Great movie if you are a baseball fan. Good movie if you are not.

Solid movie, especially for fans of baseball. Good story and acting.

Great movie for a great price. Moving, and let you think about life.

I love this story. It has one of the best endings in years.

this movie does a great job of capturing the essence of the book.

Good movie. Brad Pitt and Robin Wright are great. Terrific scenes with Pitt and his daughter and flashing back to his baseball career.

Nice Gripping story, good plot. Enjoyed the great star cast

it was a good movie, entertaining and worth watching.

Brad Pitt & Jonah Hill are a great combo. Well acted.

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill made an interesting duo..

The book was better than the movie, but I still enjoyed the film. It's a better movie than it is a sports movie. Lies directly in the middle between The Sandlot 2 and The Sandlot.

Good acting and very interesting, but if you want a baseball movie, this is not it. This is Beautiful Mind meets Eight Men Out.

Decent movie but the book was 100x better. If you have the chance, read the book by Michael Lewis to get the real gist of the movie.

If you enjoy sports films based on true stories or partially based on true stories, this is a great one.

I liked learning about the impact this coach had on the sport of baseball but the story was too slow for me.

Good movie and great story, nice to have a change from the normal drama and violence

watch with my grandpa and he loved the movie. I was 18 and not in love

a great story if you are into sports or baseball movies

I'll start this review by mentioning a small detail about me that I think is important to this review. I am a huge baseball fan. As I said in my Review title, if you aren't a baseball person in the least, you will most likely not enjoy this movie and you could stop reading here. For all others, here goes.. Moneyball is based of of a book which explains how Baseball has become a business. A business in which the richest teams always have the upper hand over teams that never had deep enough pockets to afford the best players on the market. This is a true story, which to my surprise was extremely well-told through movie adaptation. Quick Plot Rundown: This is the story of Billy Beane (Pitt), who is the GM of the Oakland Athletics, a team which is pretty self-explanatory for baseball fans (no offense, A's fans). He takes Peter Brand (Hill) under his wing and goes a different route to create a winning team with very little money - by way of finding cheap players with specific stats that are the most important to winning baseball games. Basically, its a team of average joe's, some not even average. The movie in my opinion was fantastic, but I know for sure that it will not be for everyone. Brad Pitt's performance was great, and Jonah Hill really surprised me with how awesome he played his character. The movie is a bit long (133 min.) and does have it's slow moments, but it also has moments that had the whole theatre laughing when I had gone to see it. It was a nice balance of serious and humorous. My Bottom line is if you know about the politics of baseball, and want to know how some of the most unlikely teams became champions, you should check this movie out. However, the bigger a baseball fan you are, the more you will appreciate this movie.

Moneyball is a fantastic movie for any baseball fan. Even nonbaseball fans will enjoy this one. It's the story of the Oakland A's and even though baseball fans will know how it ends before watching it, it's very intense. Brad Pitt does an excellent acting job. A chance to see the inner workings of a baseball team is well worth it. Surprisingly, you can watch this movie over and over and love it every time, even though there's not a lot of action in it.
