Amazing Acting Brought Down By Terrible Story Telling
11 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, let me say this, alll the actors did an amazing job in this movie. The real life story of the Von Erichs was very tragic and very interesting and the movie could have done a better job of telling the real life story of what happened. My biggest criticisms is how the story skips over major events and even eliminates major family members from this movie. They obviously tried to tell it from the perspective of Kevin Von. Erich however, in doing so they missed the opportunity to shine the light on. Carrie Van Eric. I also found it very bizarre that they didn't start the movie talking about the oldest Von Erich in his passing and using that to set the sage tone for the rest of the movie. The director seemed to really have long drawn-out scenes on things that didn't really matter as much and then the major life events were told very quickly or skipped over completely. If you are a fan of wrestling and we're hoping to see this movie, you will probably be disappointed, but for the casual viewer, you will probably like this. Zac Efron really does a fantastic job.
