Ignore the Metascore critics and pay attention to the user score critics for this film. Remember the Titan(2000) is an amazing and well made film with great humor and lesson about race equality.

This movie is a sports classic. Its moral and sports parts go well hand in hand and make the movie what it is. It is not a Fellini-like piece but it is about as much as you could expect from a high class sports movie.

RTT is a movie that tries to fit 2 things in one movie: Racial Desegregation and Titans football, but fails to do justice to either.

The movie is an inspiring one as all sports movie tend to be, but if you are a tough nut to crack, you may start yawning at some places. It is quite predictable if you look at the movie objectively. There's the first half with all the good-for-nothing individuals, inspiration, motivation and boot camp training. Then there's the second half with the initial hardships, near losses, the inspired masterstroke and the big final win. But thanks to the racial undertone, the proceedings are dramatic enough to watch.

The script is inconsistent that is it is too weak/lame at some points but very strong in other instances. Almost all energy has been put into making sure that everything looks right from the outside. Individual characterizations are poor and it shows in the actors' performance. Some scenes are written beautifully but some scenes fail to impress. The director Boaz Yakin too surprisingly sticks with the script and doesn't explore the many possible angles.

Denzel Washington does an amazing job at the centre playing the insanely tough and bullish coach, Herman Boone. Will Patton who plays his calm deputy Bill Yoast is passive in the first half (thanks to the poor writing) but comes to the foreground and gives an acceptable performance as the movie progresses. Wood Harris and Ryan Hurst share a great chemistry and give believable combined performances playing leaders of the black and white bandwagon respectively.

The football scenes are a treat to watch. Make sure you know the jargon and tactics of football because if you don't enjoy them, you are gonna miss half the fun. Everything from the warm ups, the handful play sequences, the individual player's sacrifice for the good of the tea and the exchange between the coaches. The choreographer (if its the right word) deserves a round of applause for his work. Watch it if you are a fan of Denzel Washington or if you want to discover the meaning of team spirit. Watch the movie expecting exactly whats present in it and you will be impressed and walk out completely satisfied. But if you randomly walk in hoping to see something a class apart from others, this one will be a bit of a disappointment. But all in all, the experience will be worth 'remembering'...well at least for sometime.… Expand

I thought it was pretty good. The acting was very well done, they fit the characters well. The story was actually good, but slow. They made it to long in the middle, and to short of a beginning and end. I reccomend it though,

Disneys light racism in this football flick was on Denzels back. it really shines light on how different colors doesnt matter on the field, its all about heart, dedication, blood, sweat and tears. tough love humbles you and gets results.

"Remember the Titans" took me on an unforgettable journey back to 1971 Virginia, a time of high racial tensions in the city of Alexandria. The film masterfully portrays the true story of the 1971 state championship T.C. Williams Titans"Remember the Titans" took me on an unforgettable journey back to 1971 Virginia, a time of high racial tensions in the city of Alexandria. The film masterfully portrays the true story of the 1971 state championship T.C. Williams Titans football team, brought together under the inspiring leadership of Coach Herman Boone (Denzel Washington) and his dedicated assistant, Coach Bill Yoast (Will Patton). This powerful tale, directed by Boaz Yakin and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, left an enduring impact on me from my childhood days.

Watching "Remember the Titans" on the ABC Family channel became a cherished ritual for me. Even as the years passed, the film's timeless message remained as relevant as ever: the importance of respecting a person's soul beyond their skin color.

At the heart of the story are the Titans, a team comprising both black and white players in the newly integrated T.C. Williams High School. While their journey revolves around learning mutual respect and teamwork, the film doesn't neglect the individual arcs of central characters like Gerry Bertier (Ryan Hurst), Julius Campbell (Wood Harris), and Petey Jones (Donald Faison). The balance struck in character development ensures that the film never loses sight of its primary goal: the team's quest for glory in the high school state championship.

With a runtime of 1 hour and 53 minutes, "Remember the Titans" never lets the pace waver, keeping me engrossed from start to finish. Memorable scenes, like Julius Campbell's delivery of his iconic line to Gerry Bertier, "Attitude reflects leadership, Captain," provided not only entertainment but also moments for reflection and real-life lessons.

The film's musical score, composed by Trevor Rabin, perfectly complements the on-screen visuals, becoming a standalone piece that I've frequently enjoyed in isolation. Additionally, the carefully curated movie soundtrack featuring hits like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Spirit in the Sky," and "Fire and Rain" further elevates the film's auditory experience. The impactful sound design sets "Remember the Titans" apart from other football films, placing me right in the heart of the game during intense game day tackles and takedowns.

"Remember the Titans" isn't just a movie; it's an emotional experience that left an indelible mark on my life. It exemplifies how individuals can overcome adversities despite outside pressures. The film's powerful message continues to inspire hope, reminding me that respect and understanding thrive when we embrace different perspectives.

In my eyes, "Remember the Titans" deserves a resounding 9.2 out of 10. Its compelling storytelling, remarkable direction, and outstanding performances make it a cinematic gem that stays with you long after the credits roll. This film beautifully captures the essence of human growth, unity, and the potential to rise above divisions, making it a timeless classic that I will always remember.… Expand
