This was the most desperate and frantically racist film I have observed. None of the acting was natural and categorically horrible to be blunt, and to top it all off it was an emphatically bad story line.

I already forgot them.

Whilst I won't remember the titans for long my time spent with them was fun enough. Whilst the movie is pretty cliche riddled somehow it manages to feel fresh.
Denzel Washington is good and there are some great early career performances from Ryan Gosling and Hayden Panettiere. Remember the Titans is a lot better than some of the cliche filled sport movies out there.

This inspired by real events American Football drama follows a tired and clichéd narrative that is male dominated and incredibly 'hoorah'.
Racial prejudice becomes the film's central issue and theme, yet unfortunately it fails to touch upon the real struggles felt by discrimination. Instead glazed over and dealt with in an easy manner, this soon becomes overly sentimental and contrived.

Watched this in a Film Club in college, and it was s fun. It was so amazing, the energy it gave out was so good and it made me feel very happy, like my family and friends mean the world to mean, and that's all that matters. We shouldn't get lost in winning/success/all that serious stuff, we should love and support each other through everything.

A football drama that digs deep into the story of a real time who must deal with prejudice then deal with more drama as the football season progresses. Denzel bringing a stellar performance with a young cast featuring Ryan Gosling, sorry had to say it. touching performances all around this movie show respect to the really life story.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Denzel Washington does a fantastic job. This movie has all the things I like in a movie. Sports, a twist, and very well known actors like Denzel Washington.

I don't remember much about this, but I must have fallen for its sports movie clichés because that's a pretty high IMDB rating I gave it.

It's an emotional powerhouse film, but it never really blew me away like it seemed to do for many other people.
