Some movies keep their big reveals for the end of the movie. You do have a main character with psychological issues here and they are not hiding it. Fighting demons (not literally, although sometimes it may seem so on screen) is one thing, translating that drama onto screen another. It really is tough, especially when you consider the struggle the main character has to go through.And the fact the viewer has to stay with him. It's not easy to like him all the time, but you understand where he is coming from. The neighborhood, the friends, the family, all that background gets covered. The movie does a really good job and the fight scenes are gritty and tough enough. It really is a movie that has quality and cares about its very broken protagonist ... do you care too?

Good to see Afonso doing what he does best. It seemed as if he lost his touch after the whole "Solace" fiasco.This is a solid 8.4 to be exact. It's an interesting story, an interesting protagonist and captivating directing. There's a whole "tyler durdeen" thing going on that if you compare to fincher's original, well, there's no comparison. But it by itself works really well. The whole disturbed father figure works well - I know it's a true story, so I guess what I mean is that the *bold horrible fact */bold is well portrayed in the movie.Cudos to the inconspicuous netshoes product placement. Don't worry. Lesser minds won't even know it happened. TNT, almost didn't see you at all.

I like Jose a lot, well I did but if I didn't know who he was and watched this movie I would think he is a bit of a boring, shallow and unlike-able guy. The movie doesn't develop ANY character well, so you just don't care about them, Jose especially seems confused and he doesn't like this one guy who keeps reappearing throughout in his mind, like he is some massive bully who has really impacted his life so much, how? Why? Cause he invited him to work the day his father gets sacked? I just really didn't get it and only even watched till the end because I'm such a martial arts fanatic (oh and the martial arts isn't even that good so if you are expecting to be wowed ... you won't be)

Stronger than the World: The Story of Jose Aldo is a film that surprising me, Brazilian cinema lately this weak, we have at most three good films a year, and it left me with no expectations for the film that tells the story of one of the major UFC fighters Jose Aldo, the cast is good, José Loreto this well, Cleo Pires, Jackson Antunes, Claudia Ohana, Milhem Cortaz, Rafinha Bastos, Robson Nunes, etc., no actor commits the film, everyone is competent in their role, the direction is Afonso Poyart that made 2 Rabbits is very good, the soundtrack is good, the style that Poyart film is interesting, even the film with moments that I found unnecessary, for example the follies of Aldo, I I thought exaggerated, more Stronger than the World: the Story of Jose Aldo is very good, with great moments and proof that the Poyart has very what grow in the cinema. Note 8.0
