The Rocket

This is actually a good hockey movie. If you are a fan of hockey then you should see this film. The only thing I wanted more of was further development from the supporting characters.

A series of anti-climatic events with not so great actors. Seriously, there are huge historical, life changing events that happen and it's no big deal. It seems like this movie is barely about anything at all. Also, given how little Richard actually talks, there's not a whole lot to sympathize with.

It's a good hockey doc about Maurice Richard, the issue is that it is ONLY about Maurice Richard. The other characters only exist in their capacity to interact with Maurice and poor Henri is never mentioned as far as I remember. Maurice himself is very quiet to add to the lack of characterization problem. However, all the on-ice stuff in this film is pure gold.
