Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
aesgaard41 You take the good, you take the bad… You merge wrestling and a fondness for Hollywood movie monsters, and you get something called "Monster Brawl," a scenario that pits monsters against monsters in a highly improbable setting: the wrestling ring. (Somewhere Hulk Hogan is asking, "Are you freaking kidding me?") There's no plot, no script and no logic. It's a highly fictionalized horror movie sports match done very tongue in cheek with Dave Foley and Art Hindle reporting at ring side and Eighties icon Johnny "The Mouth Of The South" Hart at ringside with two busty babes to spar the monsters. What bothers me most is watching the so-called monsters fighting like… wrestlers. The Wolfman doesn't come teeth gnashing, claw ripping and growling like a werewolf; he comes like an actor playing a wrestler in werewolf make up. The Mummy does come dragging and the Frankenstein Monster is still a mindless monster, but the problem is, these creatures should be coming out no holds barred and just tearing loose. The lady vampire doesn't exploit her mystical powers to turn into a bat or mist. They should be fighting like monsters, but some of so-called monsters, like the witch, are actually human outcasts, which should put them at an obvious disadvantage, and to get really nit-picky, some of the background facts are just plain wrong, especially in the case of the Cyclops. With the vast array of classic and movie monsters out there, some of the creatures are invented solely for this film, (Witch Bitch? Swamp Gut?) which leans more to horror fans than for wrestling fans. Actor Lance Henriksen narrates the whole mockumentary with all the intensity and verb of Boris Karloff for a truly creepy atmosphere. It's a fun, raucous display with excellent make-up creations, and Johnny Hart gets the funniest lines here, but I still expected much more than just actors in costume beating the crap out of each other.
truly_wundaful Now I will first start off by saying if your not into wrestling then you will not like this movie. I'm a big wrestling Buff, I watch both WWE and TNA and use to watch ECW and WCW. So I'm the perfect person to appreciate this. It's not meant to be taken seriously, it's not a true horror movie or maybe it's not even a movie at all. But what it is is 90 minutes of hilarious clichés and Wrestling PPV style showmanship. It would almost be better as a real show than a movie. But for what it's worth it is really funny. It has it's ha ha moments and it's WTF moments. But if your into cheesy old school wrestling then you'd appreciate this movie. If your not into wrestling then don't even waste your time. You'll hate it. I hope they continue to make sequels. It has the potential to really create some good story lines.
smellysocks12 When i bought this movie on bluray i knew i was buying a bad movie. It is called monster brawl, so that cant be good.What i did expect is entertainment value. It also does not have that. The movie plays like an episode of pro wrestling, with an introduction of each fighter and then followed by the actual fight.The intros are of low entertainment value, but they are better acted than the fights itself. The movie is about the fights, but it is just plain silly. Bad wwf moves performed by zombies, with some use of special effects that are not spectacular or convincing.If you like fights i suggest you watch any ufc tournament. If you like monsters, watch a monster movie. Braindead if you like zombies, blade if you like vampires or the mummy if you like mummies. Just don't be tricked into buying this movie, a waste of time and the plastic the bluray was made of.
ersinkdotcom Remember when you were a kid and you would dream of your favorite monsters battling each other? You would sit in school daydreaming about what it would be like to see Frankenstein's Monster battle the Werewolf or the Mummy get into hand-to-hand combat with the Creature from the Black Lagoon. This is something you no longer have to imagine. Thanks to Image Entertainment, "Monster Brawl " takes those very childhood fantasies and puts them on screen.The movie is simple to describe. You take all your favorite horror movie creatures and throw them in a wrestling ring to battle it out with each other to the death. Throw in some intro sequences to give each monster's back story and some emcees dishing witty retorts back and forth and you've got a film that should satisfy both horror fans and wrestling fans.The "Monster Brawl" Blu-ray has enough special features to satisfy fans of the movie, making it a worthwhile purchase for those who enjoy it. The film itself starts to drag and loses its novelty effect after a half hour to 45 minutes. I will tell you that I'd rather watch this several times over that sitting through one evening of WWE wrestling. However, if you're a fan of both wrestling and horror movies chances are you'll love this.
