Review of The Natural (1984) by Ashley H — 21 Mar 2009
I really enjoyed watching this movie. It seems to be the embodiment of the Hollywood cliche - a noble hero overcoming difficulty to achieve his dream...but somehow, [i]The Natural[/i], manages to pull it off in an un-glamorized way.
Take the hero - he's 35 years old! It just seems refreshing not to always have a dashing young fellow of twenty as the main character. This hero is actually believable and Robert Redford plays him handsomely.
He makes Roy Hobbs a real person, and a gentleman. I recommend [i]The Natural[/i] for any Robert Redford fan, baseball fan and anyone who just wants to see a neat, entertaining movie with a main character you can really root for.
