LOVEFiLM Review
-
By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLMBrad Pitt delivers one of his best performances, in this true story that's less about baseball and more about values and self-worth.

Riveting, and yes Brad Pitt can act after all.
By Onlylexus (119 reviews) from Chesterfield , 30 Jan 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I know you've see a plethara of baseball movies over the years, but I can assure you... not like this one! Ok it has a little of that American clecheid sentimentality that most of them have, but the thing is Moneyball hits you from a different aspect altogether. The plot grabs your attention because of the intelligence and mathamatics used in how to bring together a winning base ball team. The idea that any given player at any given time can perform statistically better against another given player depending on the average performance through a season is clever indeed. Computer power is used to calculate all the given factors of a player, his runs, where and how he might strike the baseball; Where a player or a fielder stands, or how many balls are dropped and in what circumstances, it boggled my mind and because of that I was so very interested. Brad Pitt produced this film and took the main role, I was very impressed with his acting in this, as usually I haven't seen any role he's taken that called for genuine character acting, but this role gave him that opportunity in bucket loads. Brilliant film and even if you don't like sport, you may like this one, I did. Top marks!- Was this review helpful to you?

(135)Stat Attack
By Trebor46 (14 reviews) , 05 Feb 2013Having no knowledge of Billy Beane found the storyline held my interes all through until a disappointing schmaltz ending. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill are both excellent. Interesting to see Liverpool owner John Henry portrayed. He'll have to change his overlook to succeed in the premier league.- Was this review helpful to you?

Too long!
By Kirkcudbright (22 reviews) , 03 Feb 2013Could have been better, I think. But I'm not into sports at all! So for me, I would have preferred more maths and character and less baseball. Sometimes I was fairly interested, and then it got boring. I think overall, it was just too long- with more editing to bring it back to a few key ideas, it could have been interesting.- Was this review helpful to you?

Tedious and unfathomable
By a customer , 30 Jan 2013Perhaps someone who has a deep understanding of baseball might enjoy this, but for anyone else it's just not worth watching. There is no plot as such, none of the unfamiliar terms used are ever explained - it isn't even clear what the role of a general manager (played by Pitt) actually is as he doesn't appear to do any work. Lots of gazing moodily into the middle distance, but not much else. Watched until the end just in case there was going to be a grand finale, but it just petered out. You have beter things to do with your life than watch this film (like watch some paint dry)- Was this review helpful to you?

Read the book.
By DistantRed (11 reviews) from Jersey , 27 Jan 2013This is a movie for baseball fans only, no real on the field action. Shortcuts a lot of the book and as I'd read the book before watching the movie I found this disappointing. Read the book, much better.- Was this review helpful to you?

Better than
By a customer , 25 Jan 2013Don't listen to the ignorami, it's a cracker, well crafted and well told. A little saccharine but well worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?
