    Enjoyable

    Movie starts with a bit tacky fight and the commentators calling it 'one of the greats' but if commentators are known for one thing, that is to exaggerate or over-amplify situations or events. We are introduced to the protagonist Reiss Gibbons, he's a successful MMA wrestler and has a undefeated streaks with 5 championships. When Company promoter Max Black pits him against a pro wrestling superstar Randy Orton.... ohh Stone in the company's first ever cross-promotional event, he's reluctant at first but after seeing how confident and 'a clown' Randy is, he decided to fight him since it's going to make him easy money. Much to his surprise, when he's beaten black and blue by Randy and lose the championship. The media ridicule him and turn him to a 'meme'. Seeing that, he insisted on a rematch so that he could regain his championship and dignity back but is denied. Heartbroken, he ditches his team and flies to LA. After training there, he returns and fight Nightmare but his head isnn't in the game and is beaten again. He altogether quit wrestling. He goes brooding, and sulking until he finally gets an opportunity to fight Randy again, well from there the ending is pretty clear.

    This movie is an ultimate underdog story that we've already seen in plenty other movies. The execution is not given any special treatment here but it's quite straightforward and entertaining. I think the highlight of the movie is the build-up to the first match, what I like about it, is that they make it seems as if it's a real-life match with interviews and video call form various legends across both WWE ohhh AEW and MMA. The match itself is tense and quite thrilling. Sadly, after the first match everything slows down and the plot goes the predicable zone. I enjoyed the performances most especially Jonathan Good as Randy Stone, he's over-the-top and overconfident and is somewhat hilarious in the way that he behaves. Alex montagnani as the titular character is Ok, but not memorable. Gina Gersam is a scene stealer, I loved every scene that she's featured in. The rest of the supporting casts provide good support. The camera work is slick, I particularly like the POV shots that shows how Reiss is feeling during the fights. The soundtrack is good and adds more energy to the scenes.

    On the whole, Cagefigher is an enjoyable flick, it may not be original in terms story but it's overly entertaining, and that's what matters usually in these type of flicks.

    Warning! Extremely boring movie.

    I guess this movie might be OK to watch if you're friends with any of the actors and you watch it as a "Fun thing" whilst getting hammered on beer and weed.

    It was truly a rather boring and predictable movie, and the animations used in the fight scenes were just straight awful, like wtf.

    Thank you for reading this banger of a review.

    Reviews as silly as the movie!

    This movie was just laughably bad. The only thing less realistic are the reviews giving it 10 stars. In fact, the three stars I gave it were generous. It is boring. It is a poor man's Rocky. The acting of Chuck and Luke was better than everybody but Gina. Well, actually Moxley played a good pro wrestler. Go figure. Absolutely nothing original.

    A TKO That'll Make You Laugh and Cringe

    Are you ready to witness the cheese-fest that is "Cagefighter: Worlds Collide"? Prepare to have your cheese scale shattered as this MMA flick delivers a hilarious, cringe-worthy, yet undeniably entertaining experience.

    The film follows the story of Reiss Gibbons (Alex Montagnani), a street fighter with dreams of making it big in the MMA world and winning the approval of his estranged father (Chuck Liddell). Sound familiar? That's because this movie embraces every cliche in the sports genre with open arms, cranking up the cheesiness to new heights.

    Alex Montagnani's performance is impressive, blending martial arts skills with just the right amount of cheese to make his character likable. Chuck Liddell may not be the next Daniel Day-Lewis, but he adds authenticity to the MMA world, making you almost forget the abundant cheese.

    What elevates "Cagefighter" to must-watch status is its commitment to cheesy dialogue and over-the-top training montages. The script is so corny that it becomes a comedy of errors, resulting in a delightful cheese-nado of unintentional laughs.

    This movie is the perfect choice for anyone who loves their sports movies with extra cheese. So grab your favorite cheesy snacks, prepare your best one-liners, and get ready for a night of cringing, laughing, and cheering as you enter a world where cheese reigns supreme. Who knows, you might just find yourself rooting for the underdog and craving a grilled cheese sandwich by the end!

    A very conventional film.

    The movie follows the path of the usual underdog story. The green screen effects seem very off often. The movie does not not make any new innovations in "the underdog plot" causing it to become very stale and predictable. The only person in this movie who is entertaining is Jonathan Good who acts with a lot of conviction. The fight scenes however are also a big plus as they are very well choreographed. Overall, an inoffensive film with a pro-wrestler as it's best actor (no wonder).
