AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

SlyGuy21 1st Match: HHH vs Mankind. Following their super boring match from King of the Ring, we get this alright one. I remember them having a cage match at Summerslam, and it makes sense given how this one ends in a no contest. The crowd's more into the match, and there are some cool spots, so I guess it does a good job of starting the show. Rating: 3/52nd Match: Taka Michinoku vs The Great Sasuke. Part of WWF's Light Heavyweight division, or "Not Cruiserweight division". The match is entertaining enough, there are some good spots, but the crowd's kind of distant except for the end. I'd like to see more from Michinoku though, mostly because he has one of my favorite finishers. Rating: 3.5/53rd Match: Undertaker vs Vader, WWF Championship. This was supposed to be Taker vs Ahmed Johnson, but because of injury, Vader got the scraps. This is also the weird waiting period before Kane's debut at Badd Blood, so expect a lot of "Undertaker is a murderer!" lines. It's good for a big man match, but I'm guessing Ahmed would've gotten a bigger reaction. The match is alright though. Rating: 3/54th Match: The Hart Foundation vs Goldust, Ken Shamrock, The Road Warriors, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. This is the match everyone knows from this show, and given how loud the crowd is, it's not hard to see why. Granted, Austin appears to love the crowd hating his gets, and baits them like crazy to boo him. The usual chaos you'd expect from a match this size is here, only with the crowd cheering everything the Hart's do. Owen gets injured and taken out, then Austin gets injured and taken out, then both guys come back out. Weird booking, and the finish is super weak, with a roll-up defeating Austin's team, but it makes sense for the Harts to win on their home turf. It's an exciting match, the finish is just lackluster. Rating: 4.5/5Final Rating: 7 out of 10. This won "Best Major Show" from Dave Meltzer in 1997, and while I can see that, the show as a whole is mostly elevated by the main event. The other matches are good, but not the killers you'd expect.

bh_tafe3 WWE embraced the spirit of Canada in this satisfying PPV event, featuring Vader's final WWE Championship match, a very well done 10 man tag main event, and Mankind seeking revenge on recently crowned King of the Ring, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.The night began with the two men who had wrestled in the King of the Ring final a month earlier, Mankind and Hunter Hearst Helmsley, going at it in a spirited opener. Chyna accompanied Triple H to the ring and interjected herself several times, the match eventually ending in a double count out as both men brawled outside. A fun match to start the night.Next it was time for Taka Michinoku, who would be used to this by the time his WWE tenure came to an end a few years later, to get beaten, in a pretty long match for what it was, by The Great Sasuke. Fun in parts and certainly not awful, this was part of the WWE's attempts to compete with WCW's very strong cruiserweight division. It never really caught on, and although the WWE kept a small man's title of some sort until 2007, it was mainly used as a joke, unless Rey Mysterio was holding it.Next came the big WWE title match which saw the Undertaker successfully retain the title against Vader. Taker and Vader had been feuding on and off since Vader had arrived in the WWE a year and a half earlier. Both on their own were good wrestlers, but they had no chemistry together and put on a string of poor matches. This was no exception. Vader's loss here marked the end of his title aspirations in the WWE. Near the end of the year he'd make an unsuccessful transition to a fan favourite, lost a bunch of matches, and didn't see out 1998.Out comes the Farmer's Daughter to sing O Canada. I never could remember the words to that song.Now came a big time Main Event match with the beloved home town heroes (who were booed throughout America, but were fan favourites in Canada) The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Brian Pillman and Jim Neidhart) taking on the arrogant, hated Americans (Steve Austin, Ken Shamrock, Hawk and Animal) in one of the best 10 man tag matches ever to happen in the WWE. The big rivalry throughout 1997 had been Bret Hart vs Steve Austin. Austin had cost Hart victory in the Royal Rumble, then cost him the WWE Title a month later. Fans had turned on Hart after he defeated Austin at Wrestlemania 13, so Hart re-established the Hart Foundation as an anti-American, and more to the point, anti-Austin group and they cost Austin the title at the "Cold Day in Hell" PPV in May. So here it was time to get it on, and they certainly did. Owen Hart eventually won the match by pinning Austin who was being distracted by some of the Hart brothers at ringside. Austin had only himself to blame: he'd tried to attack them in their seats.So there you have it. Canadian Stampede was a tremendous show, and a grand end to the two hour In Your House spectaculars. From here In Your House would be three hours in length. In May 1999, the final In Your House PPV was held, but the real ending was here, where the original two hour concept was abandoned. The two hour shows had produced some great cards, some horrendous cards and some in between, but had played their part in transitioning WWE into a monthly PPV schedule.

Ronald Quincy Dobbs Deep into the WWF's "US vs. Canada/Hart Foundation" storyline, the WWF decided to have their July In Your House in the Hart family's hometown of Calgary, Alberta Canada. The environment is absolutely UNREAL as the fans go nuts for everything the Canadians do (Brian Pillman gets cheered for cheating for example) and boo the US team out of the building with their every move (Steve Austin takes on a heel persona and plays against the crowd getting some of the loudest heat ever, Ken Shamrock tries to play to the crowd and gets booed right out of the building) Just a break down of the matches here.Mankind vs. HHH Probably the best of their original feud, if you loved the Street Fight or the HIAC or the MSG Raw match this is an essential, this is from their original feud and was an absolutely wild brawl leading to a double countout and they fought throughout the rest of the show, the feud culminated the next month at Summerslam ****Taka vs. The Great Sasuke Although they've had many matches on Michinoku Pro TV this is the first time North American WWF fans had been treated to these two (although they made a very very impressive NA PPV debut at ECW's barely legal 4 months prior), a great outing which changed Taka's entire career path because of how the crowd rallied behind him, originally Sasuke was to be pushed and Taka was supposed to be fodder for the light heavyweight division. This match was excellent although a bit short, and is one of the best cruiserweight matches i've ever seen, even close to Eddy vs. Rey. ****1/4 Vader vs. The Undertaker This was originall supposed to be Ahmed vs. Taker, but big surprise, Ahmed Johnson got injured before the match! Thank god his heel push got cut off at the legs. Anyway, this is a really good big man match that really makes you realize how washed up Taker is after he was this great in 97. The selling and bumping are really sound for these two, especially considering how injuries were getting to Vader at this point. ***3/4 10 Man Tag Steve Austin/Ken Shamrock/Goldust/Road Warriors vs. Bret Hart/Owen Hart/Jim Neidhart/British Bulldog/Brian Pillman Wild, 30 minutes of non stop action with the best crowd heat ever for any match (although it was nearly duplicated on Raw in 2000 during the Radicals debut). Wild stuff as Owen Hart and Steve Austin both were "injured" during the match, leading to their exits and eventual return for the finish, Austin gets in a brawl with the Hart family at ringside and gets taken to jail, but is able to get the middle fingers up past the handcuffs. Why couldn't he play THIS character in 2001? Awesome stuff, and i wish that Bret Hart could've gone out on this note. ***** If you don't own this tape...what is wrong with you?!!?!? Get a VHS copy of the coliseum video version "WWF Maximum Impact (97)" which should say contains matches with the July in your house and has Bret Hart on the cover. Probably the best show the WWF has EVER done in competition with only Wrestlemania X-7 and a few others. WWE is nuts not to release this on DVD, i'd upgrade my copy in a second.

Big Movie Fan This wrestling event is still talked about today and many wrestling magazines over the world still rate this card as one of the best of the 1990's.It may have only had four matches but isn't it better to have four good matches on a card than dozens of meaningless and pointless matches?Rising star Hunter Hearst Helmsley had a wild brawl with the deranged Makind. Japanese stars Taka Michinoku and The Great Sasuke had a dazzling match. The Undertaker defended his WWF Title against Vader in a sensational match.The main event was fabulous. At the time the WWF were promoting a storyline featuring Canada VS The United States. On American soil the American wrestlers were the good guys (obviously) but this event took place in Calgary, Canada so paradoxically the good guys became the bad guys and vice versa. In Canada, Bret Hart and his team battled Steve Austin and his team in one of the best WWF matches ever. This match was amazing which was typical for the WWF of 1997.
