Steve, bête de combat

When the movie starts, you see a TV commercial for Monster Wrestling mash-up with beautiful animation and some incredible drawings and artistic style! It's a great introduction.. but it seems like budget and creativity ran out right there.

Almost every line feels "too chatty" and forgettable, at times annoying and excessive. The animation and (human) models feel and look too generic, as if this was made in 2010. The story is too simplistic, and happenings coincidental. The progress rushed and the ending unearned. Personally, I consider this the worse kind of script, the one that feels underwritten with uncharismatic and barely developed characters. Worst of all, for a dance-centric plot, there's basically no music accompanying or elevating the matches. It would have been so easy to try and pump the audience with good sound mixing/editing and tune choices.

As it is, feels like a cheap product with no effort and love put into it.. though I can imagine it might be decent enough to watch with kids.

I don't really know what to say about this Paramount animated movie, other than saying the trailers didn't give me any hopes for it being good.

After watching I found it at least a bit better then what I thought it was going to be. It had pretty good animation, the voice acting was good, and it can be funny at times.

I did like Will Arnett as the main monster and found him funny when given funny lines to say, there were funny scenes and I did lightly laugh at them even if some of the jokes were bad.

The monster fighting was cool seeing and how the monster fights effect the people of the town. But even the entertaining parts don't save the whole movie.

The jokes and scenes are hit and miss and I couldn't see myself liking some characters when they are shown. But That's just what I think

I'm not going to say see it immediately, but I am going to say check it out when you have the free time.

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..

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.

Funny, Witty, Entertaining and Well done. There were a few things that they could of done without such as the tattoo dude in his underwear. There are a few instances of innuendo that kids won't get but is funny for the adults. This was really well done for the most part and has a pretty good message of being yourself and using what you enjoy to become great as well as making your own destiny rather than trying to live other's destinies. This does have gambling and the underground in it, it also has tattooing and tattoo removal in it regarding a super-fan in his underwear, so if that's a big deal for you then don't watch. However, this is a good and clean family movie that was well done. It was funny, cute, heartwarming and entertaining. This is wrestling at its finest without the language and other obscenities as with "Real" wrestling. It was a surprise that we all enjoyed.
