Summary: One of my all-time favorites
Review: I didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did. I don't know much about football, but I love the spirit of this movie. It's about a high school in Virginia in 1971 that has just been racially integrated. Denzel Washington's character, Herman Boone, is brought in as head coach of the school's champion football team over the school's current successful coach, Bill Yoast. The white team members are resentful and afraid of losing their places on the team when the black players show up. After football camp, where the white and black players are forced to work together day and night, they learn that they really aren't all that different and that together they can be unbeatable. There's racial tension all over the town and in the school, but the winning season the Titans is having unites the town. The team sets an example for everyone about acceptance and tolerance. The characters are so well-written and interesting, and the story is very inspirational. I recommend this movie for everyone, including kids.

Summary: Worst sports movie of all time
Review: As a previous reviewer had stated, this is not about football. It's about an embarassingly preachy movie that distorts cultural differences, and tries to be cute.This could have been a great and moving film. Great/true story, Denzel Washington, good message. Too bad they had to try to get cute and funny, and then try to integrate modern leftist cultural issues into a film where the year is 1971 and these issues were not prevelant. If you want to see a great movie about African American triumph, see Glory. If you want to see a great football movie see Rudy. If you want to have your intelligence insulted see this horror.

Summary: Good Movie Here
Review: "Remember the Titans" is a good movie. The football scenes are the best parts. It also deals with the mixing of blacks and whites. I think it's hard to recreate the way it really is, but they do a pretty good job here. Generally overlooked, however, is the treatment of the players by the coach. He (the Denzel Washington character) is pretty cruel to them. The movie condemns racism, but condones this type of treatment. I just feel that it is really wrong (and harmful) to treat boys this way. But this is a good movie...not one for repeated viewing...but good for those of us who always hope for the best.

Summary: Serious Issues Mangled by Disney
Review: The film's conclusive message--which acknowleges the achieving of goals through racial harmony-is perhaps stronger than the archetypes used to achieve its effect. However, "Remember the Titans" made me feel divided because it seemed to focus on two very unbalanced issues-football and prejudice-by keeping them on an "even" level. On one hand, this film is very powerful and speaks to your emotions through the integration of the white and black community in the South. However, on the other hand, it spends too much time categorizing people and situations into a tight, neat little box. The ultimate impression left is that this could have been so much more; I speculate that Disney's knack for erring on the side of overdoing and overstating had much to do with this. "Remember the Titans" has dents in its premise. It seems to beg the point that football camaraderie is parallel to racial harmony. The movie implies this message through a series of events: the team must get along to win, if they get along, they have a better shot at winning; if a black and white coach can get along, then prejudice will dissipate; if the team achieves its ultimate goal, then people will remember how we can get along as a community and that we can reach for this anytime there is prejudice. Other flaws were rampant clichés. The black and white players don't along at first, then they get along and sing songs together on the bus in harmony. We have the halftime speech from Coach Boone ("Give it all you got boys"). We have the big oaf of a football player who "can't go to college" because he doesn't have the brains to do it. We have the "redneck" stereotypes. And we, of course, have the "win one for the Gipper" premise, and, last but not least, the high school football championship scenario. All these scenarios seemed to trivialize what should have been a deeper message. Rather than using stereotypes and predictable events, the producers could have focused more on the social aspect of racism and prejudice, and ways to alleviate it, and it would have had a much stronger effect on its viewers. I don't mean to completely knock this movie. "Remember The Titans" definitely captures the attention of its audience through its message of believing in oneself and coming together as a team. In its ultimate essence, it delves into many of the controversies that we handle in our time: prejudice, determination of goals, fulfillment of dreams and the obstacles that get in the way of those dreams. The action and dialogue may be a bit hokey at times, but the bottom line is that this film exerts a positive final message about what one can accomplish if there is enough effort put into that goal. "Remember the Titans" illustrates how there are ways to get past life's obstacles and prejudices and press on to the next level. If Disney could have handled it a little different, however, it would have been a substantially better movie.

Summary: I don't even like football and I Remember the Titans
Review: This is a phenomenal film. It truly is. Denzel delivers as does every other member of this huge, amazing cast. The boys on the football team--reviewers have complained about their age... It takes maturity to convey what needed to come across here. Perhaps, no, there weren't ample teenage boys to fill the roles. No matter. They seemed young and they did well. EXCELLENT, inspiring film. SEE IT>

Summary: Aren't there any teenagers that can portray teenagers?
Review: I liked the message of this movie alot but was amazed that they had so many 30something year old guys playing highschoolers... Aren't there any teenage actors that could play teenagers? Therefore I couldn't ever believe the acting... Please Disney! There are some fine youthful actors out there!

Summary: best movie of all times
Review: Although im not a football fanatic, this movie is the best one ive ever seen. before i got to go see it for the first time when i was a freshman in high school, i thought it was gonna be another dumb disney movie that would be underrated. after watching it, it became the best movie of all, in my eyes. story takes place during the early 70s in alexandria, virgina. schools are becoming integraded, T C williams high school. football team players was both black in white. in the beginning, they were against each other. but then they come together and so does the city. this film will touch ur heart and stir up ur emotions. not a minute of that movie goes on that i dont get goosebumps. i recommend this movie to everyone, even if they hat football with a passion. this will also make u realize how bad the turmoil with race was back then and how tehy manged to over come it. whoever give this movie below a 4-star, they better think twice and watch it twice. this movie should deserve a 10-star if it ever existed

Summary: A Beautiful, Inspirational Film
Review: In recent years, Disney's animation (save for the CG movies like "Finding Nemo") have shown a huge lapse in content and quality. What a pleasant suprise to find that Disney's live action movies are doing just the opposite. I approached "Remember the Titans" with a certain amount of criticism. Knowing very little about it, I figured it would be another story of an underdog football team rising to glory. I couldn't have been further off-base. This movie is anything but a football movie, though football is one of the underlying foundations of the story. "Titans" is a story about racial awareness, acceptance and understanding. It is the telling of a "true-life" series of events surrounding a high school in West Virginia in the early 70's, and the blending of black and white in a school that was always racially segregated. The football team, the "Titans", is the first to be affected by this change, when a long standing all-star coach is replaced by another coach (masterfully portrayed by Denzel Washington). The white families turn from the idea that an African-American coach could possibly guide their children. As the story unfolds, we see children who were brought up in a racially biast environment setting their own prejudices aside and embracing their teammates. The racial lines blur and the story serves as a reminder that, ultimately, it is not the color of skin that matters, but the size of the heart and the passion contained within that does. These boys become men, transformed through the game of football, to support and care for one another despite their race. This movie serves as a reminder that we must look beyond our own prejudices and pre-conceived notions as to what is right and wrong, and instead try to accept, without prejudice, our fellow men and women as part of a greater race-the human one. A great movie for all ages, though some language and situations might be inappropriate for younger viewers.
