Summary: Remember the Titans...
Review: ...is the best movie I have seen in a long time....I truly enjoyed it. Denzel Washington was amazing, and the film really made you thing about what was important. It changed my view on racial issues. The supporting cast (the highschool kids) really made it work. It could have been horrible, but the kids put their hearts in their characters and made the difference. "Remember the Titans" is a film that will make your spirit fly, put a smile on your face, and a glow in your heart.

Summary: No.
Review: America's Race Problem, as observed by the Walt Disney Company. Denzel Washington plays a man who's just become head coach of a freshly desegregated high school football team. His tasks are to win a championship and to make the whites and blacks like each other. This is all easily accomplished, thanks in large part to the Temptations, which, once again in a Hollywood film, prove to be the "common demoninator" in the race-relations struggle (after all, who doesn't like "My Girl"?). However . . . judging from the football action, one may doubt the veracity of this so-called "true" story. ...

Summary: WE ARE THE TITANS THE MIGHTY MIGHTY TITANS
Review: Absolutely amazing A good football movie and a great story and Wonderfully. acted this movie still the best football film I have ever seen. It was funny even if you aren't a football fan this movie will leave you feeling good . I love movies that are true to life and make you think about what the world has been, is now and what we can make it be in the future, this movie makes you laugh, cry and cheer all at the same time and Denzel was an unbelievable football coach in this movie Of course, many people say that Denzel isn't exactly stretching his acting muscles here, playing the straight-talking leader-man once again, and surely, all of these people will have a point. But the bottom line is the bottom line and the bottom line in this case is that the charisma and talent combined in this one man is what make this entire story stick together to such a greater extent, and that's really all that matters

I really liked this movie. It had great acting and a great scrip

Summary: A powerful story about much more than football
Review: "Remember the Titans" is one of the best films our family has seen in the past year. We just watched the classic basketball film "Hoosiers" a few weeks ago, so I was expecting "Titans" to be a football version of the same story. Of course there are some distinctive similarities, but "Titans" is about much more than football.

"Remember the Titans" tells the story of school busing in the early 1970s to achieve racial balance in urban schools. This was happening all over the country, so this film gives us a slice of life in a Virginia high school not uncommon to what was happening elsewhere. It's about overcoming stereotypes and prejudice and getting to know people of other races as individuals. It's about taking people from different cultural perspectives and bringing them together to make a cohesive team. It's really an encapsulation of the American story, one we often call a "melting pot."

This American story goes on. As I write, the Seattle Mariners have two star players from Japan. I'm sure the racial and cultural mix going on within that team is very interesting, although hopefully not as volatile as it was on the Titans. The point is, in our society, we are constantly being confronted with meeting, working, playing, or going to school with people who are from different backgrounds. "Remember the Titans" helps us remember the struggles we've gone through in the not-too-distant past, and it perhaps reminds us that we still have a long way to go.

Another related film that is worthy of consideration is "Finding Forrester," although the language is a bit rougher.

Summary: Best Movie I've Seen In A LONG Time
Review: Remember The Titans wasn't a movie I was originally interested in when it first came out in the theaters, and I didn't go see it, because it looked like a football film and I'm not a big fan of football. But when I finally rented it with one of my friends, it became one of my favorite films of all time. The movie is about racial differences and how a football team had to come together to win in the middle of the integration of a high school. Denzel Washington is a superb actor, and he does a great job in this film. You will fall in love with the football players and their journey to come together. The movie is deeply touching, adorably funny, and extremely thought-provoking all at the same time. You will indeed remember the titans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Look for the Deeper Meaning
Review: After working in a video store for nine months, it's hard to find a good new release. Pretty soon, you begin to nit pick everything about the plot, director, actors, characters, etc. So, when I took a chance on this football movie, I wasn't expecting to be blown away.

Not only is Denzel better than ever, so is Disney! When first deciding whether or not to actually take this one home, I had to think about the dreading football action. (You know, all of the stuff that the guys want to see) Honestly, this one isn't another guy show. Remember the Titans is about so much more.

In a time of corrupt racism, the boys of a small southern town are forced to be civil, and it even goes farther than that. The black football team and the white football team must play as one. They must join to stay in the game, and the players must get along. This movie is about dreams, determination, hope, and fear.

This movie is excellent! I guarentee it won't be a waste of your time. From the very beginning the magic was there, and it flows throughout the show. If you like drama, you'll love Remember the Titans. Ever hear of the "Clash of the Titans"? Well, this movie gives another meaning to the phrase. Oh yeah, about the nit picking thing, I couldn't even bring myself to do it with this winner.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Remember Denzel
Review: The movie Remember the Titans starring Denzel Washington was outstanding. One of the best movies I have ever seen. I would call it one of Denzel's best. Taking place at T.C. Williams high school (an all white school) a coach by the name of Coach Boone tries and makes the blacks and whites go to school together. It all starts out with Boone becoming the football coach at T.C. high. He goes there only to be an assistant but ends up becoming the head coach over coach Yoast (Will Patton). He takes all of the football players both black and white to a camp to try and make them work together as a team. They have to do some extreme practicing until they can respect one another. By working together they become champions. While playing with each other some very strong friendships are made between the black and white players especially between Gery and Julius. Before they become friends their is some rough times between them. A quote that Gery says to Julius that really sticks in my head is, "you ain't nothing, nothing but a waste of God given talent." This quote to me shows that he believes in Julius and thinks that he is a great athlete with a lot of potential in football. This part in the movie I believe starts to build a bond between these two men. They really start to get along and have respect for each other and their races. They learn to work together as a team and not as separates. I reccommend this movie if you haven't seen it already. It shows you how rude people were to each other back in the days when racism was a big issue. It also show that if you try and work together you can become friends. It doesn't matter if you are black, white, purple, or green, it is what kind of person you are on the inside that counts. I believe this movie really shows you this and I think if you haven't seen it then you should go because it is a must see movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent football movie!
Review: This movie has to be one of the best football movies ever made. While watching this movie I was actually cheering out loud for the high school team. Denzel does such a convincing job as the head coach; sometimes you wonder if you are really watching Denzel or the original coach! Also the defensive coordinator is excellent. It was His team before Denzel came along, but they gave the team to Denzel hoping he would fail. Another, "We can't fail" movies, but it is done so well. The story is also very good. This is about a high school football team that needs to start having blacks and whites on the same team. This is the only school in the conference that is doing this right now. You can see that even though this story takes place in 1971, there are still a lot of stupid, ignorant people around that wanted to keep everything separate. If you don't find this movie entertaining and uplifting, then I would like to know a movie that is better. This movie goes in the same category as Rocky and Karate Kid. If you liked either of these movies, you will really like Remember the Titans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Remember the Titans
Review: This movie is outstanding. Almost everyone was saying to me that I should see the movie because it had a great story, so, I did. It was amazing. The story of Black and White was great and to say it was based on a true story makes me like it even more. What else makes this movie great is the facts it's about football. But, it really wasn't about the football it was about life. Also, Denzel Washington played his part brilliantly and he was the perfect guy for the job. BUY IT!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: overrated
Review: It's not just another team movie, it's a DISNEY team movie!

Seriously, I thought this was severely overrated. The acting's good, the story's good, the editing needs work (too many feet of football scenes - watch a real game, for pete's sake) - but nothing about it is great. Washington's a fine actor, but this is far from his best effort. He was better in his first film, 'Carbon Copy'. The story? If you can't see nearly every plot element coming, you're not paying attention. Your kids might watch it more than once, but if you have alternatives, you will get bored.
