The Babe (1992)

Rate: 7
Viewed: 6/14

6/14: The Babe is a surprisingly truthful picture about Babe Ruth, the former New York Yankee slugger, but unfortunately, it's filled with many myths and historical inaccuracies.

What's refreshing is it's not as sugar-coated as I've feared it would be. So, it's still a good baseball picture showing what, I guess with a grain of salt, he was like back then.

On the other hand, it's possible Babe Ruth's IQ was equal to the number of most home runs he hit in one season. At least, John Goodman gives a great, believable performance.

All in all, The Babe is an enjoyable viewing despite the negatives.
