by far, the best movie of 2004 so far!!!

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2004)

When going into the theater to see this movie, I had high doubts. For one, I thought since it was a Disney movie, it would be another "believe-in-yourself" tearjerker. Also, I was turned off by the 2 1/2 hour runtime. Boy was a wrong!
I never saw myself feeling bored and even though the outcome is known, the energy was right there with me and I found myself on the edge of my seat. Disney did an amazing job portraying this amazing hockey team.

The story was evenly told and acting was superb. Kudos to Kurt Russell in his excellent portrayal of Herb Brooks. The entire cast was impeccable.
Although not a "perfect" movie, it is still a great treat to watch and it is definately a great feel-good movie. You will leave the theater feeling overjoyed. It is one of the best family movies I have seen in awhile and I feel that it will entertain many years from now. I give this movie 8/10.
