Customer Reviews for: The Natural

Rating 5 out of 5 - Watch it. you wont be disappointed
Plenty has been written about The Natural. So I won't bore you with my 2c worth. Just get it. Watch it. And enjoy. Redford, Duvall, Close, Basinger. You wont be disappointed.

Rating 1 out of 5 - Inferior version of classic baseball movie / Good documentaries
Some movies are better left untinkered with. The original film version of "The Natural" is a beloved sports masterpiece, no matter how muddled the opening scenes may appear. For some reason, Director Barry Levinson re-worked the entire opening sequence and created a completely different feel for the movie closer to his "original vision". For those who have never seen the original version, this version might be adequate. But being familiar with the original, this version comes across to me as a lame attempt to cash in on a 25th Anniversary Edition. Several classic, important shots and lines are scrubbed from the original and replaced with new footage, giving the movie a chopped-up feeling that never goes away. And the opening sequence is still not easy to follow.
I would have been OK with this new version if it included the original as well, but instead you're forced to hang onto both versions for the time being. Watch them both and compare, but in the end you'll reach for the original version every time you're in the mood to watch this great baseball film about life's redemptions.
One positive, the bonus disc provides excellent insight and footage into the making of this film, and is worth the price alone.

Rating 3 out of 5 - Great Movie!
This is definitely a movie you can enjoy as a couple, great story not only for baseball fans but also for the love story fans. I love this movie!

Rating 5 out of 5 - One of the best baseball movies ever
Ever since the first time I watched this movie, I have always enjoyed the story line.

Rating 4 out of 5 - one of my favorite movies
This is one of my favorite sports movies. It is about life and dreams and how one does not have to stop the other at any age.
I am glad I bought it.
Just a side note, I am always amazed at how many movies Robert Duvall has been in. I forgot his role in this one.
