Okay, maybe not as outstanding as the book, but a terrific movie!

Rating: 10/10 (29 July 2003)

I was fortunate to have had a bit of time lapse between my reading the book "Seabiscuit" and seeing the movie. A lot of the comments I see are that the movie does not stand up to the book. Maybe not, but this is an outstanding movie nonetheless.
Although the movie starts slowly, it needs to do so to build the characters involved. The racing sequences were great! The acting was great! Bridges, Cooper and Maguire all put in great performances. It has been quite awhile since I heard applause in a movie theater. This one earned it and got it (twice). See it and enjoy it.
