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.

Miracle no es la primera película sobre un equipo deportivo que consigue la gloria contra todo pronóstico, sin embargo, es una de las pocas en donde la realidad es más emotiva que la ficción.

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".

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.

You don't have to be a fan of ice hockey to appreciate this old-fashioned underdog tale about America's unexpected defeat over the Russians...

You're glad that Brooks and his team have received the big-screen treatment that their story seems ideal for. But it's sad to see their excellence revisited in such a mediocre movie.

Director Gavin O'Connor has given us one of the greatest sports movies of all time and the best hockey movie this side of the comedic hockey masterpiece Slap Shot.

The film is about the moment of victory, and what a beautiful moment it was.
03/16/04
The film has many great moments, but dare I say, it's not melodramatic enough.
03/01/04
Like all great sports movies, 'Miracle' is less a study of a competitive contest than it is a character analysis. And ho-hum, another great performance by Kurt Russell.

Gavin O'Connor takes a potentially jingoistic movie and makes it into a challenging little politcal statement--hey, you get the *puck* out of Afghanistan!
