I just got back from the movie and all I can say is wow. A wonderful portrayal of the 1980 US Olympic Team. Although, it kind of drags a bit, but only because everyone knows the outcome of the movie. Other than that, The movie could not have been done any better. I thought they did a great job with filming the hockey scenes, probably the best I've seen in any film at capturing the speed, the hitting, etc., without making it seem unrealistic and cartoonish. I was also very impressed that all the equipment was period-appropriate...we didn't see anyone using a Synergy or wearing a visor, for example.
Kurt Russell really did a great job as Herb Brooks, too.
GO SEE IT!!
