And yet, it’s a good movie and many people are getting their tickets to see it although its not as popular as the directors and producers of the movie would have expected. It is the opinion of some people that it just came out at the wrong time, in essence there are other movies playing in theaters now that just seem to be better. So was it just a bad time for this movie? On the five star scale the movie only received two stars on web site so that tells you something is amiss.
It’s hard to decide on this movie whether its good or not. On one side you have an inspirational story about a boy and football, while on the other side you have a clear dialogue that is somewhat embarrassing. The casting was nearly a disaster however they did get the film released although it could be one of those films that falls through the entertainment cracks and just comes out on DVD a little sooner than expected. There are web sites that have trailers on them where you can view scenes from the film Blind Side but there are those fans that have closed their eyes in the concept that they have decided not to go see it. All in all it is a good movie, did it just come out at the wrong time, that is one opinion.

Good story is not the only strong asset “The Blind Side” has got. John Lee Hancock managed to group some of today’s most popular actors. First there is Sandra Bullock, America’s sweetheart and most popular girl next door. After “The proposal” and similar light comedies, this is a role where she is actually showing off her acting potential, and we must add – she is good. Her co-stars are none other than Academy Award Winner and brilliant actress Kathy Bates (awarded for iconic “Misery”) and “Friday Night Lights” star Tim McGraw.

Newcomer Quinton Aaron is very persuasive and magnetic, portraying Michael Oher. This is his first big role and he was absolutely up to it – a touchy and inspiring role, which will certainly open some big studio doors for this young actor from Bronx.

The movie follows a poor, little African-American boy, gifted and talented for sports, as he rises from his homeless background to the fame and sport stardom, with a help of a white family, willing to give him a chance to pursue his dream.

This movie is a true inspiration, with excellent set design, great music, beautiful cinematography, and most important – great roles. Kathy bates is amazing, she stole the show. Sandra Bullock is also brilliant, one of her best performances, and always good Tim McGraw.

Keep your eyes on a debutant Quinton Aaron. Surely, in years to come, more good movies are ahead of him. Just wait and see. “The Blind Side” is just a beginning.
