a film with very limited imagination. for a story about one of history's most brilliant (and tragic) minds, the story is told with the flair of a 14-year-old giving a high school presentation. this is particularly reflected in the soundtrack, which is composed entirely of material now used in car commercials. the story itself is one of the great sporting events of the 20th century, so it is appropriate that it is perhaps as good as the movie about the century's single greatest: the Space Jam

Just hours after the most devastating attack on the United States in history, in which thousands had died, Fischer could barely contain his delight. "This is all wonderful news," he announced. "I applaud the act. The U.S. and Israel have been slaughtering the Palestinians, just slaughtering them for years. Robbing them and slaughtering them. Nobody gave a shit. Now it's coming back to the U.S. Fuck the U.S. I want to see the U.S. wiped out." HERO

I don't know if is the subject or the acting or the story. Regardless I found it boring and annoying. It is just a weird movie, I can't make more of it. 38/100.

It's probably impossible to make a good movie about chess. If there was going to be one it would be about Fischer (not the best player ever, but inarguably the most interesting). This was mostly just a paint by numbers biopic. Maguire was pretty good tho.

It's great to see Tobey Maguire do pretty well in this role. The only problem is that the movie isn't sure, whether it should focus on the chess or the person, and gets to an awkward median which doesn't quite work, and you want them to show more of one or the other. It's a same because it has an interesting story to tell, just not told right.
