Steve, bête de combat

Movie was enjoyable (Kaiju WWE with a innovative Salsa dancing fight technique), but animation was not top tier, especially with simplistic human designs and animation, and inferior fur :-(. Nevetheless, there were some funny pop references to LeBron/Cleveland and Creed/Rocky, among others :-)

I'll be honest here. I was slightly hyped up when i heard of Rumble in 2020. It felt like great concept. Obviously I didn't know anything about the plot, beyond it being your basic "zero to hero" stuff.

Well, the story of Rumble is... Not what i expected. I mean it still follows the formula of loser turning into champion, but.. Eh.

About animation: You can clearly see a great divide of "proper animation" made on main characters and their closest environment. Everything else feels REALLY cheap, on a thin budget. And that wouldn't be a bad thing, if movie wasn't zooming in on bad stuff as often as it did. For example big monsters you get to see. 2 of them are obvious copy-paste to save money. I mean.. Come on.. Characters are bland and average, but that's fine.

Comedic part, the jokes.. Are average and sparse at best. And that's fine.

What kind of annoyed me in the show was how movie suddenly lost its "realism" at certain point. Well "realism" is a big word here, but what i'm trying to say is that one moment you watch giant monsters beating each other, while in next a slapstick comedy of no consequence funny faces, silly grunts and poses... Just a farse. I mean kids would like it, but it was just lame to watch for me.

A 6/10 score sounds about right, maybe event tad too high. I hope Paramount will do 2 things in their future upcoming animated projects: Invest in MUCH better story/plot ans Invest in MUCH better animation.

It's fun. It's not a pixar masterpiece, it's not an emoji movie level disappointment. It's a fun time, it's a well made movie, and it has the creativity behind its monsters to boot. Didn't disappoint for me. Sure, it has some corny moments and some moments that do not make sense, but it's a fun time. Check it out, it could be for you.

I appreciate the fact that it didn't take itself too serious but instead went about it's business of simply entertaining. And it achieved that cos I laughed.

Believe me, I have a high sense of humor. Making me laugh isn't an easy feat.

So for it's efforts, I give it an Eight.

Its an underdog story about a monster whose father was greatest wrestler of all time and a coach whose father handled the greatest monster.. So, two underdogs pair up together and you know what happens next..

Shades of "Real Steel" and many other wrestling movies.. My 7 years old enjoyed the movie while I could predict what's going to happen next at least 15 mins in advance..

Watch it when you are bored..
