Battle of the Sexes [DVD] [2017]

Well done film. Very well acted - Steve Carell is especially good as Bobby Riggs. The film is engaging, funny, and moving in all the right spots. The "tolerance for all" message is laid on a bit thick. It's appropriate, just a little heavy handed at the end -- and the film offers no sympathy for BJK's supportive, loyal and cheated-on husband. But it's still a very good and effective movie, and a very accurate look back at the era.

Yes, it's pretty much accurate, but even though we already know the outcome, the film takes through all the drama, tension, and even suspense not only of the match itself, but all the events and near-misses leading up to it. Fine performances from all the characters, not just the two leads, with an amazing re-creation of the 70's times, especially with gender and power issues in the world of tennis.

This movie covers the adult life of Billie Jean King. It shows what happened behind the scenes leading up to the tennis match she won against Bobbie Riggs who was the top male tennis player at that time. It seems realistic based on the fact that Billie Jean King consulted on the film. Emma Stone and Steve Carrell did a great job looking and acting like the main characters did in real life.

This is a very entertaining movie. Instead of focusing of the match of Billy Jean and Bobby Riggs, this movie is more about the character study of them. I think Emma Stone is excellent in this. Steve Carrell is a bit over the top but enjoyable.

I knew of the match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, but didn't really know how it played out. I used to play tennis, and I found this movie very entertaining. I couldn't wait to own it, and watch it again, and again.

This is a solid film, but it falls back on cliche narrative conventions. The strength of the film is in the performances by Emma Stone and Steve Carell

From what i read, this movie was filmed in a soft focus format to replicate the way movies were in the 70's. Sadly, this was NOT a good idea as it looks really out of focus. Otherwise, the movie was decent.

Both actors did a teeeerific job in portraing Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King. Even though I knew the results, this movie showed much, much more that got me caught up in this wonderful movie
