A troop-rallying campaign infomercial as imagined by Michael Bay: hero-worshipping, crescendo-edited at a dizzying pace, thunderously repetitive and its own worst enemy as a two-hour, talking-points briefing.
Once you realize the film is just going to be a string of encomiums against a backdrop of frantically edited archival material in which few shots are allowed to stay onscreen longer than three seconds, it's clear that no meaningful analysis of the woman's career or political agenda will be forthcoming.

I find it funny that people who clearly have only (maybe) seen the trailer are posting reviews. This movie was wonderful- the audience connected, all cheering and clapping in sync. Us like-minded true patriots could see that in this film Sarah Palin was displaying her ability to conquer cronie-capitalism thugs, even those in her own party. The movie showed and explained a lot of things the media has of course taken out of context over the last three years, and why she's a step above the current candidates. Sarah doesn't back down, even when the vile left stoops to the level of calling for her death while slinging unjustified, baseless insults such as "sl**" or a "c***". She is not afraid, and we shouldn't be, either.
Report
Excellent film! Audience response was tremendous. It's astonishing how many people who've never seen the film are warning against going to see it. Truth is, it was a story about a person ravaged by an unrelenting campaign to destroy her. The film demonstrates its title's truth because it's not really about winning or losing elections, but the willingness to stand, and never surrender to those who wish to defeat you. Sarah Palin IS The Undefeated. It's understandable that leftists hate the movie: They know it's powerful just by the descriptions they've read from others. The movie lives up to lefties' worst fears by simply telling the truth about Sarah Palin. One can quibble about this or that, but altogether, it's a well done picture with excellent musical score where appropriate, and it's a powerful presentation and re-introduction of Sarah Palin as the media has never let you see her since John McCain chose her as his running mate. My more thorough review is here:

Even as it makes the facile Palin-for-president case, fence-sitters will find themselves non-plussed and existing Palin haters won't budge.
Slickly produced and blatantly manipulative, Bannon's hagiographic tribute is a celebratory cavalcade of career highlights and glowing testimonials that doubtless will please Palin's devoted followers, appall her fiercest critics -- and, perhaps, occasionally surprise the undecided.
A slick one hour and 50 minute version of those political convention hagiographies ("A Man From Hope"), so it's not exactly an objective take on its subject, former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The Undefeated says less about Sarah Palin than about the political and cultural environment that made her big screen beatification possible.
Viewers are left to wonder if it's all actually some sort of vehicle for subliminal messaging.
Nothing anyone can say will change a diehard Liberal's (read socialist) mind. But for those with an open mind who see this documentary, they will see an honest portrayal of a person who is ethical, sincere, hard-working, and savvy. This movie documents Palin's monumental achievements as governor. She managed to achieve in 9 months what the previous administrations hadn't been able to do for 30 years! In doing so, she took on the good ole boy Republican network and the big oil execs without blinking an eye. The reason Liberals hate her so much is that she is true blue, and they can't stand it. She unapologetically loves her country and tirelessly works for the betterment of its citizens. This movie needed to be made a long time ago to at least begin to balance the scales and tell the truth against the media slaughter Palin has withstood.
Report
Being one who doesn't follow the antics of partisan politics, I found this movie completely bad. It offers no fresh ideas or paints a different picture of Sarah Palin that she hasn't already conveyed to the American public prior to this film's release. The film basically becomes a two hour political ad with no substance, making it an overall horrible documentary. The only positive is that conservatives who are fans of Sarah Palin will more than likely enjoy it as a tale of a political hero. Otherwise, your money is better spent on the last HP movie.
Report
Very disappointing, although my expectations were very low. Will give it a 1 out of 10, just for peaking my curiosity. The people giving it a 10 out of 10 here are laughable -- how many kids/grandkids are in her family? I guess the six "10" votes are understandable then.
