Not Good, Not Bad... Definitely Not Good

Rating: 6/10 (4 April 2001)

If you enjoy movies where you can guess exactly what is going to happen next, then this one is for you. There are no surprises, it follows a formula which Hollywood has successfully used over and over again.

Having said that, I assure you it isn't a horrible movie. In fact, at times it is entertaining. It just isn't a movie we can expect to be remembered, and it doesn't deserve to be remembered. When you don't want to think and you want reassurance that the world is a perfect place after all, then rent this movie. If you're looking for something more complex and centered (even if just a little bit) in reality, then this picture is not for you.
A final note: Denzel Washington has confirmed that he can play that character. He has confirmed it several times... recently, in fact. Now it is time for him to convince us he can pull off other roles. Not to take anything away from him. Although the movie was hardly worthy of praise, his performance in "The Hurricane" was. I would just like to see him challenge himself with a role new to him and his audience.
Anyway, "Remember the Titans" is a simple person's movie, I gave it 6 out of 10.
