10 out of 10, all-time great

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2005)

Hey everybody, this past Saturday, I saw "Million Dollar Baby", a film starring Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman. I wanted to just let you all know how much I enjoyed the film, and let you know I highly recommend it, and the reasons why....I am not some big time film critic, but I do feel as though I have a good sense of what a genuienly good film is....Million Dollar Baby exceeded my expectations in so many ways, there is no doubt in my mind it is the best movie of 2004.
I'm going to start of by saying "Million Dollar Baby" is one of the best movies you could ever see. From start to finish, it has all the key elements that every great film should have.
A+ actors, who deliver top notch acting, a gripping, compelling story(which is based on true events, by the way), interesting characters, and a story filled with amazing dramatics, full of emotions, and heart.
I believe one critic said it best: " The kind of movie where you sit very quietly in the theater and are drawn deeply into lives that you care very much about. " There is much more to this movie then "it's just a boxing movie." Million Dollar Baby at it's core, is a movie dealing with guilt, responsibility for risk, and determination to do what you believe is right.
Hilary Swank is incredible. She firmly establishes herself as a top leading actress in the business for years to come in this.
Don't listen to what anyone else has to say about Million Dollar Baby. Do not let anyone tell you anything that happens, or spoil the ending for you, go see it for yourself.
It's one of the very few movies I've seen in recent memory that I would confidently recommend everyone to go see.
I give it a 10 out of 10.
