Review of Grudge Match (2013) by Nathan M — 08 Jun 2014

Review:

The best way to watch this movie is if you totally don't take it seriously. It's more like a comedic Rocky with the two old timers proving that they still got it in the ring. Some of the scenes are funny, but I grew up watching the Rocky movies and I was a big fan of Raging Bull so it's a bit weird watching Stallone & DeNiro kicking butt in there later years. I couldn't keep up with Kevin Hart because seems to have verbal diarrhoea throughout the movie which did get on my nerves, but apart from that, it's a watchable film with an impressive showdown at the end. Watchable!

Round-Up:

It really does amaze me how much DeNiro can change from one role to another. In some of his films, he still looks young, but in this film I think that they deliberately went with an older look. Stallone just looks the same in all of his movies and his acting style isn't really that versatile, but I will always watch his movies, because I have grown up with all of his franchises. I didn't really like the guy who played DeNiro's son because he seemed to slow the film down, but I liked all of the cameos, especially Tyson & Holyfield at the end.

Budget: $40million.

Worldwide Gross: $42.3million.

I recommend this movie to people who are into there boxing movies about 2 veteran boxers who want to settle a old score. 6/10.
