The Fighter has better dialogue but Warrior has a greater emotional punch and left more of an impact on me.

it was really emotional.

Warrior hits harder and makes you feel more.

Not hard, warrior was absolute s hit

Really? I thought the ending was cheesy, and I liked the movie, overall.
Still, I find The Fighter more engaging.

reply

Both good films featuring good acting and similar themes, but I'd give it to "The Fighter", because it's based more on real events.

I did find it hard in Warrior to believe the high school teacher was so poor he had to go to fight to make ends meet whilst possibly getting injured requiring further medical costs.

I would have given 'The Fighter' a medicro rating just like what i gave 'The warrior'(a 6/10),if it hadn't been Christian Bale's mesmerizing performance...
Amy Adams and Melissa Leo also performed very well and i think its what elevates the movie from mediocrity.

I just came on this board to see if anyone made this thread. I just rewatched The Fighter on tv and its so much better than Warrior IMO. It's boggling that Warrior has an 8.2 and this only a 7.9
