Guess I saw a different movie than everyone else. It was not great. Way over-Hollywoodized. The true story is so amazing and dramatic, they didn't need to try to make it more dramatic. You know that scene at the end of The Natural when Roy Hobbs hits the home run into the lights and they explode and the music is playing and it's in slow motion? This movie tried to make every scene into that. It was pretty much what I expected (and feared) it would be. They did do a great job on one very emotional and true scene where Pee Wee Reese comes over to Jackie and puts his arm around him on the field in Cincinnati to show everyone in the stands "This guy is okay." Best scene in the movie, in my opinion. I really wish they'd gone into more detail about his college years, his military years, and his life after baseball. Jackie Robinson was such a complex and amazing human being. His entire life was movie-worthy. But this movie was really only about the 1947 season. If I had to sum it up I'd say this movie needed more Ken Burns and less Michael Bay.
