Review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013) by Johnny R — 05 Apr 2014

Oh my gosh, what a magnificent movie!! It was intense, engaging, emotional, sad, and entertaining!! It will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time!! It shows how incredible of a man Nelson Mandela was and what he had to go through to become such a powerful man!! This movie is over 2 hours long but you won't even tell!! That's how engaging it was!! Idris Elba was absolutely perfect as Nelson Mandela!! He captures Mandela's spirit so well and you feel his suffering when he goes to jail !! He even nails the accent to a T!! His performance was Oscar worthy!! Naomie Harris was amazing as well as Winnie Mandela!! You feel her passion!! Her performance was also Oscar worthy!! If you are a fan of Nelson Mandela, than you will not be disappointed!! If you don't care about history, than look elsewhere!! This is one of the greatest autobiography films of all-time!! This is absolutely a must-see!!
