Told through the voice of former KGB agent Viktor Petrovich, whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan's when Reagan first caught the Soviets’ attention as an actor in Hollywood, Reagan overcomes the odds to become the 40th president of the United States.

17% Critics Score and 98% Audience Score.... wait, let's revise that. 17% Left Wing Politics Score and 98% Audience Score and keep in mind that it's "Review Bombing" if the audiance doesn't have the proper left wing opinion about entertainment. Because, you know, everything has t be political. It doesn't deserve that 17% Critics score, it's FAR better than that. Dennis Quaid likes doing the role, you can tell, and he does a great job with it, even trading in the smile that my wife love for Reagan's closed mouth grin. Jon Voight does a fairly good job but you get the sense that he's throwing himself more into the accent than the role itself, and it is fun to see Ronald Reagan narrated by a Russian... or Jon Voight with a Russian accent. And that narration is where the problem is, but I'll get to it in a bit. It's nice to see Penelope Ann Miller in a big role again, well it's nice for me, I always thought she was criminally under-rated and legitimately deserved more of the spotlight than she's had. The story is well done, it's well acted, and the CGI de-aging isn't as annoying as seeing Robert Deniro as a young man doing an old man's walk. HOWEVER, it also doesn't deserve the 98% from the audience either. Well, it does, if you are a fan of Reagan, but if you're a fan of movies..... more like 75%. Look at all the positives and then look at all the negatives... there really aren't any. And that is why I tend to just hate biops. They are either hit pieces which are dramatic, but insulting to the intelligence, or they are the greatest hits. And that is where you lose the 98% and it is more a 75%. The critics panned it for politics, this is true, but despite it being well done, without the balance of good and evil for the protagonist it feels like a nostalgia piece, and the reality is that the good old days weren't always good. It's a good movie, but it lacks a balance to be a dramatic movie. J. Edgar did a good job of that, doing the balance, even Nixon showed more balance than you would expect from Stone, and was the better for it. W was the same. although less so. Reagan didn't hit that mark. It's a fun and an entertaining movie, but one that ultimately lacks a balance in the character. And I think, honestly, that is more from the narration, and how the biop leans into it, robbing Reagan of real character.

Reagan is a biopic that attempts to portray the life and legacy of Ronald Reagan, featuring Dennis Quaid in the titular role. My experience watching the film was a mix of nostalgia and critique, as it covers Reagan's journey from his early years to his presidency, all narrated by Jon Voight a retired KGB agent. Quaid's performance is commendable; he captures Reagan's charm and mannerisms effectively. The film highlights key moments, such as his near-assassination and his relationship with Nancy Reagan, which added emotional depth. However, I found the film's pacing slow and its 135-minute runtime excessive, making it feel drawn out at times. Critically, the film has faced backlash for its overly glorified portrayal of Reagan, often glossing over significant controversies like the Iran-Contra scandal. While I appreciated the nostalgic elements and the depiction of California's landscapes, I felt the movie lacked a balanced perspective on Reagan's presidency. Overall, Reagan offers an engaging look at a complex figure but falls short of delivering a comprehensive narrative. For those familiar with his era, it provides a sentimental journey, but it may leave others wanting more depth and accuracy.

Recently, I had the opportunity to watch the movie "Reagan," a captivating biography centered around the life of former President Ronald Reagan. Dennis Quaid takes on the role of the iconic president, portraying a two-hour love story dedicated to the American people. The film delves deep into Reagan's entire life, beginning from his childhood with poignant flashbacks that reveal his struggles with bullying and his mother's unwavering determination for him to stand up for himself. From his days as a movie actor to dealing with a failed marriage and the loss of a child at birth, Reagan's story unfolds with a strong focus on his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The narrative follows Reagan's journey as he rises from governor to senator and eventually becomes the President of the United States. Throughout his political career, Reagan remains steadfast in his faith, never wavering even in the face of challenges such as his mother's passing and meeting his wife, Nancy. The movie beautifully portrays Nancy Reagan as an incredible and loving woman, showcasing her unwavering support for her husband and her compassion towards everyone she encounters. The focus remains on Reagan's story, omitting the extensive details of Nancy's tenure as the First Lady. Despite some critics' harsh reviews, the film's well-written script and engaging pace make for an immersive viewing experience. It effectively captures Reagan's struggles during his presidency, including the threat of impeachment, alongside his significant achievements such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and collaborations with world leaders like Margaret Thatcher. While some may find fault in Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Reagan, feeling that he falls short of capturing the essence of the former president, the film's strong writing compensates for any casting missteps. The actress portraying Nancy Reagan, on the other hand, delivers a standout performance that adds depth to the scenes involving Reagan. The movie tastefully acknowledges other prominent political figures like Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George H.W. Bush, without overshadowing Reagan's narrative. It successfully presents Reagan's historical significance without delving into unnecessary controversies or distractions. Additionally, the film delves into the poignant aspect of Ronald Reagan's battle with Alzheimer's disease, shedding light on the challenges this illness poses to individuals and their families. It portrays the emotional toll it takes on President Reagan and his loved ones, highlighting the profound impact of the disease on his later years. Through this portrayal, the movie offers a glimpse into the personal struggles faced by Reagan as he navigated the complexities of Alzheimer's, adding a touching and humanizing layer to his remarkable life story. Overall, "Reagan" offers a breathtaking portrayal of a historical figure, allowing the audience to connect with Reagan's journey without being bogged down by excessive political intricacies. It serves as a compelling tribute to the enduring legacy of former President Ronald Reagan. #MovieReview #RonaldReagan #ReaganMovie #ReaganFilm #PresidentRegan #PresidentRonaldReagan #PresidentoftheUnitedStates
