Inspiring....

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2005)

I got the chance to see this movie on opening night with a buddy of mine after hearing great reviews and Oscar buzzes on the film. I've been wanting to see this movie ever since I heard it was coming out because I think that Russell Crowe is an excellent actor and never fails in a movie and Ron Howard is a great director. After seeing the film, my reviews were on the positive side. It was truly an inspiring film that made me get chills how uplifting and courageous Jimmy J. Braddock was. The boxing scenes were really cool and the last fight with Max Baer was an excellent conclusion to the movie. The cast were great. Russell Crowe, Paul Giamatti, and Renee Zelwegger all did wonderful especially Paul Giamatti. He was terrific. Overall, a really good boxing movie that is very heart warming and truly inspiring. I highly recommend it.
