   Is '42' a good movie?

   • But this is more a ground-rule double than a grand slam. As written and directed by Brian Helgeland, “42” is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful — but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It’s a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man.

   Could 42 have been more like 61*?

   • Had the deity’s nose been tweaked, 42 could have been more like “ 61* ,” the Billy Crystal homage film about Roger Maris and the 1961 home run chase: True to life, but a lot of fun with more drama and more human interest. I have been a movie fan for most of my life and a film critic since 1986 (my first published review was for "Platoon").

   Is the Jackie Robinson of '42' a good movie?

   • The Jackie Robinson of “42” is a high school history lesson, lacking in complexity and nuance. Even the domestic scenes with the beautiful Nicole Beharie as Rachel Robinson paint an almost too-perfect picture.

   Is '42' a Hall of Fame movie?

   • From the soundtrack to the speechifying to the subject material to the script’s somber tone, “42” has the uniform of an Oscar contender, but it falls short of Hall of Fame status. Jackie Robinson was great. “42” is good.

   How long is '42'?

   • 42 runs about 128 minutes (although at times it seems to go on a lot longer), and contains more than enough examples of blatant race-baiting that seems strangely foreign to today’s viewers, but were very real at the time.

   Is Rachel Robinson a hero in '42'?

   • The real Rachel Robinson was also a hero, but in “42,” she’s portrayed as a near-saint, patiently counseling Jackie to hold his temper, and looking like a movie star as she quietly endures the morons in the stands behind her.
