I was waiting for this movie to be released for as long as it has been announced, and now that the wait is finally over - it's definitely disappointing.

Clearly something must have happened to the original execution of this movie. It was quietly delayed for years and was released on streaming just as quietly. It's certainly no "Raid", it's more like a tired Jason Statham type movie. Some of the things in it are plain bizzare, such as the setting. This feels like Gotham or some alternative version of RoboCop's Detroit. The CGI is awful, it's so weird it us even present here in such copious amounts considering what the director is known for. The story is simple, yet indescribably odd. The lighting is also a weak point of this movie. The casting is superb and some of the fights are fine, but again, coming from Gareth Evans it's a bare minimum of what you'd expect. This isn't a terrible movie by any stretch and you can enjoy it for what it turned out to be, but you have to keep your expectations surprisingly low.

The highlight of the movie is probably the club fight with Gesaffelstein blasting, but that's as good as it gets. Overall, pretty passable.

It's a nothingburger, really. I started watching WWE in 2008, I never rewatched anything prior to that apart from some youtube videos, and even I haven't found anything new in this series. The talking heads selected for this barely got a chance to tell anything of note, even though they are involved in the business more than some people selected for, say, dark side of the ring. I can't imagine how anyone that's not a fan would be interested in watching this, and even casual fans would probably not find anything interesting in this. The production value is okay. Perhaps this can serve as a retelling of a certain period in history of wrestling years and years in the future, but currently I don't see a point in watching this, let alone with its current length. If you're a fan, just listen to Cornette's stories about Vince instead.

Exactly, don't trust the negative reviews, they're from some yokels who don't understand anything about a good story or outright lie/ haven't watched this (like the guy who claims there's nothing supernatural here). Neat little movie that stays with you. No Hollywood shenanigans, a good plot and creepy mood.
