Summary: Highly overrated
Review: Surprise - another "Denzel against the world" film. In the last several years, this fortysomething actor has been in films where he has played either a cop, a military man or the victim of some horrible racial injustice. In each of these films, Denzel's straight-laced character has to fight an uphill battle against a seemingly insurmountable force. It's getting pretty tired."Remember the Titans" follows the same paint-by-numbers formula as the rest of his films. It just seems too easy, too feel-good, too lush. There's a theme park feel to it, as if the powers-that-be had decided to open a Rosa Parks trolley ride at Disneyland.

Summary: Boys of the bland
Review: Denzel Washington should have held out for a better script before he signed on to star in Remember the Titans, but you can see why he wanted to do the movie: He gets to play Martin Luther King Jr. and Vince Lombardi rolled into one sanctimonious tough love saint. The picture, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and "based on a true story", is set in 1971, just after the Alexandria, Va., school board has been forced to integrate a local black school with a local white one. Except that the film can hardly wait to get all corny and back slappy. The players become instant best buddies, engaging, at one point, in a locker room sing along of ''Ain't No Mountain High Enough'' (a great song that should be banned from movies as a hackneyed "feel good" staple). The jock lite camaraderie is like something out of a telephone commercial: It's reach out and touch your fellow linebacker. Back in town, the Titans' new solidarity is tested by a society still mired in racism - and by a script that's willing to trot out the cheapest tricks in the inspirational hack's playbook (the white girlfriend who's a cartoon bigot, a crucially timed auto accident). In a movie this treacly and glib, you can bet the team that plays together (racially, that is) slays together. Denzel, as usual, has leapt at the chance to play yet another role stinking of preachiness and forced sentimentality, as we've seen him do so many times before - cementing his place in Hollywood as a one-trick pony a little bit more each time (in fact, his shamelessly cut-and-paste performance in John Q should undoubtedly make that typecasting complete). Overall, a forgettable movie that didn't leave me with anything more than an urge to raid the concession area for the saltiest popcorn I could buy to offset the syrup-thick saccharin sickness Remember the Titans heaped on.

Summary: Best Yet
Review: I love any movie with Denzel Washington in it , but by far this is one of his finest movies . He does an exellant job playing coach Boone and he handled the racial problems with a lot of dignity and made the football players look at each other as people ,and not as emenies . just as it should be . I loved the part where he took them to the cemetary and explained what happened there so many years ago . It made them all stop and think to play as a team and not against each other.

Summary: My favorite movie ever
Review: This movie is a great family film. Ever since I saw it the first time I saw it I havent been able to stop watching it. It tells the story a football team of a school that has just been forced to integrate. Not only the players but the coaches too. The actors really portray what it was like during these times. it shows how they come together and overcome there differences, with a few conflicts along the way, and become a successful football team. This is by far the best movie I've ever seen. Also check out the soundtrack it is terrific.

Summary: Great Family-Aprpropriate Viewing
Review: It's so refreshing to see a movie appropriate (and truly interesting) for people of almost any age these days. When I go to the movie theater or store, it seems almost every movie is rated R with a few PG-13 teen movies mixed in. I really enjoyed this movie. The issue involved, of course, was race and it was dealt with excellently. By the end of the movie, we really got to like the characters as people, which I think is probably a hard task to get accomplished in any movie. The theme of the story (other than the major theme of race relations) is football, but don't let that discourage you from watching. I'm definitely no fan of sports-related movies, and I enjoyed it a lot. Bottom line:
A heartwarming, uplifting story that will leave you both saddened and optimistic. A quality movie.

Summary: Cynics Need Not Apply
Review: THE MOVIE I thought this was an excellent film and was well done in several aspects. First off, the talent is top notch with the phenomenal Denzel Washington in the lead as Coach Boone. Not to be overlooked and a very unappreciated talent is Will Patton as Coach Yoast. Both actors play off of each other well and I believe Patton has the more difficult role as someone who starts out against the protagonist, Coach Boone and gradually comes around. I also thought his accent was top notch. The youngsters they found for the football players were outstanding with Wood Harris as Julius Campbell and Ryan Hurst as Gerry Bertier getting special mention. They too have difficult "transitional" roles where their characters start out cold and set in their ways and gradually turn around. Both of these young men do an excellent job. The football scenes were great in an action sense. I love football but I'm hardly a tactician of the sport so I can't tell you how realistic they were. However, the film does a great job of lending import to the games but making it clear the games were not the focal point of the journey these characters, and their real-life counterparts, took together. THE DVD First of all, there are TWO different DVDs for this movie so I don't think you should be complaining about there not being a widescreen because there definitely is one. In fact, the Widescreen Edition is stellar with both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks. A big plus just for that alone given my preference for DTS. The extra features on the Widescreen Edition are stellar. About the only complaint I have is the disc doesn't let you change audio while watching the movie, you have to go back to the menu to change it (a minor annoyance). This is more than made up for with the supplemental material which includes some great featurettes and, best of all, commentary tracks from the real-life Coach Boone and Coach Yoast. This is a great way to find out what in the movie was real, what was exaggerated and what was made up. Much to the surprise of many cynics you will find they approved of the film and there is little that was changed for dramatic purposes. CONCLUSION All-in-all this is an oustanding film and an outstanding DVD, I highly recommend it. For those who didn't think it was "realistic" or the language was toned down, I say hogwash. Sit your kids down and MAKE them watch it. Films like this will hopefully inspire future generations to better their relations with people of another race, another culture and another creed. Certainly we need more films like that.

Summary: Youth can bring about real changes in community
Review: This is a show about the integration of a High School, the football team is the catalist for the changes in the entire community. They have to endure many things, including a new black coach, while their championship, probable coach of the year, takes a back seat as an assistant coach. The problems overcome by the team and the community in a perfect season, show that with the right catalyst changes can happen. Definate 5 star material as not only historical based on a true story, it is also entertaining don't dare miss a scene good.
