“Resurrecting the Champ” Movie Review

“Resurrecting the Champ” Plot Summary

Up-and-coming sports reporter rescues a homeless man (“Champ”) only to discover that he is, in fact, a boxing legend believed to have passed away. What begins as an opportunity to resurrect Champ’s story and escape the shadow of his father’s success becomes a personal journey as the ambitious reporter reexamines his own life and his relationship with his family.

Good media movie with a great message!! :) :) :) :)

This film portrayed the media world extremely accurately, largely due to the fact that it was based on a true story. The way they explain how the internet has an effect on jobs and styles of writing in journalism, along with how important it is to be thorough in background checks as well as in the writing itself. This film sends a good father-son message out there with Erik (the journalist), his son, and the Champ. Both Erik and the Champ try to be the best in what they do so their respective sons will be proud of them. In the end this turns catastrophic because Erik does not do enough searching for facts and does too much trusting in a man he knows nothing about. Both men regret their actions and try to make mends with everyone they have hurt. This film has a great story with an even better message of the media world.

One of Jackson’s best performance

This is a sentimental movie with stellar performances. I dislike Josh Hartnett cause his character is usually cocky in many of his roles and that is what I see him as now, a cocky guy that gets irritating after a while, but in this role it’s nice to see his character change although he lacks personality and kinda boring to watch. Samuel L. Jackson put on a great performance, his acting was a lot better than I thought. The story is basically a meeting between a ambitious journalist that wants his son to be proud of him and a boxing champ who climbed to be #3 in the world, reduced to being a homeless man scaling the streets in Denver, and they start a friendship but soon Josh Harnett’s character starts to dig and find out all is not what it seems. The film shows the value of honesty, trust, vulnerability and consequences. This is a eloquent film with a good story that everyone can enjoy, unless your one of those viewers that just want things to blow up every minute. It was a good film but I think it dragged a bit and was a bit longer than necessary since at some points the film goes in a direction where the audience already consumed while not adding anything much, and the long running time doesn’t add anything extra to Eric and the Champ to the point it fleshes them out very well either which makes the movie a bit slow, especially the champ cause it don’t really show how he got to where he was, and so you just don’t care for the characters as much and some of it is just dull while it don’t explain any of the stuff the audience may have questions about. Despite the flaws it was a good movie, although Jackson carried the film.7.8/10

Best movie I’ve seen in a while.

I cant say I’m a huge movie buff or that I know a lot about movie reviewing. But I will say this. This movie was and absolute masterpiece in my eyes. It was nothing short of a breathtaking performance by Samuel L Jackson and to a smaller note Josh Hartnett. The plot the acting everything rolled into what i believe a stunning movie that deserves far more than what this movie has received. The only bad thing i can say is the ending was a bit sad for me after watching i wanted nothing but a true fairytale ending. After watching this it will be hard for me to see Samuel as anything but The Champ for a while. As said in the title I can only think of one word after just watching this movie …WOW.
