Warrior

"Took me 11 years to finally see this movie and now I can understand why it’s considered one of the greatest sports movies made. It’s very drama driven film that really pulls on the heart strings. Highly recommended "

"Great movie tons of action "

"Amazing movie all around. I really enjoyed the chemistry between the brothers and the dad. The performances were great. I really liked how the focus wasn’t really on the boxing. But mainly on the characters themselves. "

"why did tommy fight in the first place"

"Warrior has everything. It gets me every time."

"+ As far as drama goes, it doesn't get much better than Warrior. With strong performances and a script that focuses, not only on the underdog sports aspects, but also fascinating family dynamics, Warrior was able to engage me in more ways than one. Usually in movies such as these (even great ones like Rocky) we are riveted mainly by what happens in the ring, on the field, or on the court, but in this movie I was equally engaged (if not moreso) in the moments that focused on the characters and what they faced outside the ring away from the big fights. When I first saw this movie I liked it a lot, but years later I appreciate it more. Nick Nolte, Joel Edgerton, and Tom Hardy elevate the work from your average sports movie to a powerful family drama. This is a crowd pleaser and a heart-wrenching character study all in one. - The down-and-out trope where the main character needs money so the bank won't foreclose on the house feels too familiar. I was much more interested in the motivation of Tom Hardy's character for winning the tournament than the main character. The main character's plight isn't handled badly, and I like the scenes he has with his wife, but it also doesn't feel like a fresh angle to explore a story like this that has been told many times. Also, some of the melodramatic parts make it feel a little too heavy at times, but nothing to the point of even coming close to ruining the movie. Overall: A multilayered family drama in the form of the classic underdog story. It features powerful performances and moves along quite well for a movie that is nearly two and a half hours long. It can be excessively dramatic at times, and I'm not sure if I would have preferred the movie focused on the younger brother instead, but as it is it goes deeper than most sports movies. It's fantastic, and I actually like it a lot more after seeing it years later."

"There is no way the teacher character won. No freaking way, totally unrealistic. Tom Hardy’s character would have easily defeated his brother. Movie was good up until the end and then, knowing mma well, was extremely annoyed that they wrote a win for the lesser fighter. Tom Hardy is excellent in this btw."

"Very emotional family drama, but over all a very good movie! I really did enjoy it, kept my attention, great character development! Edge of your seat by the end."

"Very very good movie. Made me cry and had GREAT fight scenes"

"Great movie! Two fantastic actors and a great film!"
