Arena Wars

It's definitely one of the worst movies I've seen in my entire life.

The story is nonsensical and irrelevant, the acting is painfully amateurish. The main character, played by an actor who seemed to have zero acting ability, mumbles their way through every scene or engages in stupid fights with horrendous choreography. The supporting cast is ridiculous. The sound effects are bad and very annoying. The only reason why I watched this movie until the end is to see how bad it can get.

Don't be fooled by good reviews, they must be fake and/or posted by bots. Skip this movie, don't waste your time.

The 90s called and they want their plot back. It was definitely written by a bunch of incel writers with no respeect for women or good writing. It's an old story line, done better almost every other time it has been done. If all you care about is gore and boobs than maybe this movie is perfect for you. If not I would recommend watching something else. Do not waste your time with this one. I am shocked they got so many old semi famous actors involved in this project. I guess they weren't getting cast in anything else and needed the money. Watch it at your own wrisk. You have been warned. Take that as you like.

The most annoying thing about this is the audio, a lot of chat is sounded out by the music or the cheering crowd. Even when the background noise is softened the talking audio is still low so be prepared to put on the subtitles.

The whipping sound effects when a kick or punch is thrown are so over exaggerated that I think the sound department must have been hired right out of cartoon productions.

Even seasoned actors can't add any clout, if anything it shows their own weaknesses as actors.

Madsen in particular, who has been in some blockbuster movies absolutely stunk throughout this movie.

It's as bad as a bad 80s b movie.

Just watching the first few minutes, I see this as a poor man's Running Man.

The Stephen King story with 1987 version with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the upcoming 2025 version with Glenn Powell.

No where close to the orginal Running Man and trying to get out there before the next version.

The violence and language is somewhat expected, but, the acting is not believable, especially the announcing team that is hosting the Arena Wars.

I could not finish the movie as the announcing teams voices were not clear and the overall audio in the movie focused too much on bad music or the crowds reactions, which was shown way too much.

So, I gave it a 3 star only bad.for the actor's giving a good effort, but, the material to work with in this version was.

I watched the first 5 minutes and could hardly believe a movie could be so bad so immediately. I then gave it another 10 minutes. Let's just say I have regrets. Please save yourselves the mind melting wtf's of this movie.

Acting 0 stars Script 0 stars Direction 0 stars Sets 1 star for the set designers and builders who did their best on a budget of 30 nickels and a bucket of pi*s

Micheal Madsen and the guy playing the second host look almost like crypt keepers on deaths door.

Movies like this always baffle me at the thought of how many HORRIBLE actors are available to fill such a cast. Everyone else is phoning it in for their mini paycheck.

Many people will like the design of the killers but proceed at your own risk.
