Critics Consensus

Director Bennett Miller, along with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, take a niche subject and turn it into a sharp, funny, and touching portrait worthy of baseball lore.

Like a long, boring game of chess, where hopeful baseball players are discarded as effortlessly as a pawn and a knight, Moneyball fails to provide the sentiment it needs to inspire audiences.

Moneyball is a winner, one of the freshest and smartest sports movies in years.

Brad Pitt is at the top of his own game as Beane. Cocky and often nonchalant, he is gnawed by doubts that he tries to cover by grabbing a snack or pitching a grin.

Rated: 4/4

The trick of Moneyball is that while this analytics revolution has not made the sport any more enjoyable... watching the coup unfold via nonstop workplace arguments is a blast.

If The Big Short distilled Lewis’ prose to its most entertaining essence without sacrificing his scope and The Blind Side just favored the human interest portion of his story, then Moneyball fell somewhere in between.

How can you not be romantic about baseball and this film? A superb script by Aaron Sorkin, great performances by Pitt and Hill, and solid direction by Miller result in a phenomenal sports drama of how the sport evolved. [Full review in Spanish]

Pitt and Hill are great but the movie lags in the middle. Eventually picks back up but too little too late much like the A’s season. (70%)

A very nice and refreshing point of view for a sports movie. This movie was very interesting to watch. It had a really good story and was well put together. We see in the story that it focuses on “today”, but also Billy’s past, played by Brad Pitt. It was very interesting to see snippets of this during the main story, which kept me in a state of confusion, but it worked out really well. Very well executed by these actors, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, they all have such a natural way of acting and speaking, which is always so satisfying to watch. I liked it a lot, though there are a few points I would like to add to. The beginning till the first half of the movie felt very calm. It felt like it took a while for the movie to start up. Also there were a lot of moments in the movie that just felt unnecessary and filler, shots of them just standing or sitting, in silence, for maybe a little bit too long and too many times. It just felt a little awkward and unnecessary. The shots were not really there to build tension, so why let it play out so long after or in between dialogue? It also felt like the movie was a little bit too quiet in my taste. There was very little to no music, and some tracks from the soundtrack were just reused which felt quite cheap in my opinion. But still, a good watch!

Need a nap? Has to be the worst baseball movie of all time. Brad Pitt terrible acting. Half the movie is two guys talking on the phone.
