Rating: 4/5 --
The style of the film, lush and traditional, is nothing special, but the takeaway, a daily struggle for dignity, is impossibly moving.

Time Out
Robinson is played by Chadwick Boseman....The actor brings real force and dignity to the part, as well as a fierceness that will not be pushed around.

Rating: 1/5 --
I wanted to kick Ford/Rickey into next Christmas, and you can add the movie. Its corny triumphalism is barely bearable.

Financial Times
The story isn't much more than a hit parade of "Shut up, racist" moments -- Alan Tudyk's opposing manager just oozes with venomous talk -- but its blunt force is enough to get the job done.

42 manages to capture everything I know of Robinson and put it on the big screen so everyone can appreciate exactly what that number truly means.

3 stars out of 5 -- [W]ell-told...doing justice to Jackie Robinson...
Empire
Boseman and Ford are outstanding in their roles. Boseman captures Robinson's inner struggle, while Ford delivers his best performance in a while.

Product Description:
Brian Helgeland's historical sports drama/biopic 42 relates the historic 1947 baseball season in which Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) decides to sign the first black Major League player, Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman). Although Robinson faces ugly, vicious racism from other clubs, fans, and on occasion his own teammates, Rickey encourages him to not fight back. By following that advice, Robinson allows his remarkable athletic talent to speak for itself, and soon the first-year player becomes one the most popular players on the team, eventually securing the Rookie of the Year award. Christopher Meloni and Hamish Linklater co-star.
