Only went because my SO likes him. Saw him on tour without knowing a thing about him and knowing now that the Russian story was a big part of his act, the crowd at the show went wild when it came up. Now it's turned into a feature film.

Went at 1pm on Friday and we were the only two people in the theater. Maybe because it's rated R and my area isn't known for doing well with rated R movies or maybe because it's a 1pm show, but two people for a show doesn't bode well for its popularity.

Moving on to the movie... it was too long... way too long. Frankly I looked at my watch and it was only about 80 minutes in and it was already dragging. My SO laughed a lot and I had a chuckle here and there. If I were watching it alone I would have probably walked out and given it one star but because my SO was happy, it earned extra stars. I wouldn't recommend it and frankly seeing some of the reviews of people that love Bert say it wasn't good is somewhat sad.

Title says it all. Seems like the brunt of this show revolves around those 4, which is odd for a couple of reasons. First, there's a huge roster and in the 5 episodes at the time of this review, we haven't seen most of the roster other than the match vignettes. There are some wrestlers that talk behind the scenes but it's mostly these 4. Another reason why it's odd is because they are two couples where one is mostly universally liked and the other couple is despised. While this is supposed to be behind the scenes where, I'm assuming it's not supposed to be scripted like actual wrestling, it feels like a lot of it is. There are some parts where Tay comes off as a complete selfish person and it would be unfortunate for Sammy if that wasn't kayfabe. I get they're unlikeable but Sammy comes off as a nice guy away from the ring and tay is just... someone I imagine tay really being. Again, I hope that part is part of a script because Sammy is in for a world of hurt otherwise.

I've seen every episode of dynamite, bought every single ppv, and have been to shows so I do have some experience with this company. I just don't know if this is show is beneficial or detrimental to the overall aew lineage.

Let's be honest. Comic book movies are turning into cookie cutter movies. Bad guys defeated by good guys. It's getting harder and harder for marvel to make good movies with unique dialogue and interesting plots. I liked the first two ant man movies but this one was a dud. One or two memorable moments and an hour and a half of nonsense. The daughter grows up to be an annoying teenager that looks confused most of the time, almost like Bella from Twilight.

The multiverse just added a whole bunch of nonsensical things to the already watered down marvel franchise movies and this is just going to get worse. Unfortunately these movies basically print money so there's no reason for them to do anything unique anymore. Shame.
