Rise (2022)

This is a really incredible story about some amazing athletes . The production value and film itself was not great - it felt slow and long at some points and didn't do a great job with many of the actual basketball elements .

I loved to learn more about the family , thought the dynamic in the family was great , worth a watch with the family as it is a feel good classic Disney sports movie that will leave you feeling inspired .

Fmovies: A great and inspiring film. Hard work pays. Stick to the person that is there for you when things are hard.

Haris with one R did great.

Charles never gives up, a responsible father and a hero in that family.

American Underdog was good, but let's face it. There wasn't much faith in that movie. Rise actually shows more prayer and openness about faith in God. The family is exactly the kind you want to emulate, and the morals and values are exactly what you want your kids to learn. This is a beautiful film made with Nigerian actors and directed by a Nigerian Filmmaker. It is a great cross between independent films, and Disney's inspirational sports films. It's wholesome, enjoyable, and uplifting.

Rise fmovies. I believe Gianni's Antetokounmpo life story deserved a much better movie. Better production, better script, better everything.

But I was overwhelmed by this movie. I cried.

It's totally genuine but with a much more ''happy atmosphere'' (Disney happy ) than in reality.

I live in Greece , I know from first hand the hard truth about immigrants and the political implications due to European Union policies.

I don't want to get political , but from anyone who needs to know :

''Why the kids that are born in Greece NEVER get citizenship ?'' please google : Dublin II Regulation Law from the EU.

Ten stars for Giannis. I'm really proud of him. He lived the hardest life in Greece, he became a Super star and he never got bitter.

He's amazing person. True role model for all of us.

Such a well-made and beautiful movie to watch! The story it depicts is so heart-warming, the performances were amazing! I was a part of it too, as an extra actress!

It's a heart warming true story which is really more about a family than basketball. That said - it picks up steam as you go - but it starts off a little slowly. Nonetheless, very enjoyable - it's a good heartfelt true story!
