Arena Wars

Let's not forget the director is also the writer of this atrocious piece of film making, take away the fact the actors (even veterans) are made to look like they are amatuers in a community drama class, the director has the clear inability to film dialogue shots, made to look like a poor 90's, straight to dvd budget film, in our era...even budget films can still reach high levels if the writing & directing is on point.

Briefly moving back to the dialogue and the script, it's looks like it's been written by a frat boy, it's excruciatingly bad, the sort of words used by a teen imagining they're a super hero.

This quite easily takes the prize for the worst movie of the last 10 years, it's not even funny bad...its simple just bad.

Well, certainly the worst movie i watched in 2025. Unknown actors delivering incredibly horrible performances, Michael Madsen appears to be already dead, the main character is pathetic, the plot has nothing original, it is confusing and boring. I insisted after about 10 minutes to check if the conclusion would be something other than i was expecting, but no. The same garbage you already watched at least a dozen times.

Must remember not watching anything made by the responsibles for this crap.

I watch a lot of B grade movies and I never write reviews but this was something else.

It's not even fun bad, it's just bad.

Don't waste your time. This entire thing was filmed in one room. Sure the sets change but it's all small sets. The acting is shockingly bad. There isn't even one character you want to get behind.

The main guy tries to be a generic marine but is hard to believe.

The audience watching the arena wars always have the same clothes even though there are days apart at times.

Almost every shot is close ups so they don't have to reveal the lack of sets and how small they are.

Please don't watch it whatever you do.

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 shows premise is a direct rip off of Schwarzenegger's 1987 film, "The Running Man" except it doesn't have the amazing Arnold Schwarzenegger. Many characters are direct derivatives from that show, and they are poorly portrayed by unknown "actors" and "actresses". Ultimately the storyline is mundane and incredibly predictable. Acting by any of the main characters is poor at best, and Michael Madsen needed more sarcastic screen time, which he doesn't get. The set must have cost less than the arena for American Gladiators, and the action sequences were choreographed by a 12 year old boy. Skip it.
