Summary: The Mighty
Review: I think that the movie THE MIGHTY was one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. It followed the book pretty well which is good and the casting was very good. The book brought tears to my eyes and the movie did too. If you like drama, this is a touching story that is good for the whole family. I really enjoy watching it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Freak The Mighty
Review: The movie "The Mighty" is about two young kids. Kevin Dillon (Kieran Culkin)is very ill he can't walk on his own and he gets seizures a lot. Maxwell Cane (Elden Ratliff). Max become friends with Kevin. He carries Kevin on his shoulders a lot. Max's grandma, is a nice character who takes good care of Max. She is married to Grim.

Kevin's mom who is Gwen Dillon, is very nice. She takes care of Kevin and doesn't miss her husband. He's in jail this actor's name is Sharon Stone. Max's dad, (James Gandolfini) Kenny Kane, has been in jail for a while. Loretta Lee is a nice woman she helps out Kevin and Max in the end. This actors name is Gillian Anderson.

I liked the movie. I'd give it five golden stars. Double that amount. I just think it was a really good movie. That's all I can tell you so if you haven't seen it go see it now.

Summary: Buy This Film Now!
Review: I had seen the theatrical trailer for this film when the working title was "Freak the Mighty." I suppose someone thought the term 'freak" to be deragatory; however, after seeing this sleeper, I'd be proud if someone thought I had those rare and wonderful characteristics Kieran Culkin's character, "Freak," displayed in this film. I don't ever remember this movie coming to Honolulu (so much for the "Coming soon to a theater near you" slogan!), but I was thrilled when it was released on DVD. I rented, and sat at home alone watching it one evening after work. I rented it again three days later when my girlfriend was over so she could see it, and loved it even more the next time. I've ordered the DVD from Amazon (it should be here tomorrow!), and plan on sharing it with as many of my friends as possible. This is as touching and heartwarming a film as I've seen in years. It is destined to become a classic -- it has lessons that all our children should learn, hopefully before they're too old to be shaped by the story. With little violence, almost no foul language, a marvelous soundtrack (featuring the title song by Sting) and an outstanding ensemble cast, you cannot go wrong with this film. It is destined to become on of my all-time favorites.

Summary: The Mighty(1998)
Review: This movie is about two boys whobecome really good friends (Culkin & Ratliff) both have really wild imaginations. both boys are different from each other and everyone else, but much lie one another in many ways. This film is the only drama that didn't make me cry, because everything that happened was expected. Sharon Stone who plays Gwen Dillon (kevin's mother) did a fine job with her part. Gillian Anderson (scully from the X-FILES) fit her part very well as an ex-cauns girlfriend, who gives max a helping hand. My favorite quote from this movie was said by Stone "Congratulations, you must be proud. You've just given birth to a healthy seven pound dictionary." I think this movie is much like "Simon Birch". Both Simon & Kevin were born with birth defects, and both found one very special friend who was always there for them. I think this movie was very good and so was the book. You should read the book first before you see the movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Quest of a Lifetime
Review: This film is outstanding...hats off to Sharon Stone for her portrayal of a single mother facing the knowledge that her only son is gravely ill and is not getting better.
Ill or not, our hero Kevin continues to fight the good fight. He befriends Max Kane, a boy with major problems of his own-his mother was murdered at the hands of his father who happens to be up for parole. Kevin teaches Max that you are only a victim if you allow yourself to be...and so the story goes.
This is one of those hidden gems that is along the same lines as Simon Birch (tear jerkers involving children wise beyond their years.) It is a sweet movie with an outstanding musical score.
Look for James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) as Max's violent father.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Enjoyable
Review: Sit back and just enjoy the movie. It's a nice one to watch, and I enjoyed the actors.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An Enjoyable Film of Fantasy and Friendship
Review: This movie reminded me of some of the friendship themes of REMEMBER THE TITANS and STAND BY ME. The relationship that develops between the 2 boys seems both mythical and yet believable. Some of their adventures are laughable while others are poignant.

Sting's song FREAK THE MIGHTY not only supports the action on screen but also strengthens the link between medieval fantasy and presentday life that the boys enjoy. Elden Henson is impressive as "Sir Max" and could be an excellent character actor for years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: *awesome book & movie....but some people have no heart*
Review: This is a great story of a very special friendship shared by two middle school boys,Kevin and Max. Kevin is a victim of a very rare physical disability, and it prevents him from living a normal person's life. Kevin is a very intelligent boy, and he lives in the world of his imagination. Max is an obese boy who suffers from emotional problems and a learning disability. He has failed the seventh grade several times. The boys start becoming friends when Kevin starts helping Max with his reading skills. Here is where the journey begins. These boys have nothing in common, but they can relate to each other about being outcasts, and being abandoned by their fathers at a very early age. Kevin's magical world of knights and their journy for justice is closer to reality than the two boys might think. Through their adventures, they not only become best friends, they become brothers.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: review of the mighty
Review: Ithink the mighty was a great succes. It could have used a little more detial about kevin's father. I think the mighty would be great for other people to watch. the movie didn't tell much of kevin's pastand how he got the decease. I think the movie could have been a little longer than usual. the mighty was a mix of emotions. this movie teaches us that we can do any thing we put our mind to and if we try hard enough we can succeed. than you for listening to me
