Review: In my 10 years as student I've have seen lots of historical films. The Molly Maguires had some true points and non true. The film portaed them as; well the good guys and the mining company as the bad guys. As in real life they were roughnecks who in their sabotage they actully killed innocent people who where their own. But to the film itself was as my rating was ok.

Summary: Amazed
Review: In my U.S. History class we recently finished "The Molly Maguires." This movie is very accurate on the life of a coalminer and the wives of clans. The wages were accurate, and the working conditions were close. The mines "halls" weren't that tall though. Yet I understand that if they were actual size you couldn't get a camera down there.

Summary: Molly Who?
Review: It isn't a what but rather a part of our nation's history. After the September 11 bombing, America has paid more attention to the history of our country. This moving helped to show us a little of how it got started. So it shows that terriorism happeded during that time as well. These people were terriorized and treateded with little respect for their hard work. It is just amazing how far the United States has come in the industrial stage. Amazing and wounderful oppurtunities exist in todays working field. I still do not understand how they could treat them with such cruel treatment because America's backbone is the working man middle class.

Summary: Historical Scenes but Misleading Story
Review: Just wanted to clear up one thing about this excellent movie. Many of the Molly Maguires were murderers and not particularly noble ones at that. The movie uses real names of the people actually involved in this story. The character Richard Harris plays comes out looking pretty bad at the end, but if there was a hero in the real Molly Maguire story, it would be this very brave, or very stupid, detective spy.

Summary: Working in the dark mines
Review: Molly Maguires movie was in the 1876, about coal mining. This movie is about Irish miners and the hardships that they endure while working in the mines.
If you like watching movies that was in the 1876 then you would like this movie.
The only way I would watch this movie again would be at school.
I would not watch this movie at home because I like funny,scary,and sad movies.
It was a good movie but not a movie I would watch over again unless I had to. You might want to watch it and see for yourself.

Summary: An Aweful Movie
Review: My opinion on the movie the Molly McGuires, was it is horrible. This was the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. There is no real plot or any point through out the movie. This movie did not hold my interst an I do not recomend for anyone to even think about watching this movie. There was saying that is was a great portrayel of the mines but there was hardly any time spent in the coal mines. The movie was based around trying to capture the Molly McGuires. An there were parts added on to the movie that had absolutly nothing to do with the hardships of working in the mines. That is my review on the Molly Mcguires.

Summary: Irish Imperfection
Review: Of course, this movie was almost as true to life as Hollywood could make it. Yes, it was very close to some of the occurrences after the civil war when the Irish were mistreated and labor unions were very understated. With Richard Harris' character trying to bust the Molly Maguires in the middle of one of their crimes, he becomes involved. Of course, this is always a plot to some Hollywood movie. While in the middle, he is now trying to save himself and the Molly Maguires. In this occurrence, I had been absent that day. To conclude from what I have seen, this was and probably is the best portrait of what happened with the Irish immigrants.

Review: Personaly I didnt enjoy Molly Maguires. Maybe it is because I do not enjoy older movies but on the other hand if you are interested in learning about the life of a coal miner during the 1870's, i do believe that you would enjoy this movie. This movie showed how coal miners were treated and what the conditions were in the mines, thier homes and after work during this time. I do not think I am willig to watch tihs movie again unless i needed to.
