Most of all disrespectful?

Rating: 4/10 (23 March 2011)

First the good point:
The actors did quite a nice acting job, remembering how little development there actually is.
The bad points: The original two Rocky movies where more engaging than this and far ahead of this. The latest Rocky movie is better than this. Cinderella Man is much better than this. But most of all, The Wrestler is light years better than this and much more engaging.
This being a 2 hour movie everything goes sort of stale. A third of the movie is about the crack head brother and his useless life. A third of the movie is about a redneck hen house. The last third of the movie is dedicated to the rest. And this being primarily being a boxing movie it's almost sad that the boxing is just about 10% of the total.
But what really angers me is this: The movie depicts real life events that are very recent. Everybody is still alive, everybody is there to tell their story, yet they make a feature movie out of this?! They could have shown all people involved a little more respect and made a documentary about it! THAT I would have LOVED watching! That would have been REAL! They even got the real people this is about at the back of the movie in a little clip! Why not be a bit more respectful and actually make a movie about them - WITH them?
