An unknown middle-aged batter named Roy Hobbs with a mysterious past appears out of nowhere to take a losing 1930s baseball team to the top of the league in this magical sports fantasy.

The Natural vurderinger og anmeldelser
- Mister Arn16. mai 2025I was not too fond of the use of flashbacks in building the story. Like most sports stories, you know where it's going, but I still enjoyed the ride.
- ecnal7. februar 2026An enjoyable watch. Good character development. A little fantastical, but I think that was intentional. A solid four stars.
- flavo436. desember 2025The Natural (1984) transforms baseball into pure cinematic poetry, capturing the sport’s beauty with stunning visuals and a haunting score. The film’s slow pacing and use of slow motion elevate the game into something majestic, highlighting moments of triumph and struggle in ways rarely seen on screen. Its story blends realism with fantasy, weaving themes of good versus evil into a surreal narrative that feels timeless. Robert Redford’s portrayal of Roy Hobbs anchors the film with quiet intensity, though the decision to have him play both a 19-year-old and a 39-year-old is admittedly distracting. A younger actor might have made the early scenes more convincing. Still, the film’s atmosphere, emotional resonance, and mythic tone outweigh this odd choice. The Natural succeeds as both a sports drama and a fable, reminding audiences that baseball can be more than a game—it can be legend.
- KatLynnH0w25. september 2025One of the greatest baseball movies of all time!
- mickerdoo25. august 2025A little too foggy and cryptic. Wish it would have laid more stuff out on the line instead of all the cloak and dagger.
- Eric Bakke15. januar 2025The Natural is a timeless story of second chances and redemption, capturing the triumph of overcoming past mistakes in the pursuit of greatness. With a standout Randy Newman score that echoes the spirit of Aaron Copland Americana, the film's music perfectly complements its heroic narrative, making it one of the most iconic and soulful sports movies ever made.
