DVD Reviews of Cinderella Man (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: A shame to Blu-ray tecnology !
Summary: 1 Stars

This is a good film but I don't understand why put it on a blu-ray disc. The quality video is just equal of a DVD. The industry should make a recall, like cars with problems. This is not what blu-ray was made for !!!

Great movie! I love the character of the characters, especially Jim. This is what a real man looks like!

I don't make a habit of posting reviews, but this movie is one of the best portrayals of the true American Spirit! Hard work, family, faith, honor. If you haven't seen it, please do. You won't regret it.

DVD Review: Cinderella Man -- One of the best films ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Beyond Russell Crowe being one of the best actors in Hollywood, Cinderella Man speaks to the heart of everyone--especially in today's economy. Cinderella Man really shows what true grit and determination, as well as a faith in something much bigger than ourselves, can get us through the hardest of times. This movies tells the story of Jim Braddock in the early 20th century during the Great Depression, relating how he struggled to keep his family together by "working the docks" and as a boxer--becoming a hero and inspiration to many who experienced the same trials and tribulations as himself.

Description of Cinderella Man (Widescreen Edition)

Academy Award winners Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger star in this triumphant, powerfully inspiring true story. In a time when America needed a champion, an unlikely hero would arise, proving how hard a man would fight to win a second chance for his family and himself. Suddenly thrust into the national spotlight, boxer Jim Braddock would defy the odds against him and stun the world with one of the greatest comebacks in history. Driven by love for his family, he willed an impossible dream to come true.

Cinderella Man is a wholesome slice of old-fashioned Americana, offering welcomed relief from the shallowness of many summer blockbusters. In dramatizing the legendary Depression-era comeback of impoverished boxer Jim Braddock, director Ron Howard benefits from another superb collaboration with his A Beautiful Mind star Russell Crowe, whose portrayal of Braddock is simultaneously warm, noble, and tenacious without resorting to even the slightest hint of sentimental melodrama. The desperate struggle of the Depression is more keenly felt here than it was in Seabiscuit, and Howard shows its economic impact in ways that strengthen the bonds between Braddock, his supportive wife (Ren?e Zellweger) and three young children, and his loyal manager (Paul Giamatti); all are forced to make sacrifices leading up to Braddock's title bout against heavyweight champion Max Baer (Craig Bierko) in one of greatest boxing matches in the history of the sport. Boasting the finest production design, cinematography and editing that Hollywood can offer, this is a feel-good film that never begs for your affection; it's just good, classical American filmmaking, brimming with qualities of decency and fortitude that have grown all too rare in the big-studio mainstream. --Jeff Shannon
