Saw 42 this afternoon. LOVED IT! Chadwick Boseman is very convincing as Jackie Robinson and at times makes you feel the pain that Robinson must have felt from the racial discrimination abuse that he had to endure.

Harrison Ford should most definitely receive an Oscar nomination for his outstanding portrayal of Branch Rickey. Chris Meloni does such a fantastic job playing Leo 'The Lip' Durocher.

And Alan Tudyk, who plays racist Phillies Manager Ben Chapman, is so good in his role that he makes you want to jump out of your seat to punch him out!

This is a must see for any fan of the game......especially if you are an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan.



Don Cardi cool

Would love to see this.

I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

I saw a re-run of the Jackie Robinson Story on television as a kind of warm up. Man, what an awful movie that was...with Jackie playing himself no less!

Can't wait to see 42.

Not as bad as William Bendix as Babe Ruth. That may have been the worst sports movie ever made.

Don't forget John Goodman as the Babe.

I believe the best person who could play Ruth would be...well Ruth himself. Pride of the Yankees is really great

Agree that one was really awful, PB but there are some terrible sports movies out there. I'd have to put Rudy near the top, or the bottom, as it were.

What's amazing is that "Rudy" has quite the cult following. Look for a 300 pound Jon Favreau as Rudy's pal. Conversely, Vince Vaughn was skinny in that film. Times change. I think Sean Astin is a porker today as well.

The story behind that casting was that allegedly Hollywood couldn't find a black actor to convincingly play him, thus they called in the real deal.

I mean its like when they made the first Ali biopic back in the 70s, who else but Ali could play Ali?

I saw 42 last weekend - fantastic. Going to take my father in law, who was a Dodger fan, to see it next weekend.

I saw it as well I didn't like it. They embellished a lot of things in the movie

Several reviews cited Chadwick Boseman as an upcoming talent worth looking out for.

If this rumor is true, Marvel wants him for Black Panther which will mean (I'm assuming) appearing in the AVENGERS sequels, but also his own spin-off franchise.
