Ressurecting the Champ

Is this movie any good?

[ßringer]

I'm dying to see it, so I'd like to know as well.

I received it today with Blockbuster Access. I'll let you know guys know.

What did ya'll think about Million Dollar Baby and Cinderella Man?

[horge]

Cinderella Man was borderline formulaic in how it treated the story,
but was still worth the time spent watching it. Sort of like ****, haha,
in how you already know what's going to happen, but you don't necessarily mind. It's ultimately a feel good movie, and can stand
repeat viewings.

Million Dollar Baby seems that same way for a good stretch, almost as if
Karate Kid-like in structure (a dig at the wonderful star's resumé, heh),
but is actually something else. Hope that's vague enough to not
constitute a spoiler. Not Eastwood's best work, no, ...here he's almost
channelling Mel Gibson's relentlessness, but definitely riveting.

its a decent flick,.....but its not so much a "boxing movie"..........you'll see.

[sterling]

its pretty gd and like someone else said its not that much of a boxin movie e.g. fighting and stuff but there are some scraps in it.
I watched in free online and i posted the link in the video section of this forum i duno if its stil up.

I finally saw it this weekend. To be honest, the focal point of the movie isn't boxing. It's basically a journalism movie, about ethics and morale. It was entertaining, no doubt, but just not a boxing film per se.

To give you an idea, there's more boxing in Annapolis.

I'd still recommend this movie though.

I'd watch it if Hartnett wasn't in it.

[The Hammer]

It's a good movie, I'd give it three out of four stars. The screenwriter obviously knew the sport of boxing fairly well.

Art Binkowski, Jake LaMotta (voice), and a couple of other pro boxers are in it.
