An incredible true-life story -- they were on TV not long ago. The performances are very powerful, especially Christian Bale. You would never know he wasn't a Massachusetts native. It's not just a boxing movie, it's about a family in crisis, and how they pull themselves together. The DVD is coming out soon -- buy it!
Excellent action movie, with little Easter eggs for us comic book geeks. Won't give anything away, but stay after the credits and you'll get a surprise. Loved the villain--he's so badass!
A beautiful movie for (almost) all ages! I wouldn't take very young kids to see it, as parts are quite scary, but anyone who can handle the darker fairy tales will love it. Very faithful to the book and accessible to those who haven't read it. I hope it makes you pick up Gaiman's work, because you'll find it's worth it.
