Iron Men (2017) User Reviews

Now I understand...

[acbarber-45735 · 10/10 · 29 April 2017]

A film that reveals why football fans love their team so much. Beautifully shot, wonderful music, terrific story. From Hollywood movie star Ray Winstone to a 100 year old local called Mabel, to the team captain and East End boy Mark Noble, the grip that West Ham has on it's loyal fans and players is immense. And they had to say goodbye to their roots. Heart wrenching stuff.

Love this film...

I am not a West Ham fan but I love sports documentaries. Iron Men has to be up there with the best of them. Passion, emotion, history and community are all on show in equal measure. This film shows why sport matters, why football matters and why supporting a team matters... Great work.

One of the best sports films I have seen to date. Constantly going back and watching. The family put it on religiously every Christmas since it's release.

The worst thing I've ever seen

And living in Amsterdam, I've seen some things that can't be unseen!

Too much whining

[EddyGrimley · 6 June 2021]

As a non traditional football fan but a die hard fan of a team that has been breaking my heart for 50 years (the Vancouver Canucks) I get the passion that domes with the love of a team and what they represent. I have literally watched every football doco re English football that I can get my hands on. This one was less focused on the team but rather the fans and local business affected by a move out of an out dated 110 year old stadium. The amount of people in this doco that complained about shifting to a world Class facility (some supported and understood the benefits) 3 miles away was mind blowing. If I'm a star player why the bell would I want to play in a ground so old compared to an elite level complex. I get the local businesses being upset but the amount of whining for old stadium in this movie and was annoying. I get it, I'm not a fan of West Ham but football is no different to ice hockey. Without progress, teams die..... be thankful you have a beautiful new stadium and suck it up. Not worth the watch.
