Summary: Sadness Of it All
Review: The sadness of this whole story is the real-life fact that the intergation of the school was a failure. T.C. Williams is today an all-black school. As is too true in US race relations -- despite good intentions -- blacks and whites remain divided -- and apart.

Summary: Nothing can come in between...
Review: Remember the Titans takes place in socially segregated Virginia where change is forced upon those who go to and interacts with the T.C. Williams High School where some have to give up some of their self proclaimed rights in order to reach a far superior goal. Coach Yoast (Will Patton) loses his head coaching job due to integration of the public schools to Coach Boone (Denzel Washington). However, Coach Boone recognizes the injustice that is brought upon Coach Yoast, and he invites him to coach the defense. Together they try to overcome the race struggle that has been fought in the US for the last 110 years and bring a team together to win football games in an extremely hostile environment.

Summary: Pure power
Review: This is Denzel Washington at his best--as a tough, take-no-prisoners football coach with the formidable task of desegregating a high-school football team. Also, this is Disney at it's best, at least outside the world of animation.This movie is thrilling, to say the least. The emotion behind the white vs. black issue of the time is very apparent. At first, almost none of the team members want to play with the other race, and almost everyone feels animosity, even hatred, toward each other. But Coach Boone (Washington) changes all that, and the contention they felt is turned to a raw energy that unleashes itself on the football field. That energy later culminates in a highly emotional climax as tragedy strikes one of the players. This is one of the best sports movies ever, and is a remarkable story of people working together, of the integration of whites and blacks in America. If you own only one sports movie, make it Remember the Titans

Summary: Top Notch Sports Movie
Review: This is a tremendous movie with a deeper message for all of us. The Titans represent what we can do when we all join together and prevent prejudice from intruding in our lives. Great action, great performances, and a great feeling after watching this. Recommended for all ages.

Summary: Not A Football Movie, A Landmark Film For A Disney Movie!
Review: I liked this movie including the cast: Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Hayden Patteneire, Nicole Ari Parker. It is just bad that one of the football players got killed in a car accident while driven drunk. I give it a(5 out of 5), because it's more than a Football Movie, a Landmark Film.

Summary: I Will Say It More Clearly- THIS IS NOT A GOOD MOVIE!
Review: REMEMBER THE TITANS primarily takes place in Alexandria, VA in 1971. The city has recently integrated its schools, and the citizens, both black and white, are furious over the decision. Coach Yoast is a white coach who has led the football team of T.C. Williams High School to fifteen consecutive winning seasons. So it becomes a surprise when the school board, in an attempt to prove the integration will never work, hires black Herman Boone to take Yoast's place. (Boone can only keep his job, however, on the presumption that the team will win all thirteen of their games- including the state championship- that year.) Yoast is unhappy with the school's decision, but he reluctantly accepts Boone's invitation to become the football team's defensive coordinator. As expected, the blacks and the whites of the team hate each other upon first meeting, and that hatred stays as the team goes to training camp. But Coach Boone is determined to make his players accept each other's race, whether it be through assigned cross-race seating on a bus or a requirement during camp for each white roommate to know his black roommate. By the end of camp, the team does learn to accept one another, yet against the will of Alexandria. However, during the football season on the field, the Titans show their city that the interaction of whites and blacks can work. That spirit continues as the Titans work their way towards the state championship. The spirit the Titans apparently show may be enough to convince viewers that REMEMBER THE TITANS is a wonderful movie. But people must know that it is not what the package is, it is how that package is created. In other words, REMEMBER THE TITANS may be a charm on the surface, but dig in a little deeper, and it falls apart. The film is obviously trying to tell the story of how a team gets over its racism towards each other and unites during its winning season. It is not necessarily a problem that this movie that attacked racism had to focus on the football field; the problems instead revolve around producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer has been known to create bombastic and bloated productions that emphasize style over substance, and in this obvious bid to gain some respectability among critics, REMEMBER THE TITANS follows that same trend. Under Bruckheimer's direction, the movie is steered so that an emphasis is placed on the football team's success that year rather than the racism issues that are the real roots of this movie. It would have been nice to see a deeper involvement within the rivalry/friendship of Coaches Boone and Yoast. It would have been nice to get a better understanding of how angry Alexandria was over the integration. It would have been nice to see a convincing development of acceptance among the team. But none of those issues are to be. Instead, they are passed up for standard cliches and insincere moments, which inhibit the entire movie. But the reason I find this movie bad is not as much the fact that it is quite predictable- it is because of the aforementioned "insincere moments." By that, I am especially talking about the absolutely poor development during the team's degree of acceptance- especially at a turning point where Coach Boone gives a haphazard comparison of his team to the Battle of Gettysburg. The characters outside Boone and Yoast are not really that memorable, either; they are just basically stereotypes used to insert their few traits (if that's what you call it) in certain situations to make them entertaining. I must also point out that it is never a good sign when a movie that tries to discuss a serious issue plays music that is suited not necessarily to the mood of particular events, but for the sake of sing-along enjoyment, ala "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." When members of the team (both races involved) sing along to songs themselves, it ends up more as comic than inspirational. And there are certain events in the movie that were absolutely unnecessary for a race-issued movie (i.e. a team member kissing another team member (of the same race) for the sake of humor, somebody throwing a football at a person (of the same race) in response to a sly joke). There are admittedly some good moments in this movie- such as the material in the first five minutes, which gives a rough overview of Alexandria's response to the integration, or a crucial game where the referees have been asked by racists to intentionally make bad calls that hurt the Titans. But moments like these are sparse and scattered, and when put in with many other events of cliches and insincere moments as those previously mentioned, it all equates to a movie that is ultimately a disgrace towards the seriousness of racism. (But, sadly, it is not necessarily a disgrace towards the joy of football.) There you have it- my opinion on REMEMBER THE TITANS has been stated. And because I do not think I focused on the cliches in my review, I would not consider myself in this case to be a cynic.

Summary: A FUN RIDE!
Review: It took nearly twenty years, but this winning sequel is a worthy successor to 1981's mythological masterpiece, CLASH OF THE TITANS. If u own the first one, u gotta get this one, too.

Summary: A Very Good Movie!
Review: This movie was very good but, it does have a little bit of foul language in it. Other than that, I was very, very pleased with it. The cast is amazing and the story line is incredible. It is a very good movie and I would recommend it to anyone who likes football or just likes to be very well entertained!

Summary: This chicks pont of view.
Review: I didn't mean to watch this movie. My husband had it on and I just happened to pass by as it started. Immediately, after watching Denzel Washington's performance for a few minutes I was completely sucked into the movie. I'm not a big football fan but this story goes beyond football. This is a guy's movie a chick can watch. Also a must see for teenage boys.

Summary: One of my top ten favorites
Review: I'm not really a football fan, but everyone kept telling me how they "loved" this movie. So, I rented it, then ended up buying it. This movie is now in my top ten list (really top five). Yes, it is based on a true story about football and a coach, but there is so much more to it. Denzel Washington is excellent in it and so are the rest of the cast. The story is incredible about different races coming together to accomplish what no one said they could. I can watch it over and over again and I am sure everyone will really enjoy this movie.
