Made me care about baseball for a couple of hours, but there wasn't that much to care about most of the characters.

I really liked the book--particularly for the innovative approach to baseball. The movie predictably tried to create a narrative to present the interesting concepts from the book. The characters and story is just OK, and the overall film is mildly entertaining. I don't get the enthusiasm for the script or Pitt's performance. (ps:69)

Good, enjoyable film, probably even more so if you're actually into baseball. Well acted and good pacing. The reason I didn't give this higher is because it doesn't really do anything special, aside from just being a really solid film.

While Moneyball is a very good film it just never really feels complete. Brad Pitt is superb and it's good to see Jonah Hill expand his acting repertoire from being "that fat guy who gets laughed at." The dialog is tight and witty, no doubt from Aaron Sorkin's talented polish, however the relationship between Billy Beane and Peter Brand is never fleshed out and the film suffers slightly for it.

This movie shows how dumb the MLB is with no salary cap. Unfair playing ground. I live in Pittsburgh they haven't had a winning season in 19 years.

What could have easily been an unengaging, standard-issue based-on-a-true-story bore, is turned into a thoroughly compelling and occasionally even moving sports picture, while lacking most of the typical traits of the genre. Sorkin's razor-sharp dialogue and excellent performances from Pitt and Hill are definite highlights.

It's a very enjoyable, easy-to-watch sports film with admirable performances all round, but it doesn't have quite the same kick as, say, The Social Network when it comes to modern behind-the-scenes storytelling. That said, Pitt and Hill make for impressive leads, and it's certainly an entertaining two hours even if it never quite manages to knock it out of the park.

Well paced entertaining movie based on a good adaptation of a real life story. The actors do a good job of portraying the characters well. The movie has a good strong story, script and very good dialogues and is well directed. A good entertaining movie that one should watch.

Moneyball is a great story, but one lacking the pathos necessary for a great film. I say this not to fault the cast, you can see the effort on the screen, Pitt in particular finds a person in his somewhat shallow role. Unfortunately the heart of the narrative is intellectual, with the human element as an awkward interjection rather than a necessary component. I've read the book, and I like how true this movie is to its theme, but I think a more dramatic departure would have made a better film.

Even to be so bad with sports I was enough brave to challenge myself. There was Brad Pitt for Christ sake! After scarily sporty beginning I was sucked into the story and it rocked out of any expectations. Solid story, directing and Hoffman, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill did good parts.

A mostly enjoyable entertainment that strains for significance, even if it doesn't have much to say. The film is really the Billy Beane story, and Pitt is solid, if unremarkable, in the role. The guy who plays Ron Washington steals the show in his two or three brief scenes--appropriate, since real life Ron Washington steals the show pretty much wherever he goes.

Solid baseball film, more about the inner workings behind the scenes than the players themselves, which makes this one stand out. Brad Pitt has never struggled to produce great movies and great roles, with this being no exception. Good chemistry with Jonah Hill, too, and their interactions were the highlight of the movie.

Pitt is engaging in a film otherwise made strictly for baseball geeks. There is truth and importance in the influential Bill James methods that Beane and the A's adopted, but the film fails to recognize key aspects of the team's success like dominant pitching or core stars. Still, the sharp narration and drama put a magnifying glass over the complicated inner-workings of MLB teams and examines the politics of markets and personnel battles. Good the first time, but doesn't merit repeat viewings.

Shot very well for a sports film. The parts with Beane's family were not in the book and a bit stupid and unnecessary. You definitely need an understanding of modern baseball to fully engross yourself in this film

Brad Pitt missed this one big time. I hated his performance. Chris Pratt was excellent in what little screen time he had. Overall, it was a decent story, but a rather dull film.

It was decent. All the technical aspects were fine. I can’t say I connected much with any of the characters though. I guess the acting was good, but I wasn’t really emotionally affected at all. It didn’t surprise me to learn the screenplay was co-written by Aaron Sorkin, as the film did feel like The Social Network at points. It probably would help if I was a baseball fan. I know little about it and pretty much none of the players or teams. I wasn’t ever bored, but I was never excited either.

Funny and fast-paced and led by a surprisingly good combo of Pitt and Hill manage to make a movie about baseball stats for people who don't care about baseball or baseball stats. Very well made and an all around enjoyable movie.

I usually don't go out of my way to watch a movie about baseball. I never played the sport. Even in P.E. when we played it I hardly knew the rules. Sometimes though, a baseball movie can be really great. I don't really know the history behind this movie or how accurate it portrayed things but I will say this... I think this movie is great. I love that Jonah Hill got an Oscar nod for this and I don't always like Brad Pitt but he was very good in this. Just a fun and good sports movie.
