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.

Dissects the inner workings of professional baseball with the same precision a surgeon would perform open heart surgery, and finds understated solace in Beane's self-reflective quandary. Much like TSN, the script is structurally and narratively solid, capped with an unbridled love for the game. The fact that I'm currently practicing this sport has only slightly influenced my score since it does very little wrong.

A sport broken down by statistics with Pitt as the leading man and Sorkin's hands all over everything. How could this not be amazing? Had everything I could want from a movie. Was well shot, had great acting, it was heartwarming, funny and constantly unloaded great scenes. It also feels like a half hour movie so the pacing is great. Haven't felt this pleased after watching a film since The Social Network.

I know nowt about baseball, and even less about the various stats that are bandied around when people discuss it, but this didn't stop me from really enjoying this film. The various relationships and conflicts aren't really fully explored, and I never felt like I was rooting for anybody, but the ideas, acting and execution are great, and the script is excellent. Loved the scenes with Pitt and the old-school scouts. The second adaptation of a Michael Lewis book I've liked - two out of two...

Based on a book I loved, they decided what story to tell first and used the parts of the book that amplified that story. It was somewhat quiet, and under-stated, which I thought was a nice refresher from all the movies lately that want to fill every event with a blaring sound track. Pitt was Pitt, Jonah was Jonah, and it worked. I had a smile on my face through most of the movie. It was funny, charming, and engaging. Couldn't have asked for a better execution.

Solid. Sorkin's dialogue is toned down to a believable pace, and the cast does a admirable job of making Moneyball ineresting and compelling, at times. The center of this is baseball (obviously), but the relationships surrounding the story are downplayed in a not-so-typical Hollywood fashion. I applaud this. Nothing screams greatest here, but entertaining and well made it does well.

One of the better movies about the best and most complicated sport on earth. Didn't need the daughter subplot but otherwise very cleverly written by Sorkin. Don't think it really deserves any Oscars because nothing really stands out as amazing, it's just solid all around. Spike Jonze with a worthless cameo too and gotta love all the respect Bill James is getting.

If a movie's goal is to get you to watch it all the way through, than this movie will probably do that job as well as any other. If a movie's goal is to inspire or excite or show you something new or teach you a valuable lesson or suspend your belief or make you cringe in your seat or wet your pants lauging, than this movie is going to fall flat (I considered going with "...this movie is going to strike out," but screw baseball).

Sorkin's tightly written script never dissects the main premise in a way that baseball novices - like myself - fully comprehend what the heck Pitt's tense coach Beane is changing about baseball. It's something important about numbers and statistics, and it's wrapped up in intellectual nuances without the typical cliched pathos of sports movies - thanks! - but it never really got to me. Thus, no home run.

Moneyball turned out to be one of the most interesting and surprising films of the year. Baseball is a sport I know absolutely nothing about. But a decent screenplay, sharp editing and engaging performances from Pitt, Hill, Pratt & Hoffman make a sport that's unknown to me surprisingly interesting. Im still baffled as to why I found discussions about Baseball stats so entertaining. It's the witty dialogue between characters that makes for great viewing. Thanks to Aaron Sorkin's great script.

On the value of personal truth, and how to get ahead in a business; namely one filled with a bunch of uneducated overemotional geezers with something (face) to lose. And also the struggles of the iconoclast: from self-doubt to the frustration that comes with confronting hordes of dogmatic mules. The way you've been doing things your whole (professional) life isn't as efficient as it could be. Deal with it. Brad Pitt is energetic and impressive. Bennett Miller needs to work more.

The book is better. There, I said it, I'm the elitist. The problem is, Beane as a character has no arc. He is convinced of his rightness, and we never really think his job is in any peril. Jonah Hill is great, but this is a movie that doesn't know what it wants. Is it a maudlin father-daughter flick? A sports swagger movie (like Any Given Sunday) or a cerebral Sorkin film?

It's more a movie about how the game is played was changed, than about baseball action itself. There is focus on one specific game but less so than most movies of the genre. It uses artistic license to compress actual history/characters, but its fair use and it arguably makes a better movie. It never looses sight of its main story, when you get lazy with over-reliance on habit, tradition and personality, someone will eventually take advantage of it.

Money, balls, stats and at shitload of spreadsheets displayed on lol-jeez-those-are-crazy-old-monitors. What's not to like? About as sexy as a 100 min. tutorial for Excel, but it just about works as an interesting look at the archaic (and often unprofitable) business mechanics at work in professional, multi-million sports franchises (intuition versus science, the notion that you need to have played ball to manage a sports team etc.).

It's a movie with a good script and solid acting all around, but I'm not sure how much people who don't like baseball will care about this film. I do like baseball and I was emotionally lukewarm throughout the film. It just never gripped me. I never felt the direness of the situation that the movie was desperately trying to convey. It's entertaining enough that I can recommend this to most anyone, but it's not something I'm going to rush to see again.

Moneyball may be the most cynical baseball movie every made. Denying baseball's kinetics, it also rejects Bernard Malamud's Americanizing identity myth in the novel The Natural. This is a nerd's revenge: name-checking real-life athletes, fake-scrutinizing the game's economics and ending with Pitt's close-up shakey-cam tears in order to exploit the current national sense of hopelessness.

I'm a baseball nut, I loved the book, and thought the movie was pretty damn bland considering all the parties involved. Part of it was knowing the outcome beforehand, but there were definitely little things that grated on me. Inserting his daughter into the story while she added nothing to the experience? Heavily downplaying the experiences with the lower key player transactions? It really felt like they were conflicted on what kind of movie they wanted to make.

I'm not sure. The book is amazing, whereas the movie is simply a film that has things happening that may or may not have a plot you can follow. Brad Pitt seems a bit wooden, Jonah Hill really shines, and Chris Pratt is pretty lovable. A lot of the attention to detail is amazing (getting the Royals' '02 uniforms right, player names, and so on), and I'm glad they included stuff like Jeremy Brown and the Rincon/Magnante shuffle. Creating a guitar-playing daughter was useless, but still, it gets by.

I think it would have been better if it just spent more time on Jonah Hill talking analysis of undervalued players and the actual games. They made such a big deal about those 3 players but we barely got to see any of them. But yeah, it was still pretty good. I'm only 9 years late on this opinion.

A very conventional, but solid sports movie. Ironic considering the movie's theme of breaking traditions. Played a bit too much into the "magic math formula" trope for my taste, and occasionally tries to build tension by pacing itself slowly when it's so obvious what's going to happen. Hate that! There's also that odd daughter subplot that goes nowhere... BUT, all that said - it's highly polished and generally inoffensive. Brad Pitt is pretty good, Jonah Hill is tolerable.

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.

Smart, insightful movie that really opens up the world of sports to show the side that has nothing to do with athleticism. Billy Beane, as played by Brad Pitt, is a great character. He was someone who loved baseball, but has come to resent it because he was promised a future that never came to fruition for reasons out of his control. So, this story becomes about him taking some control back. Definite must-watch for baseball fans.

If you're going to make a sports movie, Moneyball shows you how to do it: you make the sport take a backseat to nearly everything else. That doesn't just make it more than a re-creation of something you could find on ESPN, it makes it accessible to people who may not give a damn about the sport (like me). Every time Sorkin even comes near a script, it's smooth, rhythmic writing that can rarely be topped. That plus fine direction and performances make this a strong contender.

A surprise to myself I really liked this far-from-run-of-the-mill-sports-film that isn't afraid to say that it isn't always about winning. In an overall well acted movie Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill wringes out some excellent performances. And most importantly it never goes overboard in sentimental pathos.

A film with the heart (for sports, and for smaller sports teams in particular) in the right place. Depp, PSH and Hill are pretty good, the little girl -and her song- are adorable and the enthusiasm feels real. On the other hand, the film lacks speed and does not really offer possibilities to feel connected to it. Recommended for sports fans, not for anyone else.

I am not a fan of baseball, but I am a mathematician, so I really like the premise for this movie. Also, it is not so much about the sport, but about the man - or should I say 'the two men' - so it is really a matter of whether you like a well crafted drama with terrific acting by Pitt.

A film that plays it safe about a risk-taking man. I'm not a fan of baseball, but Moneyball is a lot more like the sports management computer games I've always loved, with the number-crunching. It's an uptempo, exciting movie that excels in every department. Its only vice is that it doesn't move an inch away from convention and hence has nothing fresh or different to offer. It does something standard very well.

I was absolutely shocked at how uninvolved I was in just about everything that happened in "Moneyball". I didn't care about a single one of the characters, nor the odds-beating tale of the players, and especially not the sport itself. Not only do we never see enough of either the team losing or winning to make its climax emotionally resonant, we're never told enough about Brad Pitt's character to have any semblance of investment in his story. A well-crafted, yet distinctly unentertaining film.

Unique in its approach, the film stands alone as a sports story seen through the eyes of its front office, which is way more interesting than it has any right to be. Pitt is perfectly subtle in his portrayal, creating a character both obstinate and driven. His arc is a perfect crux for the film's themes. A really cool thing about it is that the film's antagonist is the media, which is constantly playing in the background like some sort of ominous, perpetually mutable predator in the shadows.

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.

Moneyball is a great film about the game of baseball that might just get a little too technical to allow everyone in the audience to get full enjoyment out of it. Regardless, it has a sharp script, good actors, plenty of drama and the on-field scenes are probably the most convincing baseball scenes I can remember watching. It's a complete film that I can't recall ever being bored during, and it is highly recommended, baseball fan or not.

There's a lot to be said about pro baseball when the best movie to come out about the sport involves two middle aged white men sitting around doing sports calculus. It's primarily about the business side and cynicism of pro sports. There's little glamor here in the role Pitt portrays or in the lifestyle but he carries the role with intensity. What we see are bureaucrats trying to cling onto the dead romanticism of the game by living and dying by the W/L columns and cost efficiency.

Generally entertaining film is a little too episodic in structure, and goes on longer than necessary, but worthwhile for an intelligent screenplay and Pitt's extraordinarily emphatic, multi-layered and touching performance in the lead.

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 Sports Movie is among the most convention-driven, formula-following subgenres in cinema, and is one of my least favorites. Moneyball is an exception to this. It's a refreshingly unique take on the tired subgenre. But its greatest asset is its ability to engage and entertain despite its uncinematic premise. I admit that a non-baseball fan might not dig this, since much of the enjoyment comes from the insightful behind-the-scenes look at MLB management. Luckily I'm not one of those people.

It's got the surface stuff for dramatic greatness-an intriguing premise, a solid cast, entertaining dialogue (see Billy's flurry of calls at the trade deadline), and slick editing that smoothly incorporates lots of flashbacks and archival footage-but the story holds it back in a couple ways: Billy's personal life often feels like an unnecessary inclusion, and the intellectualism of the sports narrative seems to get replaced in the third act with a more typical underdog/pep-talk type feel.

Intelligent, well-crafted, and deeply affecting, with Brad Pitt giving us one of the best performances of the year (and Hill giving comic relief as the worthy sidekick). Truly, the best films about sports are those that don't focus too much on the game but on the people behind it. Wisely sidestepping sentimentality, Miller gives us a highly entertaining baseball film that is also about daring to revolutionize and challenge the norms.

Close to documentary, this 'sport' movie is not one of those emotional and with an unreasonable success in the last minute. It doesn't even try something close. Even with that lack of implication in the emotional level, I have to recognize I was highly curious, desiring to know what happened, what could they reach, and never bored. It also has some interesting thoughts about choices, sports, bussiness, evolution... so said that, almost everything. Interesting, original, but a bit bland.

If you care about baseball and stats it's an interesting and well executed biopic. Rather briskly paced despite the length with compelling lead performances.

As somebody who actively dislikes the sport of baseball, I was thoroughly impressed that I could be so engaged with the movie. I'm not sure why I ever doubt Sorkin's ability to take mundane subjects like a website or baseball statistics and turn out a fascinating script. One of the better movies of the year. Pitt also turned out a great performance.

Solid film, engaging even though its mostly just a lot of talking.

So, here's my list: I like baseball, I like Aaron Sorkin's writing, I like Brad Pitt, I like Jonah Hill, I like Phillip Seymour Hoffman, I like films, I like attention to detail, and, I'm from the Bay Area,... So, yeah, guess what? ...I liked this film quite a lot!

I feel like I got even more out of this film because I love Baseball, but even if you don't know a thing about Baseball you can at least appreciate the performances.

A topical theme of our times -- numerical predictions besting human intuition. Not a baseball or sports fan myself, I still found the acting and story entertaining enough. The dialogue sometimes becomes banal, however this seems to be deliberate. It's less a flaw in the script and more a faithful representation of the real and imperfect humans confronted by paradigm shift.

I love baseball and I loved Moneyball in book form, but this was a boring vehicle for Brad Pitt to chew scenery.

I found myself absolutely fascinated, though this really shouldn't have worked. Not sure how it would go over for a non Baseball fan, but it's a compelling story. Slightly baffled by Jonah Hill's oscar nom as he's not given a crazy amount to do really. And if Kerris Dorsey actually performed the song at the end then that kid has a music career ahead of her.

I do not like baseball, but as I once stated, I do like good sport movie. This is one of them. Good story, very good acting, and good atmosphere. The fact that it is also real life story, makes it even more interesting. In a way, this is David Vs Golliat story, and is well told. But I feel that it shold be longer, or even maybe series, in order to fully develop caracters and create real connection with spectator. That is the main reason why it is not ranked better. But it is worth spendig time
