There’s not much to see – and so, the audience will have found themselves in the weird position of both experiencing a pounding heart and occasionally stifling a yawn. Go to Full Review

Bruce W @Maverick1926 2d This proved extremely boring and pointless. Why watch a man do something with absolutely no margin of error. If he slips he dies. Simple as that. It’s Netflix screening someone playing Russian roulette. Once he starts climbing up the ugly building it becomes very boring. You find yourself looking at the screen every now and then but you can’t be engrossed watching someone scale a ridiculously tall ugly building for 2 hours. The inane commentary from the ground did not add anything whatsoever. A huge miss. See more Joe U. @ACSolarski 4d Kind of ruined by the narrators and Free Solo is far more interesting and exciting, but it’s still an incredible accomplishment. But let’s give massive credit to Alain Robert, the French Spider-Man who has been doing this for decades already. Now he should have been a commentator for sure. Listening to the two of them discuss what they do would have been amazing. See more Rodney B @Nzrod 6d This was outstanding. It left a lasting impression with me. Alex was fearless, and he was so high and the grips he had to hold on to in some places were shiny, smooth and curved, and to make one mistake would have meant death. People saying it was easy for someone of his talent are clearly jealous envious losers. Anyone could see this was not easy. And he had no ropes to save him. Netflix needs a better commentator - she came across too superficial. As much as anything - I was so impressed by Alex and his wife - they came across as such lovely, humble, beautiful people. Anyway, watch this, at least the 2nd half. It will amaze you. See more swati s @SwazR Jan 31 Excellent stuff! Well done to the free solo climber Alex Honnold for showing that the impossible can be achievable if one sets mind to it. See more Alexander J @Sblib45 Jan 30 The narration and production of the event was terrible and ruined it for me. I would watch free solo over a hundred times before attempting to watch this again. Netflix, no more live productions See more Richard D @Kahouli1 Jan 29 Alex is clearly a beast of a climber but the climb was boring and actually easy for his level of skill. The commentators had no charisma and Alex himself is a pretty boring guy. See more Read all reviews
