4.0 out of 5 stars Not Primo, but good, March 6, 2010

This review is from: Carnera: The Walking Mountain (DVD)

Prior to watching the DVD, I had heard Carnera's name, but knew very little about him. An exchange in one scene mentions the possibility of a fight being fixed and in reading I've done since viewing the film there are frequent allegations of mafia involvement in many of his early fights. The title fight between Carnera and Max Baer is interesting for the fact that Primo was knocked down 11 times in 11 rounds before the fight was stopped. I suspect a great deal of embellishment for entertainment purposes, but the film maintained my interest and I would recommend it to any boxing fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair movie though not historically accurate, August 3, 2010

This review is from: Carnera: The Walking Mountain (DVD)

Just watched this film and while a good story, there were several historical inaccuracies, especially in the Stribling and Baer fights. The dialogue between the characters was a bit farfetched at times, though at the end of the film there was a disclaimer about fictional exchanges. For the boxing purist, this film doesn't begin to tell the full story of Primo Carnera.
