Fighting

Over the weekend I watched one of the most talked about movies to come out last week called "Fighting". This movie stars Channing Tatum and shows how a young kid from the street does anything to make a little money and a living. When he gets into a fight in the streets people recognize his hidden talent and end up making a deal with him. During the beginning of the movie he only agreed to fight just to make money for himself; but as the movie goes on viewers realize he has more than love for money but a passion for fighting. He competes in many street battles and not surprisingly wins at most of them. Throughout the movie it was very typical and predictable.  I thought the movie could have been more exciting with twists but it was the opposite of exciting. It was dragged out and poorly written. It almost reminded me of remakes from great fighting movies such as The Karate Kid Or Rocky; only no part of this movie was anything close to being as good. Although this movie hit number 1 in the box offices this weekend, I feel it wasn't worth my time.  The again, everyone is different so if people are interested in how life is like growing up in the streets and most of all fighting, then they would most likely enjoy this movie. Once was enough to watch this movie and I'm glad it's over.
