May 20, 2008McG knocked this one out the park. Well written storyline, documented the history well. I enjoyed the film work done in Huntington around the University. The action scenes put you on the field with the players. I loved all of the slo-mo camera work. This was a story that needed t...( read more)

May 14, 2008An insipring, uplifting, riveting and powerful film. It's thrilling and pulse pounding. A blisteringly exciting, stunning and deeply moving drama. A wonderful and excellent movie that stands with classics like Remember the Titians and Brians Song. Matthew McConaughey and Matthew ...( read more)

October 27, 2009Okay, clearly I'm impartial, but all that aside, McConaughey actually excels in this role and the film captures with excellence the heart of the program and the fall-out from such a disaster, that can only lead the viewer to appreciate the triumph that exists in the midst of such...( read more)

This was undeniably a horrific event for the victims' families friends, colleagues as well as for the entire community. But the movie seems to almost exploit this tragedy so it can make audiences weep... full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
A better film would have acknowledged the limits of sport and discovered that when you're in mourning all you can do is distract yourself, either by hard work (on the part of the surviving teammates) ... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
May be noted as the one that flipped McConaughey from underachieving movie idol to terrific character actor. full review

"Grief is messy," says McShane's anguished dad. We Are Marshall's disingenuously tidy portrait of it, alas, is not. full review

August 26, 2007No esporte não há razão se não forem vitoriosos, pois a essência de um jogo todos sabemos que é vencer... Mas muitas vezes a melhor forma é participar, vestir a camisa e honrar a cada dia de jogo pelos antepassados e história que um dia alguém escreveu. Nunca saberemos exatamente os sentimentos que cercavam o passado, mas somos capazes de ajudar a mudar o presente construindo um futuro melhor. Nunca podemos desistir em hipótese alguma. Mesmo em diversas dificuldades e até mesmo quando não há forças em nenhum lugar, mas quando menos esperar surgirá um poder sem explicação demonstrando a realidade que devemos mudar. Não podemos nos deixar levar pela tristeza e criando arrependimentos se temos a capacidade de olhar para o horizonte com forças para caminhar. Filme lindo com uma homenagem maravilhosa a todos que presenciaram a tragédia que matou praticamente matou a equipe inteira e levou a esperança de uma cidade. Somos Marshall. Pela identificação com minha vida é impossível não avaliar como um filme imperdível. Matthew McConaughey demonstra ser mais uma vez um ator excelente. Sucesso demonstrado também por Matthew Fox e Anthony Mackie.
