1.0 out of 5 stars "The Babe" strikes out, Jan 30 2000

By

bigbook "bigbook" (Gig Harbor, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Babe, the (VHS Tape)

As a feature film, this is overly long, dreary and surprisingly depressing, considering the subject (the glory of Babe Ruth and his towering baseball career.) And John Goodman as the Bambino?As one reviewer noted, Goodman's one of the few actors who would have to LOSE weight to play Babe Ruth. Truthfully, Goodman is so grossly out of shape there is no way that he can convincingly pass for an athlete! He swings the bat more like Babe Ruth's sister. If you're interested in the Babe's life story, check out the A&E Biography video, or Ken Burns' Baseball documentary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Baseball Flick, Jan 28 2003

TomAzon (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Babe, the (VHS Tape)

Yes, I know it's not 100% accurate and whatnot but it's still a great movie. I think this movie goes best with HBO's DVD bio on Babe Ruth.

My only gripe about this movie is that it's been a decade now and it's not on DVD yet! Tell Universal to wake up!

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine well made film, which is Based on a True Story., Jan 28 2002

By

Christian Pelchat (Canada.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Babe, the (VHS Tape)

When he was a Orphan as a Child named Babe Ruth, he discover his hidden talent for the love of Baseball. When he turned Adult (John Goodman), he become unexpectedly a Baseball Legend.

In this film, which is surprisngly well made:an old-fashioned Hollywood-Style Bio-Pic. John Goodman hit a home run as Babe Ruth with his Amazing Performance. This movie has its grit and seeming no-holds-barred honesty. A memorable film, based on a True Fact. Directed by Arthur Hiller (Taking Care of Business). Grade:B+.
