Rating: 4/5 --
In his most challenging role to date, Boseman's Robinson is suitably charismatic and earnest, giving us a human portrayal of an icon that's easy to get behind.

3 stars out of 5 -- [W]ell-told...doing justice to Jackie Robinson...
Empire
3 stars out of 4 -- [A] stirring, straightforward and ultimately soaring portrayal of Robinson’s historic entry into Major League Baseball in 1947.
Washington Post
3 stars out of 4 -- John C. McGinley delivers a gem of a performance as the great announcer Red Barber, and Andre Holland is solid as Wendell Smith...
Chicago Sun-Times
So 66 years after Robinson became the first black major league baseball player, here we are with 42, which has been made with such reverence for Robinson's importance that Robinson is barely there.

[The movie] picks a winner in Chadwick Boseman....Boseman shrewdly eases into the role.

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.
