how do you rate THE FIGHTER movie ?

I loved it

Really liked how they used the actualy HBO camera's to film the fight scenes.



Excellent movie, that hopefully inspires more studios to finance boxing films about the past greats.

 

I thought it was a great movie maybe the best boxing movie ive seen and in now in my top 10 favorite movies.

 

I seen it yesterday, was pretty good but no Rocky.

 

It was an enjoyable movie but it wasnt anything great. Could watch it again but wouldnt go out of my way

 

Canny good movie - v.realistic fights.

I LOVED it when they used Old George in teh commentary team. :thumbsup

 

loved it went to see it twice christian bale is my favourite actor and he was brilliant!

 

yeah christian bale is awesome some of the lengths he goes through for his roles..... i think you would like the prestige if you seen that burt its about victorian magicians sounds a bit crap but its actually a good film.

 

Can't wait to see this movie - all time favourite boxing related movie so far is On The Waterfront - i suppose it would REALLY have to be going some to better that though

 

It was an excellent movie, my wife and I really enjoyed it.

They did include a little Hollywood, like when he was outweighed by 20 pounds, and when he was knocked down in the so called World title (WBU) bout, But that's Hollywood.

I wore my New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame jacket to the movie, so a lot of people questioned me after the movie about how much was real and how much was not, so I told them. I thought for the most part, it was pretty close to what actually happened. I can see why Christian Bale is up for an Academy Award.

I also been in Mickey Ward's company several times, as he has come to many functions that I ran or MC'ed. He was also at one of the Arturo Gatti's Memorial services, along with guys like Mickey Rourke.

 

Mark Wahlberg future HOFer?

 

Useta see Wahlberg 'n Bale on the ring apron at Wild Card every day, watching the sparring for hours.

 

IMO, Christian Bale saved this movie. It had a good story with Dick Eukland and he and Mickey's mother and the all those sisters he had. It was all believable on the surface. I got annoyed at the excessive montage scenes with old rock playing like Foghat and groups like that. Too much of that killed the emotion of the movie. And some may not wanna hear this but I get tired of Hollywood almost exclusively doing boxing movies about white fighters. I'd like to see a movie about Archie Moore or Charlie Burley or Henry Armstrong. So many black fighters out there with incredible stories that get no love. Can't believe there isn't a movie about JAck Johnson either.
