Monster Brawl

This is a cult classic B movie that of course is a take on WWF but reviews to date have not pinned down the TEKKEN influence. If the announcer didn't say 'combo' and if that wasn't a big enough clue, the deep voice at the end for the winner ought to have given it away.

There's parodies and nods to Tarantino / Rodriguez movies in terms of video style and events.

This is a fan's movie. I would say that not only does the script have a lot of imagination, but the presenter's puns are actually very funny. As their lines span throughout the picture - one needs to give credit where its due, that's a fair amount of innuendo.

I will admit the acting isn't brilliant, but neither is the acting in great cult movies like 'Evil Dead'. The SFX are as good as your budget TV channel show - if not cheaper.

I think this movie is one to put on low, while you have a party, people will laugh at the pictures and wonder what channel you're viewing. I will agree that it doesn't really have a 'plot', but perhaps the banality and frivolousness of excessive violence is in itself a message. Like Romero used Zombies in the Return of the Living Dead to social comment our own repetitive zombie like behavior to fashion and consumerism as 'zombie-like'. One can then see how Romero's movie is parodied in Shaun of the Dead.

It's not the best horror movie on the market. In terms of referencing real life, cult movie and video game references plus well scripted comedy it does a VERY good job. Unless you know and can reference this movie I think a lot will be lost on the viewer. This explains the poor marks to date. Yes, the movie has bad acting, yes it can seem boring with no plot. But that is like critiquing WWF - Invasion for not having deeper characters. Look at the subject matter and tell me if the Rock or Hulk Hogan are complex characters. I think people will turn off WWF if the writers from BSG or Lost got writing for them.

Anyone who knows pop culture will see where I'm coming from.

Alright, well I figured this might actually prove to be a laugh, to see iconic movie monsters brawl it out against one another. Boy was I wrong!

This is without a doubt the most horrible "movie" I have had to suffer through in a long, long time. And I use the term "movie" here in quotation marks, because this was nothing more than just wrestling as you'd see on TV, except that the athletes were dressed up like monsters like it was some bizarre Halloween event.

There was absolutely no story to watch here, just senseless fights between the iconic monsters that most of us grew up with. And on top of that, the fights were not even great. And to top it off they had Lance Henriksen, which undoubtedly was the best part about the movie - having him narrate it with his characteristic voice, doing some really crappy Mortal Kombat rip-off comments at the fighting maneuvers.

The best parts about the movie, was as I just mentioned Lance Henriksen's narrating (minus the lame Mortal Kombat comments), because he does have a very unique voice. Plus, they actually managed to make the graveyard look rather cool.

No, oh God, please no, this was horrible beyond even my comprehension.

Just to throw more fuel to the fire, they had Jimmy Hart in this "movie" as well. Yeah, Jimmy Hart!

I am sure there is an audience out there somewhere for this kind of entertainment. I, however, was just not in that particular target audience. This was a waste of time and effort.

Ever wonder what monster movie stars would be the best professional wrestlers? Me either but here we are. Kevin Nash Jimmy hart and a cameo from rosemary from impact wrestling. 👏 it's a movie. Lmao.

Now I will first start off by saying if your not into wrestling then you will not like this movie. I'm a big wrestling Buff, I watch both WWE and TNA and use to watch ECW and WCW. So I'm the perfect person to appreciate this. It's not meant to be taken seriously, it's not a true horror movie or maybe it's not even a movie at all. But what it is is 90 minutes of hilarious clichés and Wrestling PPV style showmanship. It would almost be better as a real show than a movie. But for what it's worth it is really funny. It has it's ha ha moments and it's WTF moments. But if your into cheesy old school wrestling then you'd appreciate this movie. If your not into wrestling then don't even waste your time. You'll hate it. I hope they continue to make sequels. It has the potential to really create some good story lines.

This movie is straight up garbage from the get go. I thought the idea of monsters battling WWE style would be pretty damn entertaining and although there are plenty reviewers out there warning people not to watch this, i still gave it a try. Normally i give movies a full chance if i feel they have potential but i got out of this one early and i don't regret it. The monster make it up is pretty terrible for a movie that looks like it had a decent enough budget to do something better. I'm talking mainly about the cyclops characters whose one and only eye never moves and you can see the slits where the actor looks through the mask. If this was done intentionally for laughs then im sure it would have been more obvious but it seems they tried to go for subtly and failed. When you go into a movie for the monster effects and they fail with the first monster then its probably not worth continuing. PS. there is no storyline to this movie so i think the only people who will get a kick out of it are big time wrestling fans.
