  I think Leon and Cyrus needs to go back and watch this movie. This movie never showed Brad Pitts character as a villain. Like he said, "if this was any other movie he would be the villain", disagree. He never did it for the money he states it time and time again throughout the movie he just wants to win cause he hates losing, and if you think about it, it goes back to when he was younger and started playing baseball because of the money and he became a loser. There is enough in the movie where you understand what the character is all about. Even at the ending when he was going to be the highest paid GM in baseball, he turned it down. This movie was about a guy who saw flaws in the building of a team, where the people he is working with is trying to build a team like the Yankees and other ball clubs with a lot of money. Him and jonah hill's character changed how other ball clubs manages their team and they started to win and even won the World series. I agree that the movie does move a tad bit slow, but there is also things in there that you see in other baseball movies. Like a bunch of nobodies getting a chance to be somebodies. And I for one don't see a problem with them showing the statistic science behind the build. I enjoyed that and brought in something new to my eyes on how you can view actual baseball. I give it a Full Price

  This is not a sports film its about Billy Beane and how he changed the way people think about baseball. Because of Billy Beane and what he did the Marlins, Red Sox, Cardinals, White Sox all won a world series based on Billy Beane's way of thinking.

  Why did all of you think this was a baseball film? It was sold as exactly what it turned out to be and exactly how you explained it. I really don't understand why some of you actually took points off for something that only you were expecting. I mean the movie's called Moneyball. It doesn't even sound like a movie that takes place on the field.

  Agree with the comment below that Beane used Sabermetrics because traditional stats don't convey how much value a player has. Sure they never won it all but he did change how players are viewed. Even the Yankees/Red Sox who are among the top in payroll use this method along with many other teams.

  Leon and Cyrus, you are both completely missing the fact that Beane is the hero because he is the one who used the system that was destroying the Athletic's franchise, turned it around, and beat it!  Those characters that you're saying "should be the hero's in any other movie" are just being slaves to the system in baseball and are to the point of just banging their heads against a brick wall, only to just get a headache.

  The movie isn't really about money. Its about science and how science was ignored in favor of tradition until it was forced to acknowledge it.

  LDT vs. LEOG! Who is the victor?

   

  The side with Co-Host...Anyway this is the most enteraining review from the Spill crew all year. It's like the Inception review, you guys just breaking each other's balls. I give this a review a Better Than Sex.

  @ArkontheGreenVillage

  The rating over all is different for each and every movie. The Spill Crew may prefer this movie over Spider-man 3 but gave it a lower rating because they are dealing with THIS movie and rated on its own merits not the failings of other movies. Cyrus joked on the LEOG about having something like the "Dark Knight-o-meter" and comparing every movie to The Dark Knight. That kind of rating system does not work because every movie, regardless of what is about, should be held and rated on its on merits and how well it coveys the story it is telling.

  Though I haven't seen it, I'm leaning towards Leon and Cyrus' position here.

  Wait, Baseball is considered a sport?

  For the record: Sabermetrics and fantasy baseball are two different things and the terms aren't synonymous. Billy Beane had nothing to do with fantasy baseball.
