Title: "Ready to Rumble" Lacks A Certain Flair
Review: And I'm not just talking sophisticated, urbane dialogue here. I'm talking the man who best represents World Championship Wrestling,the federation promoted in this tape. "Ready to Rumble" would have been a 4-star masterpiece if it featured 14-time WCW Heavyweight Champion, Nature Boy Ric Flair. (WOOOOO!) At its best, "Ready to Rumble" offers dazzling wrestling photography choreographed with Busby Berkley-esque skill by WCW Superstar Chris Kanyon and a great (albeit short) sequence featuring Macho Man Randy Savage, (OOOOOOH YEAH!) but, unfortunately, all that is obscured by a paper-thin plot and unbelievable characterizations by David Arquette, Scott Caan, Oliver Platt, and actors who deserve better, such as Martin Landau. I would like to give big ups to WCW's new chairman, Shane McMahon, and Shane-O Mac,if you're reading this, I hope you don't greenlight a "Ready to Rumble 2."
Is the review positive or negative?
