One of the best biographical sports movie I have ever seen!

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2013)

This is one of the best biographical sports movie I have ever seen. And has just about all right elements and balance to make one of the greatest sports legend come alive. And after watching this movie I just wanted to research and know more about the guy. Jackie Robinson is portrayed in this movie as this charismatic, tough(physically and emotionally), talented and respectable person. Who had flare and knew how to stand up for himself in a rightful and courageous manner, with morals I could agree with. A person just about anyone can look up to as a role model. And it shows the obstacles and challenges he had to overcome and thus being a part of breaking the color line. And this movie is inspirational, it had my attention because of the heart and soul elements of it all. Which lead me to care and attach myself to some of these historical figures. The actor that played Jackie Robinson was great at bringing out the charisma/presence and the pain Jackie was going through because of prejudice issues during that time. But Harrison Ford was great as well as Branch Rickey, he played one of the top supporting actors with this role. I am kinda bummed out that I didn't first see this movie in theater. In my opinion it's better than "Remember the Titans" which is another great movie that touches upon racism. By the end I wanted to applaud.
8.4/10
