Entire movie in trailer? Check.Rehash of an extremely similar film released a few years prior? Check.Same, basic storyline and cliché theme like in other Disney films? Check.Needless to say, I'm not too excited about this one.

Well, I wouldn't call the films formulaic, since they're based on true stories. So they're really just telling incredible stories that overcome a lot of odds. The Hollywood Reporter gave it an excellent review, so others think it's a very enjoyable film. http://www.hollywoodrepor ter.com/hr/film-reviews/s ecretariat-film-review-10 04118740.story

Yeah, but the formulas are all the same. The good guys win. I felt miracle was sub par. Pretty standard sports movie. Remember the Titans was a much better film and I would consider a solid movie. I guess it depends on what you call great? Like Finding Nemo, Cars, Lion King, Monsters Inc., Wall-E great? Because these are great Disney movies.If you are talking Miracle, Remember the Titans and Greatest Game Ever Played great, I would say, I won't be seeing it in the theater but might rent it.

Disney has a pretty good history with sports movies based on true stories. Did you happen to see Miracle or Remeber the Titans. Disney also did the golf film, The Greatest Game Ever Played, so they have a great track record when it comes to sports stories.

I have thought about seeing it. My concern is that it will be like Seabiscuit, which was a terrible film. Also, I have lost hope with most live action Disney movies. They lack most of the magic from their other, older live action movies. This movie and Tron may help restore my confidence if it is good and not just a sports movie about a horse, who was an underdog - where ever single scene was dramatized to the highest extent (gag me - Seabiscuit). So let's hope it is good!

I'm here on behalf of Disney and just wanted to see if anyone was planning on seeing this film? It hits theaters this Friday, and actually recieved a very positive review from The Hollywood Reporter. http://www.hollywoodrepor ter.com/hr/film-reviews/s ecretariat-film-review-10 04118740.story
