Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

SnoopyStyle Maxwell Kane (Elden Henson) is a quiet giant kid in Cincinnati living with his grandparents (Harry Dean Stanton, Gena Rowlands). He fears the return of his imprisoned killer father (James Gandolfini). He is hounded by classmate Blade and his Doghouse Boys. Kevin Dillon (Kieran Culkin) is his cripple next door neighbor with his mother (Sharon Stone). Blade bowls Kevin over and blames it on Max. Max gets detention and Kevin starts tutoring him. They become friends imagining themselves as a Knight in King Arthur's Roundtable as Freak the Mighty.The movie starts off poorly with the school bullies. They are very much two dimensional cartoons and played by weak kid actors. Elden is basically silent except for his narration. Kieran Culkin does a good job with a nice performance and has nice chemistry with Elden. The movie starts off weakly. Then the kid bullies take a backseat and Gandolfini makes a surprise appearance. He shocks the movie into another gear despite the odd accent from Gillian Anderson and the outlandish journey of Kevin. This is hardcore sentimental. I like the idea but the execution isn't the best.

phanatic87 Less importantly, I can't figure out why Sharon Stone is the number one credit when the story isn't really about her character. Other than that, this movie has good intentions and a great story. However, there were a few scenes that just felt overly tense, such as when--possible spoilers--Kevin begins choking on his food and loses consciousness, as well as the scene where Loretta is strangled (but not killed), which is otherwise understandable. This seemingly is supposed to be a family-friendly film, but with these scenes the filmmakers make it look more like a thriller. If the filmmakers had not done this, I believe this film could very easily have been given a PG rating. -6 stars for the tension.

blondy360 Every single cast member gives a riveting and moving performance in The Mighty, a beautiful film about the power and strength of friendship and imagination and especially faith. Max is a giant stuck in 7th grade because of his low IQ. He forges a very close friendship with newcomer Kevin, a tiny scientific genius with a severe back deformity. Max protects Kevin from bullies, and Kevin teaches Max about the Knights of the Round Table. With Kevin on Max's shoulders, they go around on adventures and doing good deeds like their heroes, the Knights.My only problem with this film is that I think Sharon Stone gets way too much credit. Don't get me wrong, she does an amazing job. It's just that I don't think her role is that big compared to the rest. Other than that, it's AMAZING!!!!!In the words of another enthusiastic commenter: "Rent it, buy it, SEE IT!!!"

FLgalNco I first saw this movie back in 8th grade, my school made us watch it on Diversity Day. I loved it then, I love it now. I haven't seen it in a long time, being in my senior year of high school now with less then 20 days till the last day of school & only a little longer till graduation. But I saw it today, on the WB2. I watched it, & I cried as I did when I first saw it, yes I cried freely when I first saw it in school. It is simply put a beautiful film. It's inspiring to all those who have ever been picked on, called different or have disabilities. It's moving & powerful & I don't really consider it a "kiddie" film. I think of it as an everybody film, a family piece. Anyone can watch this movie & it will touch you, move you. You WILL remember it. It's been 5 years since I last saw it till today & I remembered it. Anyone who thinks its sounds cheesy because of the title or because it's typically called a "kid film" or for whatever other reason, they're dead wrong. The actors performances are excellent, the story superb!! I highly recommend this film to absolutely anyone.
