Not very good

Rating: 1/10 (22 June 2007)

The story of a middleweight boxer as he rises through ranks to earn his first shot at the middleweight crown. He falls in love with a gorgeous girl from the Bronx. The inability to express his feelings enters into the ring and eventually takes over his life. He eventually is sent into a downward spiral that costs him everything.
Robert De Niro won An Academy Award for Best Actor because he gained 50lbs for the role! But so what. Women gain that much and more for having a baby and yet where is their Academy Award?
I can not believe that the AFI put this in the top 10. It is an awful movie.
I am not a prude I loved "Pulp Fiction" "Cape Fear" "Goodfellas" and "Silence of the Lambs". This film is just overrated! Critics Just always have loved Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese.
They both have made crap and critics always find something to praise about their boring films! What I hated most about "Ragging Bull" is that is was boring and I got tired of hearing "The F Word". Another insult was the fact they try to make the protagonist a nice man when in fact he was a child rapist.
Many people have claimed this film should of won "Best Picture of the Year". There is much better films that were nominated for BEst Picture but did not win! "Ragging Bull" is not one of them.
