Just wondering what the consensus is for the movie Pawn Sacrifice.  It's not playing near me, so I'm still waiting to see it.  Did you like it?  Thanks.

I liked it. Obviously its Hollywood and so has some inaccuracies. But its a fun movie, especially if you love chess.

I like it only during the world championship match. Other parts of the movie are just fast tracks.

Hi J, so I finally got to see the movie happy.png. I liked it!  I think they should have used another actor as Bobby. The actor did good, but he reminded me of spiderman too much happy.png.

Have a great day!

It's crap. Especially if you love chess.

I liked it. You can watch the whole thing for free on YouTube. I did watch it in theater the first time though.

I don’t know the fine details of his life so I can’t attest to its accuracy. I only knew the basics and it seemed to follow along those lines.

Best movie ever. It's like Top Gun without the fighter jets.

I just re-watched it the other day and I also think it was well done overall, though I know many chess "purists" who strongly disliked it. There are indeed many inaccuracies, both from an historical and a chess perspective, yet I did sincerely enjoy it and I think the acting was extremely good too!

Spassky was so damn suave
