Negative Review of Mr. 3000

In September of 2004, a movie is brought to the world that brings nothing to the table. “Mr. 3000” is a tale of a baseball player, Stan Ross, who is a cocky athlete. Retiring after setting his MLB record of 3000 hits, Stan Ross does nothing but role in his success. Loving life being known as Mr. 3000, Stan Ross does everything to make people dislike him. Upon review by MLB statistics holder it is discovered that Stan Ross- Mr. 3000- is actually Mr. 2997. It is found that 3 of Stan Ross’ hits shouldn’t have counted. Stan Ross is stripped of his batting record. When Stan Ross figured out that he is not the man he has bathed in his past retired years, he is furious. He makes the decision to go back to the MLB to try and get his record back. Stan Ross obviously cares nothing about the sport of baseball. He displays his selfishness by the way he plays baseball. When he gets back into the MLB he puts himself before his team, “He’s putting the “I” back in team,” as a teammate of Stan Ross’ jokes. Director Charles Stone III is clearly trying to humorously harass cocky athletes. This is obvious when reviewing the plot of the movie. Charles Stone III reveals the true character of Stan Ross by removing his swagger. He is a fool when he has no record to show. The theme is there but I don’t think it is a good one. The way the baseball scenes are put together it ruins the movie. It is impossible for the event of a record to be retracted from a player. Baseball has so many more opportunities to better put this theme to. I do not like the movie “Mr. 3000” it is worthless. The concept viewers are supposed to uncover is already known by civilized people.
