Hands of Stone movie

I haven't, but the trailers look awesome. I'm going to make an effort to see it soon.

 

Read a review today that it was kinda ho hum and mediocre. Gonna see it anyway. It said Deniro does his best work in yrs and the lead does a good job too but the story is kinda paint by numbers and goes off into too many distracting tangents.

 

I try to avoid reading reviews anymore. For one thing most of them end up being contrary to how I ultimately feel about the film and for another, I don't like to be bias going in.

 

That's exactly what I read. But, like you, I will watch it as well lol. Looking forward to it actually.

 

The trailers around my way now are weird. They are making it out to be a Robert DeNiro fighting the mob movie for some reason.

 

I'm of the same mind. I will wait for the official Duran autobiography 'I am Duran' rather than a half hearted, ill-informed Hollywood spin on of the greatest fist fighters of all-time.

 

Might be better off going and re-reading the articles in World Boxing, International Boxing, The Ring, and Boxing Illustrated about Duran in his prime years,,,,especially the ones with him glaring at photos of Arguello and /or Leonard.

 

I'm no fan of what I'm seeing ... DeNiro as Arcel is a joke. We'll see ...

 

The book was fantastic. It's kinda fitting with deniro as he and pesci spent time with duran in NYC during the filming of raging bull

My brother has this idea in his head from the trailer that they will reverse the Leonard fights to make him end a winner. I said no way

 

Supposedly Deniro is the best part of the film. Two reviews i read said the movie should have been all Deniro.

 

The way the media has covered this, you'd think this movie was about Arcel and Ray Leonard.

I just want to see Buchanan get punched in the nuts.

 

It is all DeNiro ... his name got it made .. this is fast to movies on demand and then Netfliks ...
