I watched it last night, and it was really good. a bit hard to watch at times, especially the scene in the wardrobe after the first match, and the broken relationship with his daughter. There are also some really good directional moves which draws parallells to wrestling stardom, and the reality of life. Mickey Rourke is nothing but fantastic in "The Wrestler", and has resurrected like his character in the film. His portrayal of a broken, beaten down soul is Oscar-worthy 9/10 |

9/10 from me too. It's beyond great. |

wow, i didn't even know of this movie. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Shouldn't this be in the Movies You've Seen thread? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
just got this, been meaning to watch it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

no, it's special. |

I didn't really enjoy watching it because it was filled with elements I try to avoid in everyday life, such as 80s metal, wrestling, trailer park dwellers, ugly men, trashy women with kids, and emotional girls with daddy issues. Nevertheless, it was a well made film, probably a 4/5, even though I didn't like it. |
||||||||

|
|
you try to avoid it because that's what you are, innit? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
excellent film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

|
I'm looking forward to seeing it, looks like the Jake the Snake portion from Beyond the Mat. Right down to the daughter thing. |
||||||||

Sounds like he's actually made a good movie! |
||||||||

pi and requiem are good the fountain lost me, tried it 3 times |
||||||||

Excellent performance from Mickey Rourke, but pretty average film overall. The second half of the film seems hurried, specifically the relationship with his daughter which almost seemed like an afterthought in the way and speed in that it was handled. |

Marisa Tomei is so hot in that movie ! It's cool that CZW is in it ! The hardcore match is against a real wrestler, just youtube CZW it's really over the top. |

Aronofsky is great. I even liked The Fountain, in fact adored its pulse and computer game aesthetics. I look forward to this one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved the fountain. i liked it more than pi actually. i just cant get over how he did the special effects in space. its all super microscopic photography of chemical reactions, not just cg crap, but actual photography. |
||||||||
|

|
|
rourke is set to play a super villain in iron man 2 |
||||||||
|
|

|
I'm looking forward to seeing this, actually! I have a love-hate relationship to this guy's movies, but mostly love. :) |
||||||||
|

fountain is brilliant, looking forward to this! |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

||||||||

|
kick ass on watmm young padme |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now i see what you mean.. i didn't like the film very much either. close to shit. but rourke did a good effort. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha, there is always one |

Not a bad movie. Didn't like the scripted dialogue though, nor the cinematography. The movie itself was pretty good, despite these problems. Reminded me, surprisingly enough, more of Kim Ki-Duk or Clint Eastwood than any of the previous Aronofskies. 8/10 |

8/10 saw it yesterday it just could have been better i like it because that whole american wrestling thing is pretty special. i can't really go into rourke because then i have to think about how the movie could have been better. the movie shows his life sucks, but the things they use to show that aren't too original: his daughter doesn't like him, he lives in a trailer park and stuff. i did like marisa tomei's part, it wasn't too original either but good nonetheless, i think. she made him say my favorite line of the movie: 'The only place I get hurt is out there.' special mention goes to the supermarket boss, 'no, your special' made me laugh. and the whole part was realistic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm a professional wrestler too, so i know what i'm talking about |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as a film it was ok. as an Aronofsky film, i was disappointed :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't believe its not nominated for best film this year, its better than any of the nominations |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
strange, i thought it was the best film he has made, his other films are good in parts but this one is the only one where he get it all right imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive always had a sensation of emptyness with aronofsky's films, lots of artifact, style experimentation, and even beauty, but like they lack something inside... i hope this one will be more introspective and calm and well etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree, and i guess it's the same with this movie. he does not know human emotion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh shit... i think ill go to watch it anyway, his films never left me unsatisfied after all... still good films |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, you'll like this. it's hardly a aronofsky film except for the fact just discussed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love the grittiness of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, it just doesn't feel like aronofsky, except for the typical soullessness and hollowness. wow, that sounds horrible... but it's still a pretty good movie. But no MTV-style editing or computer special effects?? It's just not an Aronofsky film. |
||||||||
|

Pitiful. |

Didn't you complain about Milk having it's own thread? "there is a thread 'rate the films you see' for film reviews" |
