Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Borserie
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
StyleSk8r
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Francene Odetta
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Shelton Benjamin vs. Kerwin White - Solid match but Shelton selling a knee a injury put limitations on this match Trish & Ashley vs. Victoria & Torrie The Hurricane & Rosey vs. Cade & Murdoch for the tag titles - I enjoyed this match. Hurricane took a couple bad shots.Big Show vs. Snitsky - For 2 big men their sizes, this was a great match.Edge vs. Matt Hardy in a Cage Match - This match was insane! Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Masters - I love HBK but every time I watch this I fall asleep midway through the match. The ending is good though.Ric Flair vs. Carlito for the Intercontinenal Championship John Cena vs. Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship - Decent match, better than the one they had @ No Way Out 2005.There were some funny backstage celebrating with Ric Flair. This was probably the last great ppv they had in 05.

1) Ric Flair vs. Carlito (for the intercontinental title). Flair fans will love this one, but I found it poor, relying more on the wrestlers' gimmicks than on the wrestling itself. I also can't see the point of giving the IC title to an old man instead of younger talent that needs to be pushed (not necessarily Carlito). *1/22) Trish and Ashley vs. Victoria and Torrie. When Trish or Victoria or both are in the ring, it's good (yes, Trish comes off better, but if you look closely it's obvious that she wouldn't have done anything without Victoria's help). Ashley, who is still training, takes a few bumps but also does some things that make no sense...Torrie, disappointingly, does next-to-nothing. **3) Big Show vs. Gene Snitsky. A surprisingly enjoyable match. Snitsky's strategy to focus on Big Show's right arm is a solid one, and Show's offense, although limited, is fun to watch. Say what you want about Snitsky, he's one of the few men who can stand next to the Big Show and look like they have a legitimate chance of winning. **1/24) Chavo Guerrero vs. Shelton Benjamin. Once you get past the lame "Kervin White" gimmick (which the commentators never do), this is a fast-paced match with good, complex moves by both wrestlers. **1/25) Edge vs. Matt Hardy (Steel Cage Match). An intense match-up, with some hits that look (and sound) as if they are connecting, and some great high spots. Better than I though it would be. *** 6) Cade and Murdoch vs. Hurricane and Rosey (for the tag-team title). H+R were an enjoyable team, but this filler match is hurt by obvious crowd indifference. ** 7) Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels. Disappointing match, Masters shows potential, HBK needs to cut down the overselling a bit. ** 8) John Cena vs. Kurt Angle (for the WWE title). Angle once again proves his versatility by combining a street-fighting style (to match with Cena's) with his unique (at least in the WWE today) freestyle ground wrestling. But the messy DQ ending draws boos from the crowd and spoils what could have been a great main event. ***Overall a pretty solid PPV, better than "Vengeance" in my opinion, though we COULD have done without the shot of Flair's butt.

After clips of the Angle/ Cena feud, Unforgiven 2005 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma starts. Match 1: Ric Flair Vs. Carlito for the International Championship. Overall a pretty lackluster match, but Flair won the belt so I guess that counts for something. 4 stars out of 10. The Nature Boy then goes into a speech and pulls some plants, excuse me um..real paying attendants *wink* out of the audience. Lita talks to Edge while messaging his neck. Match 2: Tori Wilson and Victoria Vs. Trish Stratus and Ashley. I hate hate HATE women's matches as they always suck balls. This one was no exception. Trish Stratus & Ashley won, but really no one wins when there's a woman in there wrestling if you know what I mean and I think you do. 1/10. In the best segment of the PPV thus far, Flair pulls out a bottle of Viagra, after he leads the 4 girls into his limo. WOOOOOO!!! an ad for WWe Raw moving to the USA network. Dusty Hill & Billy Gibbons are introduced in the audience. Match 3: Big Show Vs. Gene Snitsky. Show manhandles Snitsky for most of the match (Snit does get a few good moves in) and Show ends up winning, hitting him one last time post-match 3/10 An ad for Wrestlemania is shown. Back at Flair's limo steam is coming off it. (it was stupid, they should have quit the joke while it was funny). Clips of the Shawn Micheal/ Chris Masters feud. Match 4: Kerwin White vs Shelton Benjamin. Not a fan of Chavo's new gimmick, but not a fan of Shelton at all. But he won anyway 3/10. Matt Hardy is interviewed about his upcoming match. Scenes of the Matt/ Edge feud. Match 5: Edge Vs. Matt Hardy in a Cell match. A pretty good match (but lets face it anything half-decent would look good after the previous 4 matches of the PPV) I think I liked the Summerslam match better though. 7/10. Bishoff yells at Cena as Edge crawls up the ramp to backstage. Match 6: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch Vs.Hurricane and Rosey for the Tag Team championship belt. Slow, lame, and boring, but hey at least it wasn't a womens' match. Lance & Trevor, but who cares? 2/10 We're back at Flair's limo YET AGAIN (overkill) as a lady comes out wearing Nature Boy's robe. Chris Masters is interviewed briefly about his upcoming match. Match 7: Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels. I like Masters, I think he has potential that being said, i love HBK. They both give a pretty good match, nothing too flashy but solid enough. HBK wins. 8/10 Back to Flair AGAIN (PLEASE STOP). Another ad for Raw on USA. Clips of the Cena/Angle feud. Match 9: John Cena vs. Kurt Angle for the championship, which was alright, but judging by reaction to it was a tad overrated. Cena is still champ due to a disqualification on Angle 7/10. Unforgiven events have been pretty lackluster events in the last half decade or so and all in all this doesn't change that dubious streak.Overall Grade: C-

Unforgiven was just another passable PPV, some of the matches were crap.Results from the PPV:Ric Flair defeated Carlito to win his first Intercontinental Championship. Even though I'm not a fan of Flair, this has got to be better than having Calito as IC Champ.The Big Show pinned Snitsky in a good match.Matt Hardy pinned Edge in a fantastic cage match.Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch defeated The Hurricane and Rosey to win the WWE tag team titles. At last The Super Heroes have lost the titles!Trish Stratus and Ashley defeated Torrie Wilson and Victoria in a useless match.Shelton Benjamin pinned Chavo.... oh sorry Kerwin White in a fair match.Shawn Michaels pinned Chris Masters in a good match.Kurt Angle defeated WWE Champion John Cena via DQ.WWE could really need Triple H, Kane and Chris Jericho right now!Overall Grade - C+
