The Natural (1984)

Rate: 9
Viewed: 3/12

3/12: I read The Natural by Bernard Malamud and saw the film, and I have to say the latter is better and more satisfying.

Robert Redford will always be Roy Hobbs. He's just perfect. His story is almost what if Mickey Mantle never existed. The Natural is a mythology film by creating a legend out of Roy Hobbs. Unfortunately, it falls short of perfection due to the long running length, disappointing ending, and poor acting by Kim Basinger.

All in all, The Natural is a one-of-a-kind baseball movie.
