My 18 year old son cried!
When you have 3 children, ages 18, 15 and 11, sometimes that younger one just has to see some movies that are really a little too adult for him. This movie is one of those, but I don't think it did any harm and we had a lot of amazing discussions afterwards. 11 year olds can have very strong opinions and surprisingly mature thoughts on values about life and death and money and what makes people have a rewarding life. I can't say more without spoing the movie. I didn't have a problem with the violence because it is a movie about boxing--the violence is contained in the ring. Its not as if people on the street are getting beat up or blown away. I think you can stretch your younger children as long as you talk openly about the issues in the movie afterwards.

Best of the Year
I thought this was the best movie of 2004. As good or better than anything Eastwood has done as a director, plus it it includes one of his best performances, and sensational work by Morgan Freeman and Hillary Swank. A terrific script by Paul Haggis. The feel is reminiscent of the best of Howard Hawk's movies. It's funny, real, and touching without being sentimental. The Directors Guild just gave Eastwood their award this year and he deserves it. I don't think American movies get any better than this.

Outstanding movie but very tough to watch
This was an excellent story but it included a lot of violence. People that are sensitive to violence depicted on the screen will be upset by many of the scenes.
All of the actors were believable. The script was well written.

One of the best movies ever
Million Dollar Baby was a great movie. Laughs, action, and a good storyline are included in the package. A story that brings you up and down and never leaves you hanging. A good underdog story like Coach Carter. Five Stars!!!

I'm sorry it took so long to review this, but...
I can't stand how everyone thought this was one of the best movies ever! I bought it when it came out on DVD because it ws supposed to be good, but it was just alright. It's better a second time, but JEEZ! It's not that great. If you really want the best movie of 2004, go watch "Ray", which was actually above average. And if you really want a good boxing movie, go buy "Cinderella Man", which was the most underwatched movie of 2005--and only wasn't nominated for Best Picture because no one wanted two boxing movies in a row--but was about ten times better than this movie. Oh, and one thing that was left out content wise: there was also one "f*ck" in there.

A very well-made and powerful film with a great cast of actors, I can see why it won so many Oscars.

You forgot something.
You should change the ranking for the "sex/romance." There are scantily clad women, as usual. And I'm not talking about the boxers, I'm talking about the ring-girls. I don't understand why so much is left out in these reviews.

"Winners are simply willing to do what losers won't"
"Winners are simply willing to do what losers won't" means that winners act differently than losers.
Losers accept the loss and refuse to fight again while winners fight even if they loose. If "winners" win, they invest even more forces into their next fight.
I believe that is more about the life in general than about boxing.
