As Good As It Gets
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
First and foremost let me say this: this is not an MMA movie. This isn't really even a sports movie, per se. It is really a drama about a family and the relationships inside that family and the sport of mma just happens to be the backdrop that carries the story forward. I know a lot of people that didn't watch it because they don't like mma or even sports movies and I tell them exactly what I wrote above. I rated this a 10; and I only give movies a rating of 10 if they manage to move me emotionally - they have to move beyond just mere entertainment. This movie will make you cry and it will force you to reevaluate your own relationships with those around you. This is an an amazing movie, and amazing drama and it's disappointing how many people haven't and won't ever see it simply because they think it's a "mma movie."Seriously, watch this movie.
It starts off slow with a little mystery about who the characters are. As time goes on in the movie everything comes to light with all the characters. The problem I had with this movie is the ending lacked and left it up for the audience to decide what happened. All in all a good movie to watch after dinner but not a party centered movie
Hardy rocks. The movie is amazing. The soundtrack is perfect. One of the best fighting movies so far.
Thought it was a good film. The story was good, and the acting was great - Tom Hardy's great in everything. But this film was ruined by turning a fighting film into a soppy film where the underdog comes out on top, even though Tommy was the better fighter. Thought the ending was crap.
