3/4
Despite the predictable, clich-riddled script, the soap-opera hokum that passes for drama, Goal II somehow works. Go to Full Review Jason Anderson Globe and Mail 08/29/2008
1.5/4
Goal II clumsily telegraphs all of its moves far in advance. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard 02/09/2007

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. Go to Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com 04/03/2009
2/5
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. Go to Full Review Jim Slotek Jam! Movies 08/29/2008
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. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf eFilmCritic.com 10/04/2007
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
