The film follows the life of one of the best hockey players ever, but it portrays the Montreal Canadian as a bitter, frail man who kind of hates NHL hockey. The movie wasn't that bad just Richard wasn't an appealing character. It is good era picture that shows how rough hockey was played in the 50s.
Richard was constantly fighting through injuries and discrimination. His injuries get old quick, he is battling injuries the whole movie. It's just like watching your favorite players who are injury prone, it's frustrating. The discrimination factor was interesting, not many people talk about the NHL's distain for French-Canadians.
The film only shows three of his Richard's eight Stanley Cup victories, which was a huge mistake.
Rating: CThere isn't enough glory in this legend.
