Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted July 26, 2003 I would go see it, but it has Toby McGuire in it. So this movie shall not get my $7.45 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted July 26, 2003 The reviews have been very good. Except for the local critic. Who thought it didn't live up to the book, and the story wasn't enough about the Horse itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kahran Ramsus Report post Posted July 26, 2003 I'm glad it wasn't about the horse. The characters surrounding Seabiscuit are what makes it an interesting story. The movie was great and I certainly would recommend it over sludge like Tomb Raider or Bad Boys II. My main problem was that Red Pollard was too much of a whiny bitch in the film, and that they didn't put over his friendship with George Woolf too well (Pollard seemed more jealous of him than friendly). Both Cooper & Bridges deliver Oscar worthy performances, and Gary Stevens suprisingly (at least to me) gives a better performance than McGuire. I will need more time to determine whether Seabiscuit or Reloaded is the movie of the summer, but everybody should certainly see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fazzle Report post Posted July 26, 2003 yes i know the big money maker this weekend and all the hype is on Tomb Raider II Actually, the Friday estimates have Spy Kids 3D beating Tomb Raider 2. I have no fucking clue how that happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted July 26, 2003 yes i know the big money maker this weekend and all the hype is on Tomb Raider II Actually, the Friday estimates have Spy Kids 3D beating Tomb Raider 2. I have no fucking clue how that happened. C'mon, that's easy to figure. The first Tomb Raider film did big business, but wasn't really that well liked and did very little repeat business. The sequel is going the same way of the Charlie Angel's sequel. On the other hand, the first two Spy Kids films did big business AND were well liked as quality family films. I would have released Seabiscuit closer to the fall, but it's getting good buzz and reviews and word of mouth should be decent. I might go see it next week.

Who thought it didn't live up to the book, and the story wasn't enough about the Horse itself. Love to know how the reviewer expected them to pull THAT off! What, it'd be like Dr. Doolittle or something? Show Seabiscut in the stable romancing a young Philly? Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vyce Report post Posted July 27, 2003 The only way I would see this is if at some point Tobey dons the Spider-Man costume and does all of the races with it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Insane Bump Machine Report post Posted July 27, 2003 I loved Pleasantville, so it'll be at least a rental for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the r-train Report post Posted July 27, 2003 Does it end with Seabiscuit at a Japanese dinner table, because that's what really happened, or does it conveniently ignore the good part? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where did that come from? It is unknown whatever happened to his body so who knows (officially he is buried next to his owner in some unknown plot) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
