Negative Positive
Title: Fast-paced fun.
Review: This is the second Disney live-action film in recent months which I expected to be mediocre but was, instead, really good (Pirates of the C was the other).Kurt Russell's Oscar-quality performance and the terrific soundtrack drive this film forward with an exciting momentum. The film only drags when the side plot involving Brooks' wife comes into play. Thankfully, the director does not linger on this element for very long - most of the screentime going to Brooks' putting his players through the furnace in order to forge a team.I highly recommend this film as an exciting, emotional, intelligent and wholesome piece of entertainment grounded in historical reality.
