In Reply to: I only give 8 1/2 a 3 1/2 on my list of great movies, and that's when I'm bored enough to watch it! posted by Audiophilander on November 21, 2002 at 16:29:16:
***Also, it should stand the test of time unless boxing is banned, and as movies about sports and personal struggles go it's pretty solid.Well, another formulaic film about an athlete struggle. Are you a fan of these? I have to say that this is a completely American phenomenon - those silly and immature against-all-odds sports movies.
I suggest you do this test: if the film bores you into sleep, make sure to watch it again - you might be onto a masterpiece.:-)))))))))))))
