finally watched the wrestler this weekend and...

[thascary1]

I dont get the hype!!!!

It was an ok movie at best to me. The wrestling portions were not that great, the whole interactions of him and marisa tomei were very bland. The best acting was done by even rachel wood, and that was what less than 10 minutes of acting for her.

I liked the premise and was really excited to finally see the movie, but as it kept going on I just felt like....really...that was the movie?

Out of 10 stars I would give it about 6.5 7, but nothing near the hype it got.


Maybe I missed something, if you loved the movie please share why.

yeah, I think your review sucks. Great film.

 

[Premo]

the acting is what really sold the movie for me , the shit between him and his daughter is so sad .

I agree best part of movie, but she stole the show in thier scenes together.

 

[Nebulizah]

I liked it. Then again I like all of Aronofsky's work, and I like Mickey Rourke as an actor, so...

I think it's one of if not Rourke's best acting performance.

I don't think it's Aronofsky's best film, tho.. If I had to rate them it'd go

Requiem for a Dream > The Wrestler = Pi > The Fountain

Geekballs!

 

[Simpaticone1]

Was a weird movie.... Me no like !

I felt bad for the guy

 

[TheVille31]

i thought it was good

 

[AKAZIE]

Marisa naked....bottom line.

 

[Mars]

The movie wasnt all that for me, but mostly because I'm friends with wrestlers on TV and that shit is really how it is. Nothing glamourous.

 

[Dana Dane]

I think the true meaning of the movie went over my head, too.

I just didn't get it!

thats cool u meet em when they in the same town where you do your shows at? who else are u friends with?

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

There was nothing really to get. It was a character study about a broken man still living in his past and trying to fit into his and his daughter's life. Nothing more than that.

 

[Dana Dane]

The ending confused the hell out of me. Did he die?

 

[Fucky McFuckerson]

We dont know. It was left open for a reason.

 

[thascary1]

The ending confused the hell out of me. Did he die?

i took it that he died, but since I took it that way I didnt like it because they could have went further and showed alot of people at a wake or something showing how he misinterpretted that he had noone in life.

and if it was meant to be he lived well ok did he get with marisa tomei, did he tell his daughter or leave her alone like she said???


maybe it was the ending that threw it off for me now that I write this.

 

[Dana Dane]

Seriously. I hate endings where you really don't know what happened. Pisses me off.

 

[AKAZIE]

I think the whole ending was fuck the world im a wrestler till end. He had nothing else going for him.

 

[ColdBlooded]

I thought the end was perfect for the movie.
