Nitro Circus: The Movie

Everyone in my office agrees that Nitro Circus: The Movie was definitely no Jackass, but I had fun with it none the less. I think it would have been a bit more successful if they had put a few more of the familiar gross out Jokes in or perhaps designed a couple of stunts to go wrong on purpose, but this movie is good in it's own right. The stunts performed are truly dangerous and the few bloopers that do get to see are sure to excite sum laughter. I didn't watch the 3D version in theaters since they're always so packed, but since I rented it from Blockbuster at Home through DISH I beat the crowd and it was waiting for me when I got off work.

I thought it was good. If your sat at home like a lazy fluff,Then you will feel like a pizza after.

This is the first time I have given a film a 10! OK, it's not an adaptation of a Steven King novel, or a special effects laden Sci-Fi epic, what it is, is a group of friends living the dream.

Each 'character' is introduced in a witty and entertaining way, followed by insane stunts. Nitro Circus doesn't have the same cringe factor as Jackass and there's less of the mundane nut shots and basic jerking off that Jackass has, which makes it more appealing to Extreme sports enthusiasts as well as the general public who have grown weary of the Jackass boys trying to out do themselves.

The story is a journey to the live show in Las Vegas, which is explained well enough to keep the viewer entertained and involves 'us' in the excitement and anticipation of the climax of the film.

As mentioned in the title, this is the first film I have given a 10/10, I understand that if you're not into X Games or extreme sports this film may not appeal, but then, it might open your eyes to what some people are prepared to do for your entertainment as well as giving them the adrenalin rush some of 'us' need to live.

My advice is to turn out the lights, grab a few cold beers and enjoy the lunacy.

I have to say that I was somewhat intrigued when I first came across this docu-movie. I had mixed thoughts to begin with before I watched it - to be honest extreme sports and stunts have never really been my thing. But I thought - you know, why not - looks interesting.

I absolutely loved it! It gives a good story of the crew, including their past, and has a lot of gob-smacking moments - stunts which will make you laugh, cringe, and admire. From start to finish it was thoroughly enjoyable, even if you aren't in to extreme sports to begin with.

Before I came across this I never even knew who Nitro Circus was, or what they did. Now I know what they do, and how they do it. I simply have one word to describe them... Awesome.

Definitely worth a watch - you won't be bored or disappointed. That's a promise! - Just keep an open mind. My only negative was that I never watched it in 3D to begin with. I wish I had have done, and if you can, maybe you should too. You might even enjoy it more than I did.

Spotted this on Netflix and as a fan of Jackass back in the day I thought id enjoy this. I was wrong. none of the members have any charisma, the stunts have all been done before but better and I just wanted everyone to get off the screen as soon as they started speaking especially the guy called Tommy. Their motor vehicle tricks I"ll admit are good but it wasnt enough to stop me turning this off around the 40 minute mark. Historians will look back on this as a sign that it was the start of the decline in America.
