Story is kind of sad, but not in the good way. Spoilers

Rating: 1/10 (4 February 2012)

Hi i just wanted to write this review because of all the press it got and how people think it it a great motivating story. The story of Micki Ward life is pathetic in the movie. He lives in his brothers shadow which is understandable being the younger brother of someone who had some success but after he is screwed over by him and his mom so many times he finally breaks away for him. At this point i was really liking the movie. He starts to win and even wins a shot at the title, but then his brother comes back from jail clean, his brother is a crack head and had to go to jail where he got clean, so he wants his brother back training him over the people who got him there. He even sadly credits his brother for his wins. So even the movie about his life is still mostly about his brother. So how motivating is it to have a story about a man in an abusive relationship and get out just to go back in?
