  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    Trying to become a baseball fan and I feel like learning about one of America's most influential baseball players is a great start. Obviously did not know a lot about Jackie Robinson before watching this, but now I know a good bit. Great film!

    Wonderful film! Chadwick Boseman plays Jackie to a T. I believe this is the best Robinson film I've ever seen.

    An inspirational sports movie about an all-time great. The two main roles
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    After seeing so many clips of it on YouTube, I decided to watch this movie. Even though I'm not a big sports fan, I found myself invested in the baseball part of the story, just as much as the rest of the film. Every actor was great, but Harrison Ford and Chadwick Boseman's performances completely knocked it out of the park. They were great in their respective roles. The movie is very faithful to the real story of Jackie Robinson, which is always a plus.

    If you know the basic story of Jackie Robinson's baseball career, then you pretty much know what 42 is going to be. It rounds the bases on all the plot points you'd expect in a film like this. However, what really makes 42 stand out among the crowd of inspirational sports movies is Chadwick Boseman. He is so charismatic and sincere in his role as Robinson. This movie made me feel a variety of emotions, including anger & frustration, but what it really does is inspire. It teaches that you can stand strong in the face of adversity, and that there is good amidst all the bad one can find in this world.

    A fine tribute to one of the most important American sports figures ever. "42" delivers a powerful story about racial prejudice and explores the topic through Jackie Robinson's illustrious first season.
