The soccer career of Santiago Muñez continues as he gets a chance to move from the English club Newcastle to the famous Galacticos team, Real Madrid, joining superstars such as Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham. His move is a step forward professionally, but it also entails personal drama as Muñez, engaged to British nurse Roz, fends off the advances of TV presenter Jordana and discovers the truth about the mother who had abandoned him.

Despite the predictable, clich-riddled script, the soap-opera hokum that passes for drama, Goal II somehow works.

Goal II clumsily telegraphs all of its moves far in advance.

I won't tell you the result, but I will say that Arsene Wenger would be wise to avoid Goal 2 in case he suffers from terminal apoplexy.

If your kids play soccer, they may appreciate this tall tale of Santi's rise from obscurity to shin-padded glory, but once you pop in the DVD, chances are you won't want to stick around.

2.5/5

Bullet time, pixellation, flashy graphics, slow-motion-sweat, all wrapped around a rather flimsy story about the kid from the barrio dealing with paparazzi, millions of fans and a salary in the millions of Euros.

B

The idea of turning a 10-minute idea into a trilogy of movies seemed imposing at first, but Goal II continues the franchise's recipe of personality over originality.

Forzada y nuevamente llena de clichés, un film que no muestra nada interesante , sigue siendo una historia completamente Básica igual a su anterior historia, Kuno no logra trascender a su personaje y lo deja estancado en una historia Forzar.
