I see in the CC news that Molly's Game was a box office success. I also see that there's some disagreement over whether it was "Really a Poker Movie."

I didn't watch it at the theatre so I'll be checking out the Blu-Ray copy instead. I don't expect Jessica Chastain to disappoint. Do I care if it has a lot of authentic poker in it? Nope, not at all.

it is a very good movie, not so much about poker but more on overcoming bad beats which makes it wonderful to watch

I thought the movie was terrible and unrealistic although rouders had unrealistic HU play. Stu Ungar Documentary I saw on youtube was not bad.

I was too young to remember how Rounders was marketed etc but I don't see this as a big surprise. Molly's game has a very strong cast and received big promotion. It is important to note that box office numbers are not a reflection of quality. I enjoyed both movies.

I'm looking forward to watching this movie. I don't think its going to lead to another poker boom but its cool to see one of my favorite hobbies being represented on the big screen.

What is a bit weird though (imo), how much more difficult is to to add in some authentic/realistic hands? Sure the folks who have no real clue about poker love to see the James Bond type of crap.. but who else does.

I too have not seen it yet, will probably wait for it to end up on HBO which I bet it will be by the end of the summer.
Looks interesting, might be decent.

I liked Rounders, good movie and very entertaining but I think the poker aspect was secondary. Did not see Molly's game but I will see it, heard it was good, will see it soon.

I will watch out for this thanks, the topic of bad beats sounds good. Also I don't think rounders was a true reflection of poker reality. Could have been better

Won't see the movie, Hollywood distorts reality.

Just saw Molly game and wasn't impressed. Neither this movie or Rounders were actually poker movies but still Rounders was a better movie.

I really like rounders, so I will probably see Molly's game. A lot of good reviews here so it must be ok.

Thread: ‘Molly’s Game’

I watched the movie (in good quality HD), which I can say - the movie is great, you can see! Jeessica Chestane played 5 points out of 5. The figure of her course .... BOMB! But this is not the main thing that attracts the film itself. In it, and the plot and intrigue kept to the very end of the film! In general, if anyone has the opportunity, do not pass by this film!

Molly's game is not about poker. It's about a very smart hustler women who sets up one of the highest cash game in the world which regularly included celebs like Di Caprio, Spiderman (Parker something), Clooney etc.

Rounders is a movie actually about poker and although it is outdated it's still an absolute classic and all time favorite of mine.

I really hope they make Rounders 2 with like online poker and Mike finally making it to the wsop main event.
