Highly Overrated But Still Good

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Was torn between 9 or 10 stars, but went for 10 to balance out some of the ridiculous 1 star reviews! People commenting about there not being a clearly tied up happy ending! Good, I'm sorry but life doesn't have a clear happy ending, some of me favourite films weren't written with a clear happy ending. One of which the director was forced to change to satisfy the " but did he see his friend again" crowd, which I think was to the detriment, but anyway that's another film. Football factory, delivers exactly what it is designed to, a gritty realistic portrayal of the football hooligan lifestyle and ethos. Yes there are others out there but from what I've heard others don't come as close for accuracy. I also disagree with people who have left reviews saying there is no don't do this at home message. ZEBERDEE!!! Seriously what happened to both him and Tommythroughout , give clear decisions have consequences messages. All in all an interesting film with a clever sub plot and underlying message of men needing an army to join, realistic language, with cockney and cursing being used in a natural way without feeling forced.

Very funny at the same time and sad movie! Good story, good scenes shots, great humor, good actors.I now imagine what a rivalry in England, in London! Chelsea, Milwall, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham, Arsenal ... What else to I work on Saturdays at 16 h is my favorite quote from the movie!You may be reading this as you seem funny, but I watched this movie 15 times:)) It is much better than the films on similar topics such as green street hooligans ...All in all, highly recommend this movie football fans, who love beer, action and good old English humor.Enjoy!

this is yet another example of why the films made in the UK SUCK a typical British film, full of scum bags, swearing, drugs, violence, football.. it seems this is the only thing British film makers seem to understand and it makes me sick.all characters look the same, sound the same, and swear in almost every sentence... was this written by some scum bag baghead on the dole? seems like it.the sad thing is, this does reflect what people are like in england. But i'll stick to watching American films, a country that actually understands how to make a film.

I found the DVD of this in a bargain bin and decided to pick it up as i have an interest in football and enjoy English films. I was expecting an average film but was really surprised. The characters were likable and funny (i don't mean to say beating people up makes a likable character i meant that they're good mates that value friendships, camaraderie, enjoy a laugh and a beer etc etc i guess i can relate to that), the story was well paced and enjoyable, the soundtrack was great, and the fighting scenes weren't too graphically violent or prolonged which suited me just fine. I don't know what else to say rather than that i was entertained and satisfied by this story (im a fan of movies which tell you what happens to all the characters at the end). A Little similar to trainspotting and lock stock, both of which i think are superb films. So if you like those be sure to check this out.Definitely glad i picked it up seen it a few times and is a DVD to re-watch every now and again, very nice movie.
