A Masterful Baseball film

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2001)

More Movies should imitate this excellent movie with the simplicity of an inspirational topic and the triumph of good over evil. Don't get me wrong, I love a good art cinema flick, but for my money, when Roy Hobbs homers for the last time, assuring his victory over the evil forces of the commercialized money-driven Judge, there is no better film ending. Some of the scenes can be a little hokey at times, but nostalgia is for the most part blended masterfully with the tale of Hobbs's return to the bigs, accompanied by his faithful bat, the mana of our hero's rise from the grave, Wonderboy. Watching this movie kinda makes me wish i'd appreciated my little league years a little more.....
