Moneyball has held up extremely well. I just rewatched it and it's honestly near perfect.

I watched it a couple of months back and it is just a good as when I saw it in theaters and it is still relevant in today's game.

I'm 45 and I'm about to watch it for the first time.

Yeah I was really glad they didn't have the usual dad-doesn't-spend-enough-time-with-daughter cliché. It was refreshing

I really loved this movie. I don't know too much about baseball but it still kept me interested throughout because of the performances and the writing.

Irony of Chris saying 4 times he had an issue with the pacing, and they could have cut some of it ...

Same. Over the course of two years, it became one of my favorite movies of the 2010s. I’ve rewatched it probably 10 times.

Brad Pitt should have won an Oscar for this role...oh well.

Finally saw this movie and was 8 years late. Glad to see also a great review on it from so long ago. Thanks !

My brother and I saw the film right now the first time!!! We are from Germany and don't know nothing about Baseball... For US (we :-) ) the film in particualy was not too long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't know this sport and were very satisfied with all this statements!!! GREAT FILM!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!

This is one of the most re-watchable movies of my lifetime. It's a really good story, it's a really good script and it's really well acted. I'm left thinking why am I not romantic about baseball every time I finish it because based on this film I should be.

money ball and social network I watch at least twice a year! I think I'll watch m.b tonight!

Just thought I would go back in time with you, well done on 1M subs "you're a legend"

I've neer seen Moneyball and just reserved the blu ray from SFPL. Saw some clips and found your 10-year old review! Nostalgic - love your early channel reviews too, Chris Stuckmann!

The book is really good too. Although, like most books, quite different, and less of the emotional side with the daughter. However the book has time to go further into Billy as a player, a lot of the players the A's scout, and their Bill Jamesian baseball analytic use. I honestly never felt any issue with the pacing or run time of the film like him. I was really surprised it didn't receive more acclaim, because it wasn't the easiest book to convert into a great movie.

It's actually about 45¢. Works like this: There are 10 ears of corn: assets. There is $1.00 currency in circulation as accepted trade value for those assets. Suddenly some evil group of men take over control of the currency. About 100 years later, an assessment of the economic assets comes in. Again, 10 ears of corn in the system. Except now the evil men pumped in $10,000 dollars to represent 10 ears of corn. What 1 ear used to "cost" was 10¢. Now it cost $1,000. This is what's going on in the USA. Who controls the currency? The Federal Reserve. The USA government orders printed notes (dollars), the Fed attaches interest to each dollar. For the mere use of those dollars, the Government of the USA transfers the required interest debt to the people generating goods and services. How do you steal the goods and services of a nation? You simply control the Fed, pumping worthless paper bills into the system while charging interest for every one, regardless of actual national assets. It's debt that cannot be paid off by design, because the only form of payment the Fed accepts is it's own interest-owed bills. You cannot pay off interest with more interest. This is why popcorn cost $5 before. Now it cost a lot more. "Inflation" they call it. I call it what it is, international financial mafia scheme. The sooner the citizens of the USA move out of dollar bills into something NOT controlled by the Fed, but by the people, the sooner their system crashes and dies, and the assets of the people remain in the possession of the people instead of stolen by the criminal Fed.

Chris, Moneyball is not too long of a movie because the creator projected the heart and technical side of a game using mathematics and statistics to the viewer who are not familiar with baseball across the globe - where all comes down to one thing - Human Capabilities To Adapt Change.

Just rewatched Moneyball for the first time since 2013-ish, and… this movie is a damn masterpiece. Not just my favorite sports movie, but one of my favorite movies

Good to hear this is good. I played baseball for half of my life but I'm always up for a sports movie that's different. Great review Chris!

i automatically like all ur videos even before they load. just so u know.

Great review, from the trailer in your video it looks a lot like the Social Network in quality and script

Great review Chris. Like always, haha Looking forward to this film

I like Chris' current style of reviewing movies.

Kevin Bacon appeared in Sleepers with Brad Pitt. Couldn't help myself.

good review chris. i'm looking forward to seeing the movie!

Capote was great, hope you've seen it by now

For me an A+ movie :) still enjoying your review in 2020

Just rewatched it today after I first saw it in 2015 or something like that. Easily at least an A grade movie. Incredible script with top notch perfomances.

Trivia: Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision (Call of Duty games) has a similar role in this movie. Anyhow, glad to see another Brad Movie movie to look forward for.

this was my favorite movie of last year.definetley Awesometacular

Mine too 😊

The way they reveal Billy’s source of depression hanging over the movie that is based on his early playing career and how/when they reveal what went wrong idk it reminds me of the natural in the way there’s a darkness under the charming surface

Disagree about the length and pacing. I loved them.

I was expecting an A-, from the way you reviewed it

I'd love to see you try and sneak in those references to The Sandplot and Field of Dreams in a review of something like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

I want to see this movie, I mean, its Aaron Sorkin for damn sake. He is one amazingly talanted man. Brad Pitt is a great actor, I mean, Fight Club, Se7en, Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading in which he was hilarious. :P

This video holds up so damn well good job 👍

Yes actually because David Fincher directed Fight Club which starred Brad Pitt and Edward Norton and Edward Norton played The Hulk in a Marvel Comics Movie and Kevin Bacon was in X men First Class which was also a Marvel movie! :D

I just watched moneyball and I Ioved it. Just wanted to know your thoughts.

i love your movie posters brooo

@Colleen1991 I was just about to say the same. PSH is one of my all-time favorite actors and I think that was his best performance.

Oh, man. Check out Capote. One of the BEST performances of all time!!!

Great review! I'll go see this

good review as always

Your whispering end to this review was kind of . . . disturbing. Haha. Good review, though. I'm looking forward to Moneyball.

Great job Chris!!!

could not disagreement with you more on your thoughts about the pasing, i thought it was perfectly timed and perfection of a film from credits to credits

I am not a sports guy at all, I go to a few NHL games a year when I get free tickets… But Moneyball is the greatest sports movie ever.

Steven Zaillian co wrote the screenplay, it wasn't just a Sorkin script.

Personally the movie didn't feel like it was over 2 hours, one of the reasons I revisit it. Hooks you in every time. Great review though.

You don't have to understand baseball to like this movie, but if you do, it makes this movie better.

Great movie! Clever skript, good acting, a little to long. 5/6

Saw the movie yesterday great movie.

Wow, Kevin Bacon really is connected to Brad Pitt, Aaron Sorkin, and David Fincher. Awesome!

Watching this review in 2023 after just watching the movie and laughing at the complaint that the movie being over two hours is too long. Nowadays, the standard movie length seems to be two and a half grueling hours, and Moneyball felt refreshingly quick.

@notsotinydancer13 Its a Billy Beane BioPic and he is and was the A's manager

Waiting for “The One” Hilariocity review

Personally, I thought the daughter relationship thing was forced and had nothing to do with the movie. Brad Pitt's character didn't need to be humanized. Everything else tied in neatly while the weird scenes where a little girl plays a guitar stand out as disjointed.

@ChrisStuckmann d o you read movie scripts????

Okay cool, i thought i was the only person that whole connecting thing. Phew

The way he talks about Brad Pitt is the way I view Ryan Gosling now

I❤Michael Lewis books.

there was an idea...

This movie is 10 years old so this movie is a masterpiece.

I love this film coz I love maths

I'm a lifelong Yankee die-hard and 10+ years later, I still can't get enough Moneyball so now 2 hours is not long for me.

Disagree, I wouldn't of cut a minute from this film. It's perfect.

What is the difference between "film" and "movie" you switch between thoose two expressions constantly :)

he should def get an oscar 4 either this or tree of life

I loved this movie 🍿

Wow

Somehow not tripping about a pro-baseball player having to pay a dollar for sodas

The weird thing about this movie is they kept saying how terrible the A's were the previous season despite making the playoffs the previous year. It made the entire movie feel disingenious.

...oh, and loose the the Mario Brother T. Just saying.

Even if u hate baseball, you’ll like this movie

B+... Come on. It atleast deserves an A-

I totally agree about the trade scene on the phone. It really shows Pitt's character distancing himself from the players on a personal level and how cutthroat you have to be. You're going to play for whatever team. Goodbye.

A-

I was tired when I watched it, so I only watched the first half on blu ray. I'll check it out again, but this doesn't seem like my type of film.
