Movie Reviews of The Rocket

Movie Review: The Rocket
Summary: 4 Stars

If you are a true hockey fan, this video is a must see. It tells the story of the Montreal Canadiens Maurice "The Rocket" Richard and his struggle to play the game. It is an inside story. If you think you know the story, you are probably mistaken and should watch and learn. Acting is great, cinemaphotography goes between between classic vintage B & W footage and new footage seemlessly. It is spellbinding.

Movie Review: The Rocket
Summary: 4 Stars

An unexpected nuance in this movie made it more of art than of hockey, but hockey fans will appreciate it for the story and movie fans will appreciate it for it's artful portrayal of what outsiders to the game view as a brutal, crass sport filled with toothless goons. It is a lovely and quiet film that is filled with brutality of body and soul.

Movie Review: RD in another great movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm not a hockey fan. But this movie has open a door in the history of the sport. Roy D is excellent. The story was one of power and dedication to corruption of organized sports in the 1950's, not just for Canada but the world. It's a must see movie.

Movie Review: slick flick
Summary: 4 Stars

This was a good movie whether you're a hockey fan or not. It was a great story and the detail in making it seem like it was really in the 1950's was unparalleled.
