Rating:  - HIT BIG/MISS BIG.... THATS HOW HE DID!
Babe Ruth was the original rock star. The man who's name became synonomis with $$$ right from the start, and the fast paced, take no B.S. lifestyle. He was one of the coolest cats around, and this movie shows it all!
Alot of people say that the story is innacurate, and to that I say "AW Banana oil!" This movie is the tops. There's only one other movie about the Babe, and that one had him stepping into a dark dingy bar and ordering a milk! Babe Ruth didn't drink no milk. John Goodmans portrayal, ... Read More
Rating:  - Well Done!
The Babe is a great baseball movie with a few flaws, mostly in the embellishment of the true facts, but it's miles better than the 1948 movie with William Bendix as the Babe. John Goodman gives his all as he portrays Babe Ruth, a man who enjoyed life a little too much. Other strong performances are given by Kelly McGillis, James Cromwell & Bruce Boxleitner. I recommend this film.
Rating: - Well done
John Goodman's role is so realistic that I thought I was seeing the Babe many times! He is outstanding in his role as Babe Ruth. Hollywoood liberties, sure ...... but an excellent story and a look at an Baseball hero ........... A must for baseball fans.
Rating: - A Great Baseball Movie.

John Goodman give a good potrayal of the famous slugger.From his rookie year with the Boston Red Sox,the New York Yankees,and his retirement from the Boston Braves.Watch how he responds to a bad call from the plate umpire,saying he ought to get his eyes and ears checked.Babe Ruth was a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox,and in his last year with the Boston Braves,but played outfield with the New York Yankess.Now maybe the film exaggerates the antics of Ruth, but Goodman's ...

Rating:  - too close to a caricature
Be advised that after 45 minutes of the movie my 8 year-old son and I gave up. Goodman seems to have been given the license to "go for broke" with a "larger than life" approach, that leaves little for the viewer to consider of Ruth's actual life. With the broadest of strokes, Goodman plays Ruth self-consciously; the mis-en-scenes are without any surprises and Hollywood-predictable.
Too little was shown to give us the sense of Ruth-as-athlete and the milieu of early 20th century baseball, ... Read More
