BREH that shyt was SO LEFT FIELD

Yea man they really took it there.....wifey is only a modern fan of wrestling so she was shocked. I was telling her stories of oldschool wrestling history and how dark shyt really was
Director/writer said movie was already a bit bleak, and Kevin okay'd the omission iirc.
Caught this on a flight earlier today. And yea, this was fantastic.
I had zero expectations going in, as '98-2003 were my "wrestling" years, but this movie kept me engaged from beginning to end. I ain't no shyt about the family so the turn it took and kept taking was wild.
I don't know (or really care) how accurate it was because the acting/storytelling was on point and those final scenes of the 3rd act... the mom painting, the brothers "reuniting", Efron's character with his sons... that's just GOAT-tier cinema. The director was in his bag.
My one nitpick is they time-jumped a bit too fast at times, i get why -to avoid pacing issues, but it didn't always feel as smooth, tho i could reconnect the dots easily enough.

Just watched this… kinda disappointed.
Acting was on point but like many of you said, pacing was off and didn’t “hit” me emotionally. Holding back in the storytelling cause the truth was too sad?
Why even make the movie then?
That Ric Flair was
should’ve had Jeremy Allen White play double duty or something. shyt they could've cast Jay Lethal with a blonde wig and I would’ve been happier than what they did
All in all, I much preferred the Dark Side of the Ring ep.

i knew most of the story already, but that shyt was sad as hell to see on screen. i'm glad that Kevin seemingly broke the curse.

Just watched. Part of the problem is knowing too much of the real life story going in and seeing just how much of the story was missed. This is one of those stories that legit could've been a multi-season TV show just because of how much happened in real life. I was hoping they'd be able to fit in Fitz telling Kevin he didn't have the courage to kill himself like his brothers did.Just watched this… kinda disappointed.

Solid for what it is. Had to fit too much story in so that emotional beats didn't have the proper time to be shown or to be felt.
Damn what a great movie. It’s a crime the guy who played Fritz and Efron didn’t get any award consideration.
Fritz was such a piece of shyt. I kind of thought they were overdoing it but from the little I’ve read he was even worse in real life. Great movie. Kerry getting his foot back and going over the river Styx thing at the end was maybe the best scene in years for me. Well done movie that’ll stick with me for a while

Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Saw this in the theaters on a whim and enjoyed it. This was before my wrestling watching days. I mainly watched early 90s and stopped watching around 92 ish maybe and didn't know about their story. They left out a lot and the timeliness were also not correct for several main events according to a doc on the movie I watched. Still a good flick.
