Pros: true-story, emotions it evokes, good-acting, music Cons: none that I could see
As 1979 came along, the United States wanted to put together a hockey team that would be able to compete with other countries that had dominated the Olympics for quite a while. In 1964, 1968, 1972, and 1976, the Soviet Union had taken the Gold Medal for ...
Pros: Performances; Entertainment value; Great quotes Cons: You already know the outcome
What would it feel like to win a national championship in a competitive sport against staggering odds? A few Cinderella stories exist in various sports but few can compare to the United States Hockey team that won the 1980 Winter Olympics Gold Medal. ...
Pros: Will give you lots of tingly goosebumps... Cons: Can be more hockey action than you want to see...
About three months ago, they started showing previews of the movie, Miracle. Now, I'm not a real hockey fan nor am I one usually to get caught up in the whole hoopla-thing related to sports. Still, there was some sort of emotional energy ...
Pros: Kurt & Noah, the last game is pretty intense. Cons: Tough to remember all the players, subject rarely changes.
As much as I tend to avoid watching sports, I have always had a soft spot for sports-related movies. Rookie of the Year, Angels In The Outfield, Major League and many others are among my favorites. No, I don't have a baseball fetish, those are ...
Pros: A time of national depression ends when the U.S.A wins the Gold! Cons: None at all. Bring the kids!
We were in Minnesota in the summer of 2003, when we heard the news that Herb Brooks had been killed in an auto accident just north of St. Paul. In the months before that accident he had been working as a consultant on the movie, “Miracle.” ...
Pros: Accurate depiction of the true story; outstanding photography and sound. Cons: Difficult to keep track of the players.
I always thought a movie based on the underdog 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team's victory over the unbeatable Soviets would never work. The actual events involved were so unbelievable that to try to dramatize it would probably come off as sappy. Thankfully, ...
Pros: performances, well-executed feel-good drama, exciting Cons: could have been a little more intense
At a time when movies now exploit the September 11th tragedy, it is truly uplifting when a film properly pays tribute to that defining moment in history. In "Miracle," a film based on the true story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, there's a shot of ...
In 1980, I was only four years old. I have no meaningful recollection of the Olympics that year, especially not of the hockey games. “Miracle” is based on the United States team trying to have a shot at looking decent against the Russians, who are ...
Pros: Great Kurt Russell; wonderful action sequences; inspiring story Cons: Lots of sports flick cliches
There's a terrific, albeit agonizing, sequence early in the new sports bio-pic MIRACLE that every movie should be lucky to at least have one of. Several months before the 1980 Olympic winter games, the U.S. national hockey team has a scrimmage game ...
Pros: Russell and nostalgia. Cons: No substance given to supporting roles.
In 1980, America was in a state of transition and turmoil as political events threatened world stability. The Reagan era was just starting but the nation was still trying to deal with economic issues as well as the Iran hostage crisis, and long gas ...
Pros: Kurt Russell, inspiration story Cons: political interpretation, slow motion from time to time
There comes a time when a nation faces a crossroad in its history, a time where it must choose where the country goes next. That choice, whatever it may be, will shake the nation down to its core and change that nation’s populous forever. In the United ...
Pros: great job of re-creating the true story of the "miracle on ice." Cons: probably a bit too much of build-up to the Olympic games.
This was a pretty good movie. I left work a little early to catch the late afternoon matinee of Miracle. I was really anxious to see this movie, which is rare for me, and I also saved some money by catching the matinee. For one thing, I'm from ...
Pros: The hockey scenes and Kurt Russell are great. Cons: Was anyone's attention held during the third act?
It was a dark time in American History. Oil prices were out of control, there were hostages being taken in the Middle East, our millitary's competency was being questioned, in the Oval Office was a man with good intentions and a good heart but he may ...
Pros: Inspiring and entertaining. Wonderfully acted and filmed. No crude or foul language. Cons: Maybe there could have been more hockey? Doubtful, though.
Fantastic. I've been looking forward to this movie since I saw the first previews, mainly because I'm a big fan of hockey movies (such as "Slapshot," "Mystery Alaska," and even "The Mighty Ducks," series . . .) and also because I've enjoyed just about ...
Pros: Uplifting, great action scenes, good cast Cons: Predictable, distracting wardrobe
It’s the middle of the winter blahs and Disney tactically releases ‘Miracle,’ a highly watchable, upbeat, flag-waving movie loosely based on real events during the 1980 Winter Olympics when the American Hockey team, against all odds, ends ...
