Deserved every one of it's oscars. The story was perfect as well as the acting with one of the greatest endings of the decade. You'll never see it comming..... unless you've seen Scary Movie 4. |

Anything with Eastwood and Freeman in it has to be a masterpiece. And this is no different, especially since you add Swank into the mix. |

Good movie, but too dull at times. In the end I liked it but it dragged a bit too much especially at the end.

Million Dollar Baby |
|
Its a film that reaks of quality. It looks suitably gritty given its film-maker and theme, and there is a real pumping heart at the centre. Hilary Swank is Maggie Fitzgerald. A dreamer with ambition to burn. She meets Clint Eastwoods grizzled boxing trainer and form a struggled friendship that lasts. Morgan Freeman stands ringside throughout offering his cherished tones to the voiceover and some nice scenes with the two main characters. Truly one of the best films to come out of the 00's. |

Review - Million Dollar Baby (2004) |
|
Frankie Dunn (Clint Eastwood) was never the greatest boxing trainer. He could get a man to fight well, but never to win a championship. When he met Maggie Fitzgerald (Hilary Swank), however, all of this changed in the Best Picture winning film, "Million Dollar Baby."
This film is remarkably similar to Unforgiven in both the mood and the quality of acting (not to mention Morgan Freeman playing an important side character again, Eddie Dupris). Clint Eastwood is a great director. I won't lie. He can get somebody to do his bidding by only saying two or three words. The only problem is that this doesn't work on himself. Eastwood always seems like he spent so much time working on everybody else's acting that he forgot to work on his own. Now that I've gotten that out of my system, I can cont... |

Ma Cushna means my darling, my blood. |
|
This is probably the best acting I've seen in a sports movie. I can't say it's the greatest boxing movie yet, since I have yet to see Raging Bull but it's up there with the best. I wish the ending wasn't as sad as it was, but it's a good display of how short one's glory at the top can last. The only thing I hated was the fact they told her she'd lost her last fight to the English fighter. Last time I checked, the Brit was DQ'd not Ma Cushna. |
