I was just kinda bored

Rating: 5/10 (24 May 2012)

Sometimes you hear about a movie and you say, well, that doesn't sound at all interesting, but so many people say it's great that you watch it anyways. That's what happened in the case of Moneyball, a movie that combines two things I have little interest in: sports and statistics.
Unfortunately, while my instincts aren't always right, in this case they were dead on. While there are interesting moments in the movie, like Billy Beane doing some fancy horse trading, I just never connected with this movie. Brad Pitt was rather bland and even though the script was co-written by Aaron Sorkin, I found the dialog flat. The story is interesting, but it seems to move so slowly; I think I would have been better off reading the book.
Sometimes a movie can be riveting even though its subject matter is unappealing, but this isn't one of those movies. If you love baseball and statistics then this movie may be great, but I could have done without it.
