They made a 2 hour movie from a 90 min story.

To long and gets boring pretty fast.

Its sad how close this movie is from being great instead of good. The problem is that the last act the movie really starts to drag. I liked it up to that point and it has a good ending but it really could have been trimmed down. Still a good movie, with a good twist on the concept of baseball but could have been executed better.

ignore the slow screenplay. still have a few elements that entertain me.

@dunpealhunter thats a good roundup you have there.
I was a bit disappointed, thought it would be more about the team and the sport, but instead it's just about buying, selling and managing team members.

There are much much more moving/inspiring true-story (sport) movies then this:
"Coach Carter"(2005), "Gridiron Gang"(2006), "We Are Marshall"(2006), "Remember the Titans"(2000)
check out these!

I quite enjoyed it because it wasn't your typical sports movie and focused on the management/recruiting and trading side... and I'm not much of a sports fan either so the financial/maths elements are probably why it appealed to me more than other sports movies.

Good, but it lacks something, I don't know... I didn't like it completely. And Brad Pitt didn't give everything he is capable of, he has had better performances.

As a big baseball fan and also a fan of baseball stats, I really liked "Moneyball". Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill were really entertaining as Billy Beane and Peter Brand, two men who applied some mad math skills to build a major league team on a shoestring budget.

I think anybody who appreciates a good drama will be very satisfied watching this film. Again, as someone who likes baseball, I found it to be an entirely engrossing movie until the Athletics season ended. After that,"Moneyball" focused a bit too much on off the field affairs and things dragged toward the end.

A “sports movie” for people (like me) who hate sports movies. Outstanding screenplay and great work by Pitt/Hill. I wonder if I overrate this movie because the story is both unfamiliar and really interesting to me, but I don’t think so.

That 50 feet of crap has sure grown since then.

Honest, Sincere and Upfront

Moneyball is an honestly made, true to life sports drama which focuses on the real life story of Billy Beane, who trusted his intuitions and works tirelessly on rebuilding a broken team for the Oakland Athletics. With Brad Pitt's convincing performance and Jonah Hill's reticent presence Moneyball is unlike any other conventional sports drama. To summarise , Moneyball teaches that a winning team isn't necessarily made up of individual stars but of a combination of certain talents who together add up to runs.

How analytics changed the future of baseball is efficiently showcased through the film.
To be very honest, I watched it only for Pitt, but the screenplay isnt engaging enough, I understand this is about Billy Beane and not the team but still i expected some action in the field which i missed. Nevertheless Pitt's monumental performance is the highlight of this fairly well made slow burn sports drama.

Inspiration film, diving deep into the world of baseball and its correlated politics.

Interesting.

Probably not worth re-watching ever.

>"You get on base, we win. You don't, we lose. And I *hate* losing, Chavy. I *hate* it. I hate losing more than I even wanna win."

It's simple: If Aaron Sorkin is on the writing team, I will check the movie out. That being said, I should've watched this years ago. I don't necessarily care for baseball but this movie made me see the beauty of the stats behind the game.

“It’s hard not to be romantic about baseball.”- Billy Beane (maybe)

You always like to root for the underdog

First of all...I'm a huge baseball fan, (Let's go Yankees) so most baseball movies appeal to me in one way or another. Moneyball certainly delivered that appeal in spades.

For us baseball fans this movie is a done deal. We all know about this story, and we all think it is interesting. BUT...what makes Moneyball stand out as a movie is that, let's be honest, it makes something that is essentially very, very dry...interesting for someone that isn't the slightest bit interested in baseball in the first place. My better half came for Brad Pitt and left with a new appreciation for the game (her words). THAT is what makes Moneyball an excellent movie.

Moneyball is a highly recommended watch...and not just for baseball fans.

Boring and too long. Doesn't worth the time.

This is the classic example of a movie that will just about always get at least a good review but it is by no means fantastic. That is why rottentomatoes.com can be misleading. The site takes all of the positive reviews, so in theory all reviews are positive or negative. I heard this movie as being to baseball what The Social Network was to the Internet. The difference is that you kinda have to know baseball to appreciate this movie. The Social Network was easily a better film.
