Legend of Bagger Vance

Pros: Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron come together.
Cons: You might need some tissue for this one.

I sent my husband to Blockbuster to rent a couple of movies and he came home with The Legend of Bagger Vance and my reaction was, "Does this look like a drama that I would likee? It looks more like a sports movie for yourself," and boy was I WRONG! The...

Pros: A charming, not too quaintly told tale.
Cons: Will Smith sometimes talks like Ben Kenobi.

Matt Damon doesn't want to play golf, the rest of Savannah wants him too. Gee, I wonder what will happen? Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Jack Lemmon, and Will Smith star in a movie about golf, golf, drinking, and more golf. Damon is an ex-golfer who, after...

Pros: Will Smith's work
Cons: None

It wasn't until we were leaving the theater that my husband and I realized over two hours had gone by since we had entered to view the film, "The Legend of Bagger Vance". In my opinion, this is a sign that the movie was one of import. Since a...

Pros: Fine Performances All Around
Cons: Some Small Problems with the Editing

Last year saw the release of two films about the love of one sport. Sam Raimi's baseball opus For Love of the Game and Oliver Stone's football film Any Given Sunday were expressions of director's loving a sport so much that they became lost in their own...

Pros: great cast, great scenery, great plot, great soundtrack
Cons: too short, cliffhanger ending

Robert Redford pulled it off again with this movie. Starring Charlize Theron, Will Smith, and Matt Damon, and many other incredible actors, this golf movie awes millions. Even if you aren't a sports affectinado, this is a must see movie. Take a...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

When I first went to see The Legend of Bagger Vance, I wasn't quite sure because most of the golf movies that I have seen are pretty boring. This, however, was a total different story. I walked out of the movie theatre knowing that I had actually learned...

Pros: well put together-good family movie
Cons: the name is not well known-kinda dos not do the movie justice.

i seen this movie,becuse i got invited to go with my mother and father.
i was going to pass up the chance to go becuse i thought the name sounded stupid- or at least i did not know who this " bagger vance " was. but i thought what the heck...

Pros: A beautifully photographed, otherworldly fable!
Cons: It's enjoyable in spite of it's heavy sentimentality

Being a golf enthusiast, I was intrigued at the trailers promoting this movie. I found it to be cross between "Tin Cup" and "The Natural" A fantasy about golf. Director Robert Redford tells this fairy tale with warmth which is set...

Pros: Great acting, great story
Cons: The plot could have been more indepth.

What do you get when you combine Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Charlize Theron into one movie? You get one great movie. Add golf to that, and it is one of the best serious movies I have seen in a long time!

The time of the movie is in the late...

Pros: Good Cast, believable story line, holds your attention
Cons: none comes to mind

I went to see this movie because of the actors in it. I was impressed with Will Smith's portrayal of Bagger, he really seemed to get across just what his character would be like.
I thought Matt Damon was very expressive with his eyes and...

Pros: Scenery, sunsets, textures, night shots, photography...oh, and a good cast
Cons: Maybe a tad too sweet? but maybe not

This movie is one of the most beautifully filmed I have ever seen. A plot and characters that held my interest was almost superfluous! If you are moved at all by subtle effects, the glow of sunsets, the play of light filtered through trees, or night...

Pros: Strong performances from Matt Damon and Will Smith, Symbolism of the movie.
Cons: A bit slow at times.

Introduction The Legend of Bagger Vance is literally an unknown movie here in India. Though both Will Smith and Matt Damon are popular stars here, this movie somehow never came into the limelight. During recent management training on ...

Pros: Color, warmth, performances and music
Cons: Very much a golf movie, but not anything like "Any Given Sunday" was to football movies!

I completely agree with Mark Twain. His famous quote, regarding golf as spoiling a perfectly good walk through nature, completely encompasses the other "half" of the world. We don't like golf, and don't understand it.
But then there are...

Pros: Wonderful film about life's lessons and a game.
Cons: None

What The Natural was to baseball and Hoosiers was to basketball, The Legend of Bagger Vance is to golf. Robert Redford has taken the novel by Steven Pressfield, and turned this fable into a wonderful and moving film. A...

Pros: Well acted, well scripted, wonderful theme
Cons: Not enough time spent on the fall of the hero

When Matt Damon's super-golfing hero goes to war, he is the only one left in his company after a night of horrible fighting. His demoralized spirit leaves him no choice but to not return to a hero's welcome as he doesn't feel that he was brave or a...
