DVD Reviews of The Babe
DVD Review: Awesome Movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
Good movie, actually showing the reality of a Legend, gives us a better view of who George Herman "Babe" Ruth really was and the life that he lead on and off the field.DVD Review: Ok, but definitely not that great.
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this movie alot when I was a kid. It was the only real notion I ever I had of the slugger. But now that I have gotten older, and have seen numerous pictures and newsreels on Ruth, this film misses the mark in terms of its potrayal of a fat overgrown kid. Ruth was a consumate athelete as one reviewer pointed out. Not only could hit well he could also pitch well. he was all muscle though with the exception of the 1922 season. It was the 1922 season which was his worst, not 1925. It was 1923 when Yankee stadium opened that Ruth led them to the World Series, which would have been great for the movie to depict. He was also well aware of his flaws. But was not oblivious to his fans. This is one good thing about the film, Goodman does do well in portraying him as someone who adored his fans. I think a film about the real Babe Ruth would be more appropiate in the sense of chronicling a fascinating story about his career as a player as opposed to little snipits of games. This movie to me was way too short. It should be one of those epic 3-hour type movies. Ruth completely changed the game. Which we only get a glimpse of in the hotel scene with Jumping Joe with the line "Homeruns are a rare commodity, keep them on the ground where they aint". This was important point about Ruth coming of age in the Deadball era, had the film embelished on it just a little bit more it would have been better. On the bright side if you are looking for old baseball coming to life, there are some cool scenes.DVD Review: The Babe- DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie conveying the life of baseball great, Babe Ruth is spectacular. John Goodman couldn't have played the part any better likewise, there was no better actor for the part of Babe. This is a MUST SEE for any true baseball fan, young or old!DVD Review: Okay Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie is one hour and fifty-five minutes long. At least this movie is better then The Babe Ruth Story. William Bendix played the Babe in that one. Though the film does take liberty with the truth, it does try to stay on track. The Babe Ruth Story comes nowhere near the truth. If either movie came close to the truth, I think I would like the movie even more. John Goodman did a better job at portraying Babe Ruth then William Bendix did.DVD Review: The Babe is now on DVD with a few extra goodies as well!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The wonderful John Goodman shines as Babe Ruth,I had this on VHS tape and was happy to find it available on DVD,there are also two very old shorts starring the original Babe Ruth"Slide,Babe,Slide" and "Just Pals" as bonus material(NOTE that these shorts are very old and the quality is VERY rough,hence there are jumps in the film,sound problems here and there,scratches etc,but thats part of there charm of these old newsreel shorts,there antiques lucky to be surviving at all!) as well as the original trailer for the film!!! If you like this film and have the old tape,then this is a nice affordable upgrade,the picture and sound is better than the tape!!! A+
