Jumper_Dad Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Really good movie. But seemed kinda shallow to me, seems there is more story that needed to be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindoc Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Both my boys are watching it as we speak. My dad even called me today and said he just saw it and I needed to go check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Has anyone ever watched "The Jackie Robinson Story" movie starring Jackie Robinson himself? Really old movie. Highlighted in addition to his auto-biographical depiction was his terrible acting skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueTip Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 One of my sons saw it and loved it so I'm looking forward to seeing it next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarBeyondDriven Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Saw it today with my wife and 7 year old son and we loved it. My Two teenage daughters went to see it today also, but due to the un-coolness of seeing it with parents and 7 year old brothers, they opted to see it about 3 hours later than we did. The two teenage daughters also liked it. My 7year old has decided that Jackie Robinson is now his favorite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugatti Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I guess one thing throwing me off is the modern day music they keep showing with the previews. It always seems out of place with any preview and makes you think it will have some kind of odd contemporary spin on the movie, but I doubt that is the case.

nkypete Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 My wife and I saw it Friday night. My wife really liked it (but I knew she would considering she does not go to a lot of other movies). Harrison Ford was great. The actor who played Robinson was OK. I would have liked to seen the story cover more than just the couple years breaking through the color barrier. A series between the Dodgers and Reds at Crosley Field plays an important part in the movie. Was this area that racist back then? Wow. I stopped watching the main action during the Crosley Field scene and was reading the billboards in center field! Hudepohl Beer! Could not tell if they got the terrace right.
