A hero's story and a love story combined into one. After seeing it the first time, I just can not skip over it when I scroll the remote control to find it playing on the movie station. I seen it more than 8 times and still become enthralled of many scenes including the love of children that he had, his standing up against bullies, his will of winning all within a self depreciative man who many of us have come to view as an hero. No wonder that in 1996, some 46 years after he retired from hockey, Maurice merited the affection of all during the last game in the Montreal Forum. Thank you Maurice.

Best movie I`ve seen in a long time. I`m not even a big hockey fan and loved every minute. Roy Dupuis is riveting.

This is by far the best sports movie I have ever seen. As an American hockey fan who loves the history of the game, watching this movie was like seeing many of my books come to life. The acting, writing and cinematography were all exceptional.

i was born in Montreal, but after all that occured in the movie. and i was sooo appreciative of learning about the TRUTH at that time, not only in my home town, but in the NHL.

It is awesome! I love it

The Rocket may very well be the best hockey movie ever made, but to merely call it a great hockey movie would be selling it short. It captured Richard as not only the great hockey player, but also as an icon for French-Canadians. A terrific, terrific movie.

The movie underscored the Rocket`s impact on, not only the game of hockey, but on Canadian society. It illustrates his committment to playing a passionate game of hockey but also his willingness to stand up to brutal injustice.

Authentic portrayl of period hockey. Real Canadiana.

What a brilliant film! I am so proud that he was Canadian, that he was a gentleman to the end, and that he stood up for what he believed in. What an inspiration, and what a great tribute to our country. You go Maurice!

Fantastic! One of the 3 best hockey films ever made (along with "The Sweater" and "Slapshot").

Immediate cult classic. Best hockey flick ever.

Well documented. Far from a boring bio.

User review rating: 0 September 27, 2006

Speeking of the "two solitudes", i think this movie is the first one that merges two points of view. Don`t forget that the director did all the advertising campaigns for the former prime minister Jean Chretien. So beeing french-canadian, he was able to give his point of view without beeing "cliche" or crooked. THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE and even if C.R.A.Z.Y. won best quebec movie, THE ROCKET should of won!

I thought the history side of the movie was fantastic!! The hockey action was like riding a ROCKET!! The only downfall to the entire movie was it`s lack of menu options. I know it was a movie made in Quebec, but it should have more English speaking features. Still a great watch!!

i think it`s a good movie about the marcurie rocket richard becase hes a legend

By the way, he WANTED to enlist/enroll/whatever and go to war! But the army refused him, that`s the true context as opposed to what I`ve read here! Even the movie recalls this, when his future wife`s dad asks him how the hell he could play for the canadiens while the army refused him because of his flatfoot... The fact is that during this era, we thought that flat-foot was some kind of abnormal difformity, thus was deminishing your resistance or "performance"... Actually we know that it`s far from true, and that actually many athletes are flat-footed. Myself I am, and I got to the point of the National junior ski team (but I am 5`7, too smal

As a former Montrealer who grew up with the Legend that is The Rocket, I was moved by the story and surprised to learn new things about the man and the time. It definately left me wanting more.

It was a canonating film

User review rating: 0 June 11, 2006

This is the best movie I have ever seen featuring a Canadian national hero. It was both entertaining and educational. It depicted the French Canadian reality of the 1940`s and 1950`s. My kids, who had only a passing knowledge of who "The Rocket" was, were enthralled. After seeing the movie, they both said " We have to buy this movie when it comes out on DVD, we want to watch it again and again." Magnificent!

I met a couple of times and had dinner with him and I found him a very quiet man I think he was shy with people. Henri ke is very friendly and likes to talk.

THe storyline was interesting and the plot was good but missed out on details about his brother, the "Pocket Rocket", which would`ve been interesting to the story as well.
