Summary: Dissappointing to say the least.
Review: The reason why i bought this was because of the great reviews it received on this site but i have to say this film is completly overrated. Its just so corny. There were times i watched this film and shivered at the tackness of the script. The Charachters were just so wooden besides Denzel Washington who gives a great performance as usual. THe one thing i liked about this movie was the excellent music. This really helped to drag the movie along. I was so dissapointed though and id advise you to not fall into the same trap as i did.

Summary: This movie will change your life.
Review: This movie is more then entertainment. It is one that will stay with you. Denzel Washington's performance was excellent as usual. There are so many scenes in the movie that fill you up with emotions--happy, sad, angry, disbelief, inspired, shocked, etc. This movie will change your life, not just entertain. Not many men in 1971 after being the head coach, would agree to be the assistant coach to a black man. The story was profound considering it was 1971. People who went to TC say the movie was embellished a little. One question--Is football really that huge in Virginia? I know it is in Texas. Everyone should see this film!

Summary: Another inspirational winner
Review: Remember the Titans is a winning story all the way around. Denzel Washington does a great job portraying the tough, but fair Herman Boone. After having been named to replace a well-respected football coach for T.C. Williams High School, Boone shows us what leadership is all about. Boone sets off immediately to break down racial barriers and show his players not only how to work together as a team but how to "see each other's souls and not just the outsides." Although Washington is the film's main star, the supporting cast did a terrific job of capturing the confusing, volatile emotions that integration brought to the 70's. In addition to being a movie with substance, there's great high school football action and a terrific soundtrack.

Summary: A memorable film that leaves goosebumps!!
Review: Of course, I'm a little biased considering my love for football but this film contains many human elements (racism, a father's love for his daughter, dealing with hardship, etc.) that will spark a tear in anyone who watches this film. The line - "What's a matter Alice? Can't you see the family resemblance? This is my brother." is POWERFUL!! Watch the film to understand the particular scene I'm talking about. Not many films make me weep like a baby, but that moment did. It's exciting to see that many modern-day movies are releasing their DVD versions with the extras already included. (In other words, not following up with a collector's edition two years later that is marked up in price with a few options left off of the previous one.) "Remember the Titans" is much like Gladiator in that the first DVD release is very satisfying with the included extras. Besides the director's commentary, a new twist on DVDs in that the 2 coaches the movie is based on narrate a commentary. The 2nd commentary is just as good as the director's because the real-life coaches give you the laydown on the history and what did/didn't happen... Mildly entertaining featurettes, a good documentary narrated by Pittsburg Steeler, Lynn Swann, some deleted scenes and other "usual addons" with DVDs. A great film people of all age/sex/race will enjoy.....

Summary: Not too accurate, but otherwise okay
Review: There are many historical and logical omissions and errors. Granted, I had my own running commentary track. My father was a star football player at a nearby school during this season, then worked for the Alexandria City school system and actually knew these people, so I had much more information available than most viewers would. I personally took offense at the portrayal of Alexandria,VA as some hayseed little town. I lived and went to high school there. It is a mainly affluent historical city just across the river from Washington D.C. populated with government workers. The three high schools in town merged as a population move, not on any racial motivation, since they were all fairly mixed for some time, and I seriously doubt most people who lived there gave too much thought to the record of the high school football team, even though they were ranked first nationally before the season began. Taken as pure fiction, it was a fine enough film and had all the prerequisite football movie cliches, but I think it could have worked just as well without some of the racial tension. I'm not saying there wasn't any in reality, but it was if they were trying to make a '50s segregation-era movie in a more advanced '70s setting and it just didn't fit.

Summary: My new favorite movie!
Review: Wow! That's all I can say when it comes to this movie. One of the best warm, fuzzy, feel good movies that has come out in a long time. Something the whole family can enjoy. This movie made me laugh, cheer and cry. The best thing about it, is that it teaches a great lesson about liking people for who they are on the inside rather then judging them for what they are on the out side. Even though I am a big football fan. You do not have to like football to enjoy this movie. This is one to definitly add to your collection!

Summary: Remember The Titans - A class of it's own
Review: This is, without a doubt, the most touching drama of not only life, but also life in football ever created for the big screen. The story touches all points of human emotion, and explores any "race" issues head on. I was pleased to see that the story was based in fact, and that the members of this team held such high regard for each other in such turbulent times. I was truly touched. ... This title is a "classic" worthy of any collector's library. ... I would say that the price is worth it! Buy this video, show it to your children. Learn from it, and grow as people! ...

Summary: A feel good film which could benefit from more substance
Review: Don't get me wrong... I very much enjoyed the film. But I would definitely consider it light fare rather than truly dramatic or exploratory of the tension and atmosphere that surrounded these historic events. For example the friendship that developed between the middle linebacker and defensive end all seemed to happen a bit too easily. And by and large although you could certainly see the animosities that existed they all seemed to just melt away too easily. Sadly I cannot say that this is true about society in general. Denzel was more convincing as a football coach than I had anticipated him being which was a pleasant surprise. The film didn't make light of any of the issues but I also don't feel that the film gave adequate weight or examination of many of the issues either. You might think that after viewing this film that the issue of minorities as leaders would have been settled in the early 70's. Yet today the same issues remain. So enjoy the film, it's worthy. Just don't think that this is all there is to the story.
