My Quick Thoughts: I originally saw this movie when it first came out in 2004. Watching it over 10 years later, I had the same reaction as I did the first time. Eh. I'm not really a Clint Eastwood fan and I'm not really a boxing fan, so I really wasn't the target audience. I have been known to like sports movies in the past, even though I am not really a big sports fan, but I really wasn't able to connect with this one. Maybe it's because I don't understand the thrill of boxing or maybe it's because this movie was pretty dark, not having the uplifting feel that many sports movies have. I don't know, I guess what I am saying is that I was underwhelmed.
Favorite Quote: "You're standing outside of my church comparing God to Rice Krispies?"
Overall Rating: B-
What I Was Doing That Year: I was in the zenith of my Harry Potter obsession, and this is also the year The Notebook came out so I was also falling in love with Ryan Gosling. "Say I'm bird."
Favorite Movie From That Same Year: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
