the fighter has a lot of fight

Rating: 8/10 (16 January 2011)

this was a surprisingly good movie. i had hopes just not high because i heard that it had a lot of mistakes. i thought it had some but not as much as they said there was. Christian bale was excellent. he lost a lot of weight to look more like a coke addict. mark whalberg was OK. but Christian bale looked like he cared more about this project and put more acting into it than mark did. but mark was good. Amy Adams so beautiful in this. she came from ms. saint from doubt to ms. tough girl in this and pulled it off very well. i thought the plot was good because it was a true story so you were more interested in it than you would be if it wasn't a true story. i couldn't believe though how marks character family was so mean to him and only cared about his health because he made money for them. they cared more for Christian bales character. and he doesn't box. he did but then stopped and trained his brother who his mark whalbergs character. and the family says there sorry but who cares. somehow in marks characters good heart he forgives them. i wouldn't. i would try but i couldn't. and if i did i couldn't trust them. anyway it was a good movie and i say, see it.
