OT: Moneyball

It's a terrible movie, IMO. As far as baseball movies go, "A League of Their Own" is ahead of them (and "A League" is a good movie, just not a good baseball movie).

There is one good scene in the movie, which is when Brad Pitt is in the warroom with his lead scouts, and tells them off. The rest of the movie is Brad Pitt sitting in a workout room doing pullups, not watching his team, and driving a truck in a vacant lot thinking to himself.

Two and a half hours, and 30 dollars wasted.

Average movie about an over romanticized A's team.

If you spend 30 bucks to go see any movie. You're a fool.

I spent 5.25 on the ticket.. got a dollar burger beforehand also.

I don't remember exactly, but I would say those scenes totaled less than 5 minutes of actual screen time. Way to be over-dramatic, though.

I thought the movie was good, but Jonah Hill getting a best supporting actor nod is a stretch, though.

Way-too-late review of “Moneyball”–the movie, not the book, because I already read the book | World Series Dreaming

Moneyball was a very good movie

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

Yeah.. Anyone who can only see what happening on the screen and not understand the message that its portraying to everyone in normal life is pretty dense.
