The Fighter

Just watched this and really enjoyed it, a great performance by Wahlberg and Bale. Never knew much about the personal life of Mickey Ward but now I'm definitely going to read his autobiography. Anyone else seen this move? What did you think?

 

Haven't seen it yet, but it's been getting great reviews almost everywhere.

 

Saw it today, enjoyed it

Bale steals it

I know some people have an issue with the realism, but if you dis-engage your brain for 2 hours its all good

Saw a video earlier that compares the real life exploits with the film, quite interesting really

 

Wouldn't mind seeing that! Further info would be appreciated :good

I liked it. Would watch it again.

 

Thank you...again :good

 

I did find myself enjoying the music in the film too, anyone know the tune at the beginning as they walk through Lowell?

 

i watched it on friday & thought it was a decent little watch, it inspired me to watch the shea neary fight on youtube as id never seen it before.

the film makers got the scenes spot on & i felt they really done that fight justice...

 

Yeah that was one fight where the film makers didnt need to sex it up for the screen (Cinderella Man anyone?), although they added in the Ward knockdown unecessarily
