandela, because his performance is very right-on. It's unlike most movies I've seen...it's familiar, and underdog tale, but also a very original biopic that should be seen by the mature, who can understand Mandela's actions: he knew the Rugby World Cup would bring all races together, even though it seems there was a large seperation.

Forgive your enemies & they'll forgive you.
Nelson Mandela forgived the whites even when they tore his family apart by jailing him for almost 30 years. I never thought rugby which is only a sport can bring a nation together. Nelson Mandela believed the Springboks can win it eventhough most of the blacks considered the Springboks as failures. In the end, his trust settles the conflict between the whites & the blacks when the Springboks won the final round against New Zealand, whose team always win including a 147-point match defeated Japan. maybe leaders of other countries as well as the people should take note of this. With kindness & forgiveness, the past will be defeated & stay silent for good. Though don't forget about the past completely as what I'm reviewing is also in the past.

Strong language, unnecessary.
Suggested MPAA Rating:
PG-13 for some strong language. At least 2 f**ks, and other strong language such as p*s*y, sh**, b***h, g*dd*mn

Suprisingly plesent
I'm starting to really like dramas. My mom and dad and me were trying to find a movie to watch and we came across "Invictus". I,being my usual self, judged this movie by its cover and thought it was going to be a piece of crap. After the first ten minutes I was all ears. There was a little bit of violence, a little bit of sexual stuff, some language and thats it. I really recomend this movie.

True story with inspiring themes
This movie had great acting by Morgan Freeman as Mandela, and such wonderful themes of forgiveness and love and acceptance. The rugby is fairly exciting to watch, even if you are not a big sports fan (like me) and do not understand in the least how it works, and the scene where the rugby players teach the African children to play is heartwarming. Overall a good movie for tweens and up; the only concern is some unnecessary bad language (but nothing too inappropriate) and PG-level kissing, etc.

Uplifting true tale will inspire and entertain a wide variety of viewers
Invictus tells the inspiring true story of anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela who brought his nation together through his favorite sport: rugby. He knew it was a long shot, but he said to the public what was on his mind, and eventually inspired his nation to do the right thing: come together as one. Now moviegoers can be inspired as well, thanks to incredibly reliable performances from Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon (who plays the leader of the South African rugby team). While Invitus has its fair share of problems (slow pacing, overlong runtime) but overall, it's an excellent potrayal of friendship, trust, and togetherness. I'd also recommend it more than The Blind Side, a comparable title. All in all, Invitus is worthy of your time, and age-appropriate for teens too. If your looking for an above decent family movie (be aware of a lone f-word), go for it. B

Really cool for a drama
'Invictus' is a really cool movie. It's a drama with a bit of comedy and sporty action. The characters all are good role-models, overcoming their weaknesses and problems for the better of South Africa. I have no problem with the affection displayed between Francois and his wife, or the 'voilence' in the rugby. The swearing, however, though it is not a massive issue, is not appropriate for younger viewrs.
Overall, a good movie, well-acted and funny as well as serious.
