Review of Moneyball (2011) by Adam P — 16 Oct 2012

Good Sports Movie. Not bad actually I was surprised by how much I really enjoyed in this movie. I know you guys probably don't believe me but to me this film was very entertaining believe it or not.

Lots of you are probably wondering why I didn't give this film 5 stars like most of your friends and you but to me this was not a piece of art it was good just not great some stuff was under used some stuff over used but mostly I thought this film was great not the best i've seen of the year 2011 but one of the better ones.

Lets start with the good stuff with this film including the acting,casting,story line,sharp ness,and attention to detail just to name a few of many. Ok lets start with the A+ acting. Ok we all know that Brad Pitt can act but Jonah Hill is well a wild card he has good cards (Megamind) and bad cards (The Sitter) this film was a good card he acted great and should have won a award for best supporting actor he was the icing on top of the cake he was great just great to bad he was just not in it enogh for his charactor to really develope but we'll get to that after the good stuff.

The casting was well done I try to think of who i'd cast in Brad Pitt's spot and I can't think of anyone better then him himself knowbody at all he was ment for that role. It was created for him really and i'm not trying to be over dramatic on this one but he seriously was mean't to play the charactor called Billy Beane he was just excellent he was.

The storyline was of to me some interest to most it would appear boring but its dramatic and interesting it really is I don't know why it just is this flm tryly is a film that is faithful to baseball it is a true story more thenmost really.

Now for the sharpness/ cleaness. This film is very clean no smudges or holes included it makes share everything is in place every word spoken is a memorible Quote. I mean everything is cleaned and ready to be dresses or watched.

The director probably reshoot every scene until it was perfect and sparkling like a star in the sky I swear he probably did work some of these actors to the grave but man did those actors work on such a good piece of art really.

But as almost always their are bugs sprinkled threw out the movie. Those bugs include the under used actor Jonah Hill, charactor development,And the ending. As I mentioned before Jonah Hill was under used in this film.

If he was in this film more it would have probably made me give this fil 5 stars thats how much Jonah Hill improved this film yes alot !!! Jonah is great he was just not used as much as he should have causing little charactor development on him making the audience at the end hinking who was Jonahs charactor really ? Does he have a family ? Is he in a relationship ? I mean he was under used probably because the director did not know how much Jonah improved the film.

Jonah and Brad have great chemistry I would have liked to see them both togetherin the film more I would have I really would have. Other then Brad Pitts charactor theres little charactor development between the rest of the charactors including Philip Seymour Hoffman 's charactor, Art Howe.

I would have liked to know more about him all I found out about his charactor by the end of the movie is that he is very grumpy all the time which is really disappointing considering how much time they had to develope charactors (the film is 2 hours and 10 minutes).

And now the final problem I found in this movie is the ending. It was rather disappointing it really was nothing speical about the ending kinda good . I liked the 12 year old girls singing voice I did but it was rather dim.

Well All an All a good but not great film that truly showd how if soebody worked really hard at something they could make it perfect as with Moneyball which was worked on hard and well making a Oscar winning film contender just not Best Picture contender.

B+.
