i just watched the movie the fighter ..it ******

[paypayvay]

why did they end the movie with ward winning the " wbu " title ? i mean , i was expecting the gatti trilogy as the defining moment in his career , not winning some bogus meaningless belt , they made it look sooooo dramatic and important

also , notice how they skipped the part where micky wards is stopped by Vince Phillips for the IBF title , and tried to convince the viewer that the wbu title shot he got was the first time he's given a chance to perform at " the world stage " and to win a world title...

this film = just another fine cliche American drivel being shoved down the viewers throat as being the most wondrous thing since sliced bread

Yup movie ****** no doubt. Amy Adams is the only good in that movie cause she is HOOT.

[ИATAS]

It was a great movie. It wasn't a documentary so you shouldn't have expected everything to be 100% accurate, it was a movie based on the life of Ward, meant to entertain.

Firstly, I bet that 'title' means a hell of a lot more to Ward than to us boxing fans.

Secondly if there was no mission to accomplish at the end you would have felt cheated as a movie fan. A boxing movie needs a title to be won. If it broke convention you would be p*ssed.

[Evil Abed]

Great movie with great performances.

The relationship between Ward and ****y is far more important than the title won at the end.

Bale deserved every award he won including the Oscar.

Wildly overrated film. The direction and acting performances are good but the story kind of ******.

[P4P_No1]

I wouldn't go as far as saying the movie ****** but I wasn't that impressed by it. I felt more let down by the ending if anything but Bale's performance was awesome, Adams & Wahlberg did a stand up job.

The boxing that was shown was a bit of a let down though, definitely thought this needed improving.

they didnt have the gatti trilogy because they were saving it for the sequel. Theyre making it already

They're saving that for 'The Fighter 2', or so i have read.

Wildly overrated film. The direction and acting performances are good but the story kind of ******.

basically, it went by pretty quick too. not a lot of character buildup or development. even the last rocky film worked so much better, both as a movie and a boxing movie.
