Did anyone go see "The Fighter" tonight?

i saw narnia instead

I went. I thought it was a very good movie. If you were expecting a movie based on Ward's career and trilogy with Gatti, you may be dissappointed. This movie is almost more about Dicky Eklund and his relationship with Ward.

I found it very interesting and one of the best boxing movies ever.

I didn't like it. It was mostly about his brother Dicky. I feel that Micky Ward is a more outspoken person with more character than what Mark Wahlberg portrayed. Micky talks faster and is more expressive when he talks and moves around more relaxed. I wished they would have shown a little on the Gatti vs Ward trilogy. Maybe they can make a movie on Arturo "Thunder" Gatti and call it "Thunder." And maybe the real Mickey Ward can star in it.

Proved my point.

If that's what you were expecting, you didn't read the writeups or know what the movie was about.

I do agree with you about "Thunder" though. It has to be made, because that is a story that needs telling.

I heard it's pretty blatant Oscar bait? Did you get this impression?

You mean they are trying to win awards with it?

I don't know if the movie will win awards, but Christian Bale probably will.

Yeah, that it's kind of contrived and hypersentimental.

Hmm, I don't know if I got that from the movie. It is a bit sentimental, but not overly and it doesn't feel forced. The Eklund character keeps the movie loose I thought. There is comedic relief as well with Ward's sisters etc. Just a messed up family all together.

I saw Tron instead.

Hint for everyone.

Don't watch it in 3D.

Most of it is in 2D.

And the glasses make everything darker.

It takes away from the movie.
