This was possibly the most pointless movie ever made. The story never made any sense to me. Some ex-golfer Rannulph Junuh (Matt Daemon) "lost his swing" and Bagger Vance (Wil Smith) is going to help him find it. All the while... Full review

The thing you have to bear in mind when watching The Legend of Bagger Vance is that sports movies, by their very definition, tend to match the atmosphere of the sport they depict. Football or Ice hockey movies for instance... Full review

Probably Most Boring Movie Ever

Not much of a story at all. I was SO bored during this movie!! I watched it because of Charlize Theron (LOVE HER) and she was good in it and I have to admit she was the ONLY reason I finished... Full review

Though I am not to fond of Damon, he played his role perfectly. Will Smith comes in as a spiritual caddy or Damon's guardian angel to help him recover from his inner war scars that have taken over his life. I... Full review

This movie was surprisingly decent. I think Will Smith might have overacted just a bit. I liked the integration or real golf history with the fictional storyline.... Full review

I usually like fantasy movies and I really enjoy sports films. Combine the two well - like "Field Of Dreams" and like this movie - and I am sure to rate this extremely high. I've seen it three times and... Full review

But all concerned go to considerable lengths to stress that The Legend of Bagger Vance is not really a golf movie. The phrase authentic swing evidently struck a chord, because it crops up a lot when Redford talks about it - Redford and anyone else closely connected with The Legend of Bagger Vance. ... Full Review

Robert Redford has lovingly and skillfully created a gentle film that is beautiful to look at with glorious cinematography, rich textures and characters that we genuinely care about. Perfectly cast, Damon and the gorgeous, feisty Charlize Theron both dazzle with not only their smiles, but nuances, while Will Smith injects an amiable enigmatic quality to his Bagger Vance. ...

With the casting of Jack Lemmon as the film's present-day narrator and elderly version of Moncrief's character, The Legend of Bagger Vance gains even greater dignity and, indeed, the glowing aura of legend. Having earlier abandoned the socialite (Charlize Theron) who has organized the tournament to promote her late father's spectacular golf resort, Junuh now depends on the support of a young fan (perfectly cast newcomer J. Michael Moncrief) and the mysterious Bagger Vance (Will Smith), a smiling Jiminy Cri ... Full Review
