James H @James1701A Jul 28, 2026 Compared to the modern slop we currently entertain, the Babe is a masterpiece. See more Nol P @NolPKelowna Feb 7, 2024 Putting aside the harshness of some other critics who bombed this, the Babe is still watch worthy. Sometimes an actor can actually try too hard and this movie is such the case for Goodman. But it was not his fault as the director could have directed more and made the movie more likeable and more interesting. An average film at best, and not in the top 50 sports movies of all time, I still think one should watch this to get some sort of idea on the life story of the great Bambino/Sultan of Swat. 4.5 of 10 stars.

It is a superficial biopic of Babe Ruth, that barely scratches the surface of the psychologically damaged man it presents. I kept waiting for the movie to be more than it was. Most of the baseball scenes follow the same pattern: some guys taunt the Babe over his swings and misses, then he hits a homerun, and they are chastened. Ruth's ego makes him simultaneously unbearable and hilarious, but not to the degree of Kenny Powers in East Bound & Down. The low production value, particularly of the baseball scenes, starts to wear thin as the film goes on. As a biopic, The Babe was a swing and a miss.

It's nice to get a window into the life of this legend, but don't expect anything groundbreaking. See more Read all reviews
