Empire Review There Goes Roy Hobbs...The Best That Ever Played The Game - 3.75 out of 5  (3/29/2001) The game of baseball is taken to almost mythical levels in The Natural, the 1984 film starring Robert Redford and directed by Barry Levinson. The movie tells the tale of Roy Hobbs (Redford), a talented young pitcher whose dream of becoming "the best that ever played the game" is struck down when an unforeseen event prevents him from playing major league baseball for sixteen years. The movie opens with young Roy on his way to Chicago for his first tryout with the Cubs.

The Natural would probably be my favourite - the cast is brilliant, headed by Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs the boy who dreamed of becoming a base baller and after a huge setback, finally gets there,Glen Close as his girlfriend is excellent, Robert Duvall as a reporter w   more >> Customer Review Great Flick - 3.25 out of 5  (4/16/2001) Aside from the obvious, Field of Dreams, The Natural is the best baseball movie of all time. Don't get me wrong, "Minor League III, Back to the Minors" was a doozy, and John Goodman did a hell of a job portraying George Herman Ruth in the biographical thriller, "The Babe", I think Rob Redford in the Natural has them beat.   more >> Customer Review GREAT!!!!!!!! - 5 out of 5  (4/16/2001) good   more >>
