Memorable, crazy movie
Hayden Kane
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This year the grandest stage of them all (Wrestlemania) went to Houston, Texas where the most classic Wrestlemania in history took place. The opening match was the Money In The Bank Ladder Match which featured Mark Henry,Kane,Christian,CM Punk,Finlay,Shelton Benjamin and MVP, definitely one of the highlights of the night when CM Punk stepped out the winner for the 2nd time. The next match featuring Intercontinental Champion JBL and the No.1 Contender Rey Mysterio,before Mysterio could even warm up JBL leveled Mysterio with a giant boot. Everyone thought it was over, but it wasn't Mysterio got up hit the 619 and splashed JBL to pick up the 21 second win and his first Intercontinental title win. After the shocking victory JBL grabbed a mic. and said the shocking and rare words.......'I QUIT!!!!'.The next contest was an intense contest between former WWE champion Jeff Hardy and his brother and former ECW Champion Matt Hardy which started 3 months earlier at the Royal Rumble. The contest wasted little time in brutal violence as both men quickly took it to the EXTREME....with tables, ladders, chairs (OH MY) both brother punished each other until Matt Hardy hit a twist of fate with Jeff tangled in a steel chair to pick up the win. Next was the 3-on-1 handicap match between Y2J(Chris Jericho) and Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper and Ricky Steamboat, the match started with the legends ripping Y2J apart but Piper and Snuka were quickly eliminated for the match then it was Steamboats time to shine. As he hit a huge combination of moves involving a cross body, DDT, missile dropkick and several suplexes. Minutes later Y2J hit a codebreaker and picked up the win.The next contest was 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels looking to end the 16-0 streak of THE UNDERTAKER who at that time had never been able to beat Shawn Michaels one-on-one. Both men entered the ring and pushed each other to the limit Taker' powered out of several submissions and hit Michaels with several blows all over the body Michaels did whatever he could to avoid Taker' but nothing worked. The action intensified as Taker' leaped out of the ring onto his neck giving Michaels some momentum Taker' hit a last ride and a tombstone but Michaels shockingly kicked out,Taker' then caught Michaels in mid - air and hit a 2nd Tombstone for the win.The World title match a triple threat match featuring Edge, John Cena and THE BIG SHOW! All 3 men immediately took each other to the limit with everything in there arsenal but at the end Cena FU'ed both men at once to pick up a huge win and his 2nd World Heavyweight Title. The next and final contest featured a match 5 years in the making with 2 former friends and partners WWE Champion Triple H and the No.1 Contender Randy Orton in a completely personal rivalry. The match started unusually with Orton hitting the RKO and Triple H hitting the Pedigree, Triple H and Orton quickly took each other to the limit. Minutes later Triple H hit Orton with a punt and then a quick Pedigree to win and retain his WWE Championship.

'WrestleMania 25' is supposed to be a grand affair, a brand which has been the most prominent affair in the history of WWE. But sadly the event doesn't live up to its mark.... Minus HBK vs Undertaker, no other match makes you go wow!! WM 25 could've been the best event ever, but sadly it joins the league of events like 'Summer Slam', 'Royal Rumble' and 'Survivor Series', not WM. Things which left a mark: HBK vs Undertaker. The-duo once again proved that they are the true legends of WWE, delivering a fantastic match. Easily, The best WrestleMania in recent times. The Showstopper and The Deadman deserve a standing ovation for their contribution in WWE. Mickey Rourke's cameo was entertaining, knocking Y2J down. The disappointments: Everything else. The Money In The Bank match was plain mediocre. Y2J vs The Legends was good, not great. The match reminded me of RAW. Triple H vs Randy Orton was a yawn. The built up for the match was instigating, but the result was narrow. Santina winning miss WM was unintentionally funny. Jeff vs Matt was boring, ditto for the other matches.Being a hardcore fan of WWE since childhood, I expected a lot from WM 25, but sadly it didn't reach my expectation. HBK vs Undertaker, will surely be remembered as one of the greatest matches of WWE history. The performers didn't disappoint, the event did.

The Good: - HBK/Undertaker kicked ass. One of the best matches I've seen in a while. - The Legends vs Jericho thing wasn't a complete waste of time- Rourke actually showed, but more importantly it reminded the world of the talented Mr. Steamboat. Kudos to Jericho for keeping this thing alive, and WWE giving Jericho the much needed victory. - The World Title Triple Threat was decent and worthy- it lived right up to it's expectations. The Bad: - The Divas match set womankind back 500 years. - The Main Event sucked ass. It was incredibly boring and had one of the lamest endings ever. Orton was pretty much squashed for 25 minutes. It was the exact opposite of Rock/Austin 8 years ago in the same place. - CM Punk winning again is an idea that would've worked in any year but this one. - JBL deserved a greater retirement match. - The Hardyz bout, and the main event for that matter, could've used some more intensity and violence, WE WANT BLOOD! - Where hell was the tag match! - What happened to Swagger and the ECW title?This was probably the most average Wrestlemania of all time. The only real standout moment was Taker/Michaels. It didn't have the worst matches, and it definitely didn't have the best. Wrestlemania is supposed to shake the company up quite a bit, something this Wrestlemania completely failed to do. You could say it's because of WWE's significant loss of star power since the early 00's, but in all seriousness, the booking was just plain uninspired. I suggest taking out the money in the bank, because those stars each having their own piece of the show would've benefited it greatly.
Legend Killer
Can you say anti-climax?1) Money In The Bank Ladder Match A good opener. The thing that works against the MITB Ladder match is that there is only so many spots that you can do with a ladder. Over the last few years, Shelton Benjamin has done almost every interesting spot that a human being can do with a ladder. They are now struggling to out do the previous MITB Ladder matches. This however was a very credible ladder match, but probably the weakest (along with WM XXIII) of the MITB Ladder matches to date. Kofi Kingston probably emerged as the MITB show stealer, although Benjamin had the spot of the match with a crazy Swanton-type dive from the top of an insanely high ladder..... C+2) Diva Battle Royal A waste of time. The old Divas like Sunny & Molly didn't even get an entrance for the crowd to enjoy their return. To make things worse they had Santino win it. As funny as he is they need to start making him a credible wrestler (which he is capable of being) & not just a jobber who's good on the mic, which they are making him out to be...... F3) Chris Jericho vs The Legends Much better than I thought it would be. Dare I say that Ricky Steamboat nearly stole the show. What a performance by the Hall Of Famer. It was a match that didn't steal the show but certainly didn't disappoint. The spot with Mickey Rourke at the end was never going to be taken well if it was over the top, so maybe its subtle approach was appropriate..... C4) Jeff Hardy vs Matt Hardy Good match with some extreme, but not over the top spots. I worried that the spots in this match would be over top, but they did them just right. The ring psychology was good & it was good to see Matt win as that was the result needed if they plan to extend this feud (which I think they will). The Twist Of Fate on the chair was superbly done..... B-5) JBL vs Rey Misterio It would've been more spontaneous if they hadn't done the exact same thing last year with Kane & Chavo Guerrero. JBL as boring as he is in the ring, is a master of psychology on the microphone. The angle of JBL quitting was as important as the actual 21 second match so I'll take that into account when grading it..... D6) Undertaker vs Shawn Michael Well..... When I saw Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels, I thought that you will never see a better match where no weapons are used EVER again. Not just getting caught up in the hype because Wrestle Mania was only yesterday, but this just might be the best Wrestle Mania match that I have ever seen. As far as storyline goes it was built up very well. As far as in ring action goes, it was a privilege to watch. As far as ring psychology goes, it was a master class. As far as crowd reaction goes, that much crowd reaction hasn't been seen since Hogan vs The Rock. The WWE hasn't received a 5 Star rating for a match in Wrestling Observer for over a decade. If this doesn't get one then something is wrong. On a side note there was a spot where the Undertaker flew over the top rope & HBK moved out of the way sending Undertaker straight to the floor. Undertaker landed head first into the cameraman & a crunching noise was heard. I honestly thought for 5 seconds that The Undertaker had broken his neck & died live at Wrestle Mania..... A*7) Edge vs John Cena vs Big Show A match that never should've been a world title match at Wrestle Mania in the first place. It wasn't terrible though, but wasn't anything that we haven't seen before. Cena showcased his AMAZING strength by holding Big Show & Edge on his shoulders for a few seconds. This was closely followed by the 3 count that made him World Champion once again, which in turn made for a good finish to the match. Not as bad as a match with John Cena & Big Show could've been..... C8) Triple H vs Randy Orton Imagine if Stone Cold Steve Austin lost to Shawn Michaels at WM 14. Imagine if The Ultimate Warrior lost to Hulk Hogan at WM 6. Imagine if Chris Benoit didn't win at WM 20. They would've NEVER crossed over to that status that separates a transitional champion (Sergent Slaughter) from a dominant champion (Bret Hart). Orton who is without question the hottest thing in wrestling right now, was ready to take over like Triple H did at Wrestle Mania 2000. Randy Orton is in the the prime of his life at 28 & has a decade of dominance ahead of him. The only thing left for him to do was to defeat the man that he was destined to proceed as the No.1 bad guy in the world of wrestling at WM 25. Could Triple H get over himself for one second & do what was write for business? NO! He ruined Wrestle Mania 25 the same way that he ruined Wrestle Mania 18 by not letting The Rock & Hollywood Hogan be the main event. Orton will now have to start all over again rebuilding his character & we are destined to put up with Triple H until he breaks Ric Flair's record & finally steps down like he should've done at the end of the Attitude Era..... The Match was a C+, but the ending completely downgraded it to an FA lot rides on the main event of Wrestle Mania as that is what is remembered the most. The ending to this year's main event was the most disappointing in WWE history!Overall..... C
