Review by jarrodmccay

Born a Champion

3/10

Fromage.

Cheese Factory. Was exactly what I was hoping it was not. It is clear that these high star reviews have been paid for. Either that or the people reviewing it are juvenile delinquents with no real appreciation for film. I am a long time MMA fan and this was very disappointing. Nothing wrong with the fight scenes really except that the wins seemed to come with no real effort, it was the music, the fact that they jumped right into the love interest which was not believable at all, the acting was passable, the cliches were abundant, all tied down by a rusky-voice narration with an over dramatized tone. I have too many bad things to say about this, but hey; If you are a young fight fan with no understanding of film, you may enjoy it. One thing I want to make clear; Directors please, can we please make an effort to create characters that are believable and likable, even if they are the bad guys. The 80's is over, it was fun, but it's over.
