I must be missing the point!

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2015)

OK, could someone please explain what is it about this movie that makes people say it's a masterpiece or an Oscar nominee or master acting.... Totally dull, boring, dark and not thrilling at all and stupid movie in my humble opinion. LEt's say the acting is reasonably good, but no way it's exceptional - Carell acts like everything will fall of his face in a matter of seconds, and all 3 lead actors look just like they pooped their pants! (see how they walk in the movie!-OK, the wrestlers might be walking like that and great that they all acted it right but it's a bit silly); Except from that, movie goes on forever, totally slow, uninteresting and complete waste of time. WHile being quite a fan of sport stories, especially when true, this is by far the worst sport related movie I have ever watched. Even though it's about the characters, it still is about the sport as well? I am sorry but the way it's directed is totally not deep, not understandable and you feel like tons of things are missing (I believe I read that in the beginning there was over 40 hrs of material- I Wonder why!!?!). I respect that there are people that see more in this film than I but from an ordinary viewers perspective, I just don't see what's so great about it?? Definitely nothing Worth my attention. And for Oscars - no way! I respect Steve Carell, but the way this was played by him - at least 20 more actors could have done it at least the same... all in all - a disaster movie from my point of view. 2 stars instead of 1 - only cause I have some respect towards those who think it's a masterpiece. Watch it and decide for yourself.
