Good movie. Touching, emotional, and great performances. Not really too Oscar worthy and they left the ending strangely open. |

This movie was ok, but never got me on the edge of my seat. It had some good parts, but overall is an over-hyped up oscar flick. |

Not quite as good as everyone is making it out to be. But, still pretty damn good. Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood always play in good movies. So, it's well worth watching. |

The Wrestler (2008) |
|
Stunning performances are the highlight of this thoughtful, if hardly groundbreaking, character study. A lot of the film's success hangs on the audience's appreciation of the fake artistry of wrestling but, that said, it is a good film if not the mind-blower we expected from the director of Pi and Requiem For A Dream. Surprisingly, reminded me a lot of the film I saw the day before: Anvil! The Story of Anvil. Try a double-bill for yourself. |

The Wrestler, a Mr. E Movie Review
(Run time: 109 min. - Directed by: Darren Aronofsky - Starring: Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei)
The dramatic masterpiece The Wrestler has been called Mickey Rourke's comeback role. I say he just wasn't offered a role like this earlier. I mean this guy can act! He's raw, real, and charasmatic and The Wrestler is an awesome journey.
When wrestling superstar Randy "The Ram's" life starts it's decent 20 years after his prime, everything seems to crumble. He has a choice, he can either roll over and die, start a new humble journey, or just accept things the way they are and go out with a bang. Everything seems to be against him. His body is breaking down, he's broke, his daughter hates him, and his only friend outside of the ring is an aging, yet still... |

Fascinating |
|
This could be subtitled The Mickey Rourke Story. It's touching and emotional, you feel for Randy "The Ram" as he tries to cling onto the last remnants of his broken life. It also gives you an insiders perspective of just how "fake" wrestling actually is. |

That's tough because they both leave you with two completley different feeling, Rocky leaving you feeling uplifted and triumphant, whereas the Wrestler left me cold and bummed. I would actually go with the Wretler overall,though |

I loved both movies and as much as I like Mickey Rourke I liked Rocky better. I found Rocky a little more redeeming. |

Is this better than Rocky then? Both are underdog and sport ceneterd flicks with best actor performances. Which is superior? |
