Arena Wars

Anyone giving this a 3+ is obviously a bot/paid/trolling this is not a movie, its so bad its like a classroom skit the entire set is literally the size of your living room if that the only redeeming quality is that they hired a semi-good looking protagonist, but just because he looks fit, he still sucks at acting.

Script - 1 pacing - 1 concept - 2 whoever wrote the dialogue - 0 i can't even follow the story uh whoever balanced out the audio - -10, dude, you CAN'T HEAR the people speaking... 100% sure that the movie is directed by some college kids this is so bad, please just save your 90 minutes of your life..

Just watching the first few minutes, I see this as a poor man's Running Man.

The Stephen King story with 1987 version with Arnold Schwarzenegger and the upcoming 2025 version with Glenn Powell.

No where close to the orginal Running Man and trying to get out there before the next version.

The violence and language is somewhat expected, but, the acting is not believable, especially the announcing team that is hosting the Arena Wars.

I could not finish the movie as the announcing teams voices were not clear and the overall audio in the movie focused too much on bad music or the crowds reactions, which was shown way too much.

So, I gave it a 3 star only bad.for the actor's giving a good effort, but, the material to work with in this version was.

I watched the first 5 minutes and could hardly believe a movie could be so bad so immediately. I then gave it another 10 minutes. Let's just say I have regrets. Please save yourselves the mind melting wtf's of this movie.

Acting 0 stars Script 0 stars Direction 0 stars Sets 1 star for the set designers and builders who did their best on a budget of 30 nickels and a bucket of pi*s

Micheal Madsen and the guy playing the second host look almost like crypt keepers on deaths door.

Movies like this always baffle me at the thought of how many HORRIBLE actors are available to fill such a cast. Everyone else is phoning it in for their mini paycheck.

Many people will like the design of the killers but proceed at your own risk.

The most annoying thing about this is the audio, a lot of chat is sounded out by the music or the cheering crowd. Even when the background noise is softened the talking audio is still low so be prepared to put on the subtitles.

The whipping sound effects when a kick or punch is thrown are so over exaggerated that I think the sound department must have been hired right out of cartoon productions.

Even seasoned actors can't add any clout, if anything it shows their own weaknesses as actors.

Madsen in particular, who has been in some blockbuster movies absolutely stunk throughout this movie.

It's as bad as a bad 80s b movie.

The 90s called and they want their plot back. It was definitely written by a bunch of incel writers with no respeect for women or good writing. It's an old story line, done better almost every other time it has been done. If all you care about is gore and boobs than maybe this movie is perfect for you. If not I would recommend watching something else. Do not waste your time with this one. I am shocked they got so many old semi famous actors involved in this project. I guess they weren't getting cast in anything else and needed the money. Watch it at your own wrisk. You have been warned. Take that as you like.
