Logically, it makes sense. Emotionally, it falls a bit flat.

What does "i got soul, but I'm not a soldier" actually mean? Jesus, I hate The Killers.

Why is Ronaldo in there? His not in the same league as other esteemed sporting personalities in the ad.

It feels as something is missing, it has all the parts but the one important ingrediant. Why they had to include Ronaldo as well is beyond me the money grabbing £$%&*.

This ad is made completely from recycled clips. And it's a let down. It should have been soooooo much more.

This ad is no better than those video's you see on youtube where some bored nerd has made a montage of all his favourite images of keeley and then stuck some obvious song like "dirty" by Christina Aguilera over the top. Why choose a crap killers song from 4 years ago to represent nikes inspirational philosophy. Where's the tingle factor? The goosebumps? The hair standing up on the back of my neck? Come on W+K, this is Nike!!!

"What does "i got soul, but I'm not a soldier" actually mean? Jesus, I hate The Killers." - It doesn't matter what it means - they're cool ! (Yes annoying, isnt it) I think by the final shot the ad' works - but I also find it slightly aggravating.
