The Mighty

Summary: Students Enjoyed It
Review: We really liked the movie The Mighty. We liked the action scenes such as the sled ride, the fight in the alley and the carnival, and when Kevin rescued Max. We thought it was funny the way the two boys stood up to everyone, the way Kevin created different characters wearing food, and how he made up names for people. There were many themes in the movie. For example, there was friendship, heroism, and Medieval Times. This is a good movie for all ages.

Summary: Learning Disabled Students Can Relate
Review: My class of fifteen "learning disabled" students read the book "Freak the Mighty". These are at risk students who for the most part, could care less about reading anything. They absolutely loved the book! Every day at bell time I would hear, "No, we can't stop here!" Some even wanted to take the book home and read ahead! While watching the film, I noticed some 6th grade boys with tears in their eyes and the girls were simply dissolved in tears. This is a wonderful movie for people of all ages but particularly for those kids who sometimes feel like they walk in Max and Freak's footsteps every day. We also read the sequel, "Max the Mighty" and found it equally as absorbing. We are hoping there is a movie sequel! Thank you Rodman Philbrick for writing such a beautiful,memorable story! Kudos to the cast of "The Mighty" for their performances. I intend to buy a copy for myself and several for gifts.

Summary: I wouldn't spend money on it
Review: I was highly unimpressed with The Mighty. Here we have another 'strong friendship between two outcasts and one of them dies' movies, which I believe is a difficult genre to do well. The problem is that the friendship doesn't start until after the movie begins, and 2 hours (or however long it was) is too short to develop that. If you want to see a movie with the same general idea that is done well, rent 'Simon Birch.' One reason it does well, aside from its strong story line, is that the friendship is already established and the viewers can get on with the events of the plot. Acting was decent at best in the movie. Many times it looked prefabricated, such as the sewer scene and the ambulance scene. And the knight motif got real old, real fast. There's plenty of other movies worth your dollars out there-don't waste them on this one.

Summary: A FINE PIECE OF MOVIEMAKING
Review: The Mighty is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen, and deserves to be considered as an all time classic. It is the kind of film that the industry rarely makes, a masterful direction, a marvellous journey that blends fantasy, camaraderie, and basically life. all actors/actresses gave their best performances to date (inc. sharon stone). The film made me cry, laugh, and stayed with me for a long time, and this is ingredients of cinema like it should be ! Buy It!

Summary: A Mighty Enchantment
Review: This movie will enchant the heart mind and soul, as a "mute" boy comes back to life with the help of special disabled kid named Kevin. Sharon Stone stars as Kevin's mother trying to make Kevin's time on Earth a wonderful experience (all that he has left that is) One of Stone's most moving roles, but still I think you should stick with the older stuff such as.......SLIVER!

Summary: The Mighty is MIGHTY GOOD!
Review: I can't say enough about The Mighty! I have never seen this kind of friendship and mutual credence displayed in film before. Kieran Culkin gives a humdinger performance as Kevin Dillon and absolutely stole my heart with a funny-tragic cafeteria-eating scene. Eldon Henson is also terriffic as Max the big friend. This film teaches values about friendship, sacifice for those friends, and, above all: Chivalry. I loved the knight motif. The film teaches that we are all a little different, but if we can put those differenced behind us, and help each other, instead of harm we can be world-conquerors, just like the knights of old. This film should be seen by absolutely everyone and was barely released theatrically. I didn't get the chance to see it in the theater but I saw it on Stars! tv and can hardly wait to see it again & buy the video. Only negative: It's a little too short. Only 100 minutes. But parents and kids of all ages should definitely see this wonderful little gem! Recommended wholeheartedly.

Summary: A very good sense of morals and values.
Review: The people who made this movie obviously have a very powerful sense of knowing what is right and what is wrong. This movie has good guys and bad guys. The good guys are always shown in a sympathetic light. The bad guys always get what's coming to them. Actions have consequences. This movie has a very strong moral center, and it is exactly what children need to see. I think that it is absolutely absurd that the MPAA gave this movie a PG-13 rating. This movie was designed with the intention of being seen by people of all ages. As a 28 year old man, I have never once cried while watching a movie, but this movie is the closest that I have ever come. This movie needs to be seen by children. And it especially needs to be seen by children who are "different," and who get teased a lot. It also needs to be seen by adults who had experienced such teasing in their youth. When I saw this movie, I felt as if it had been made with me in mind.

Summary: this is a wonderful and touching film
Review: I was very impressed by this movie. The reason I saw the movie to begen with was because I wanted to see Gillian Anderson. She did an excelant job(as always), and so did all the other actors in this film. I enjoyed watching Gena Rowlands and Sharon Stone. They were great. This movie has great meaning and is good for the hole family.
