Awful

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2005)

The last 40 minutes of this movie won it the Oscar and it was also the worst part. I am going to forgive the circumstances of Maggie's so called loss. I am just going to say something that many have said before...there are rules in boxing and they definitely don't allow the behavior of the ex-prostitute. But even if I forget that...
The rest of the movie was just pure sentimental garbage. Maybe it was because I was so upset, by the way the movie staged Maggie's loss, but I just could not care about this movie any more after that.
The rest of the movie up until that moment was OK. But I must stress, it was only OK. Nothing great.
I cannot believe this movie even got nominated. I guess it says something about the pull Clint has in Hollywood. True he did the best he could with the story he had and the acting was pretty good, but there is no way this movie will be remembered as one of the all time great movies. I cannot believe Aviator did not win best picture.
