Texas Ten Step

bypmills1210 Feb 21, 2006
75 Helpfuls 76 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Josh Lucas, Derek Luke, John Voight, film and accounts of real game
Cons Not in-depth or entirely accurate
Recommended it? Yes

In a scene from Glory Road, the head coach puts one of his players through an exhausting drill as punishment for violating team rules. During the drill, the player stops to ask the coach when the team will start to use some more of the strengths of the players. The coach explains that first comes... Read full review »

There's No Glory Here

Pros The best performance of Josh Lucas' career.
Cons Unrealistic basketball sequences, thin plot, Jon Voight
Recommended it? No

Glory Road are two love stories, racial injustice, basketball action, and just about anything related to a feel good sports movie. I suppose you are expected to come out of the theater loving Bruckheimer films but the reality sets in and you are annoyed that you spent ten bucks when you could have... Read full review »

Takes a page out of basketball history.... (Lean & Mean)

byquidrock Feb 19, 2007
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Josh Lucas, a story that was worth revisiting
Cons A little too slick, like most of Bruckheimer
Recommended it? Yes

I was fortunate, during my viewing of "Glory Road" to be sharing an almost empty movie theater one afternoon with a famous pro football coach and his family of young boys. I say that because I might have made light of the film that I saw, contrasting it to more serious and worthy sports films (Does... Read full review »

No Flowery Road Leads to Glory: Don Haskins and Texas Western Win Big

byquasar Jan 7, 2006
34 Helpfuls 35 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros great basketball footage pieced together well, focused on the whole team not just Haskins
Cons Haskins' family is superfluous and feels artificially placed into the story
Recommended it? Yes

I've visited several hundred college campuses over my lifetime. Some of them I lived or worked on. Some of them my parents worked on. Some of them held seminars or workshops I attended. Some of them I toured before I decided where to attend school. Some of them I just rode around for a few minutes... Read full review »

No Glory for Bruckheimer in "Glory Road"

bykevinbailey Jan 15, 2006
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A powerful story; some solid acting performances.
Cons Poorly produced; poorly scripted.
Recommended it? Yes

When I realized that Jerry Bruckheimer was putting together this film on such a powerful moment in sports history, I was concerned. These concerns were not unfounded. Bruckheimer--as per his usual modus operandi--puts style over substance, and in the process butchers what could have been a truly... Read full review »

No Slam Dunk, But An Important Movie To See

bynuzzle77 Jun 22, 2006
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Basketball sequences, great acting, wonderful cast, watching the most important moment in...
Cons Pacing slow at times, Jon Voight as Adolph Rupp, not enough "coaching"
Recommended it? Yes

Every sports fan should see this movie, especially if you are a fan of basketball as I am. If you are, you already know the folklore behind the 1966 NCAA Championship game between the national powerhouse #1 Kentucky Wildcats (coached by Hall of Famer Adolph Rupp) against the longshot #4...

Pros Keeps your attention throughout the entire film.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I played basketball for four years during high school. I enjoyed it. I knew the thrill of winning by a major margin and by losing by a small margin. Of losing to a rival or beating a rival. I knew what it was like to go to practice or to tryouts and have to do your very best to prove that you... Read full review »

Glory Road Takes the Long (and some might say the Wrong) Way Home

byhalfsweet Jan 19, 2006
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Josh Lucas turns in a great performance, the basketball is great
Cons The realistically portrayed racism is hard to watch, pacing is uneven
Recommended it? Yes

Glory Road tells the true story of famed college basketball coach, Don Haskins, and his scrappy team of African American players who had to overcome pervasive racism - ranging from nasty remarks to physical attacks - in order to win the 1966 NCAA basketball championship.
Haskins was a young... Read full review »

Pros Good game sequences.
Cons Numerous cliches and very by the numbers.
Recommended it? Yes

Sports films have long been a popular genre in Hollywood as classics such as "Pride of the Yankees", "The Natural", and "Raging Bull" are all examples of some of the finest examples of sports films which encapsulate the very essence of the sport they portray.

In the new film "Glory Road"... Read full review »

Pros Very interesting, uplifting
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I loved this movie from the first frame. It held my attention and I'm not an athlete by nature. I've got 2 kids that I took with me and they loved it as well. There were some kind of intense moments, considering I had an 8 year old and a 7 year old. The acting was terrific. There were no false... Read full review »
