So I saw 42 last night...

Very sportsy. It's pretty much Air Bud except with a Black guy instead of a dog. My favorite part was when he was being abused by the Phillies coach. Legendary sh!t right there.

I give the movie a big: MEH rating.

I thought is was pretty good...well focused, and defined. Robinson was so well accomplished all around in his life, that they couldn't possibly focus on capturing his entire outside of baseball. Like 'Lincoln' they stuck to one spefic issue and developed it into its own story....that was one thing I really liked about it...

*SPOILER*


Epic scene though is when he was up at bat against the Phil's, and being heckled, and then after getting out, he proceeded to run into the tunnel away from everyone, and unleashed his anger...that was Oscar worthy.

There was nothing Oscar worthy about that flick.

Nonsense

You should have known that movie was going to be crap. How many great sports movies are there? 10?

The preview made it look like it was going to be intense and raw. The ONLY good part was when he was playing the Phillies. That's the ONLY good part. The rest was schmaltzy sports movie bullsh!t.

I might go back and see it again off the strength of those scenes alone. If someone has a Youtube clip of that I need to see it to save the $12...

Looks like you covered just about everything I thought about the movie and what I was hoping it would be, so I'll just hit you with a dap and be on my way.

Was a decent film and that's it. Trailer led me astray.

 

[dallastexas]

Thinking about going to see it later with my dad and brother...I'd feel bad if I didn't support and went to see Scary Movie 5 instead

What awful options.

42 was awful. They even played the whole walking out to glory horns when Jackie exposed his d!ck to his white teammates. It was literally the same music they played when he first hit the field. Such a goofy flick. I hope they never make another movie like this. All race relation films should be like Django.

 

[Schmoove]

I thought it was pretty good for what it was.

nikkas can't accept things as they are. What was it supposed to be? Field of dreams meets Passenger 57?

 

[The Nigerian]

I'm just calling it like I see it, breh. 42 stinks on ice.
