I have no problem with people liking formulaic movies. I am simply tired of them and this one is formulaic. the thing that bugs me is that it was totally unneccessary. The true story totally stands up. The melodrama of the movie is IMO over the top and heavy handed. All the nonsense about the worry that Braddock would get killed. The needless changing of he facts about the injuries pror to the fight. Did you know that in fact it was Baer that went into the fight with an injury not Braddock? And the cliche melodrama in the ring just bugged the heck out of me. the fact is the fight was a bore. Very little happened because Baer was over confident and only made an effort for two rounds. Why change the facts? The excitement was in the hearts of the people glued to their radios listening to the biggest upset in the history of boxing up to that time. But Howard had to follow the formula and end the movie with an over the top portrayal of the fight. Hey, I understand changing history for the sake of a narrative but why fall into the formula when the history itself is a better story?
