Am I the only person in America who loathed this movie? |

You mean it didn't "wrap itself around your soul?"
The promo on the radio said it would. Perhaps it wrapped itself too tightly around your soul and now your soul feels constricted--hence the loathing. |

Me too, anyway I hate boxing. I am trying to figure out what all the hoopla is about. |

Oh, thank you Emmie! Another voice in the wilderness!
No, this movie definitely did NOT wrap itself around my soul -- what an icky thought! Who came up with that one?!?!
I hated it because it was incredibly cheezy, full of cliched stock characters, film making 101 camera shots, and fake-•••, manipulative plot twists. I just don't get why such a lame Movie (not film, Movie) is every critic's darling, I feel like I'm stuck in a real life version of The Emporer's New Clothes! |

If I had to guess who said it, I'd say it was probably Joel Siegal. Clearly his goal is to be the most quoted movie reviewer in history, because he always has something glowing to say about the worst piece of crap movies. This way his words wind up on the add campaign. I'm a sports lover but I hate boxing. It's an absolutely depressing sport and has as much credibility as professional wrestling. Plus, it's boring (except for the lightweights). Give me a good karate tournament anyday. That's great stuff. Well, I guess this female protege of Mr. Miyagi got tired of laboring in the obscurity of karate and decided to go more mainstream.

The radio says not only will it wrap itself around your heart, it won't let go! Eek!

Morgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors. What was he thinking? |

I thought that they said soul, but maybe it was heart. Either way not a nice image. |

Oh yeah, Joe, sorry. I think you're right.
The movie so great, it will rip your soul right out of your body and sell your soul to the devil. |
