If you can tolerate all this phony uplift you'll also get a pretty interesting story about a shrewd Minnesota college coach named Herb Brooks.
[T]humbs up for this uplifting and inspirational movie about one of the great upsets in sports history.
Russell is terrific as coach Herb Brooks.
Big on slogans, but low on personality.
The movie effectively simulates the game's whirl, and should grab all but the most finicky hockey fans. But for moviegoers who think if you've seen one sports flick, you've seen 'em all -- well, you've definitely seen this one.
The movie brings the audience back to 1980 with bone-crunching verisimilitude.
Moving story of the 1980 Olympic hockey team.
A story about people rather than just one a team going for the win. In doing so, O'Connor makes Miracle one of the more thoughtful and enjoyable films revolving around sports.
Even if you don't know a "blue line from a clothes line," "Miracle" is a thoroughly enjoyable film that unspools like a Robert Altman movie where many characters' individual essences are revealed at once.
Miracle capitalizes on its understanding of team dynamics: the bonding of pain and gain alike, the ownership of integrity over ego, the satisfaction of communal accomplishment. [Blu-ray]
This isn't anyone's finest hour.
Russell is at his understated best in the film, which stands as a living tribute to Coach Herb Brooks.
This inspirational, rough and tumble, profanity-free testament to ingenuity also touches on the conflicts between work ethics and domestic responsibility.
A complex portrait of a man, and Kurt Russell delivers a major performance as that man.
Kurt Russell is perfect as hockey coach Herb Brooks in a true story that still manages to be rousing and inspirational despite its inherent predictability.
Esquemático em toda a narrativa, é apenas mais um exemplo inferior do gênero "azarão-com-espírito-de-vencedor".
Believe in the greatness of Kurt Russell.
While I don't like the way it simplifies history, I have to admit that Miracle is a hugely effective crowd-pleaser.
[It takes] a wonderful story and transforms it into by-the-numbers entertainment that doesn't show us anything new about hockey or this historic event.
It's not too hokey, not politically correct, not a mass of chewy, Disney-fried steak, not even a miracle -- it's just good storytelling.
The best sports movie I've ever seen.
Captures all the excitement of U.S. hockey win.
Catch the enthusiasm as you watch the U.S. team pull off a miracle win in a movie that makes you want to stand up, shout and wave a flag.
