| I don't want to watch it on torrent if it's available in the cinemas because it's supposed to be a very good movie. |

| it is good but if you see it on a big LCD or plasma you don't miss anything. It's not a cinemagraphic epic or anything, and the dvd rips around are great quality. |

Good to know. I want to go to the cinema because I like the experience and haven't been in over 6 months. The English movies here seem to suck at the moment, I might see Valkyrie though even though it seems like one to watch on DVD. 'The Wrestler' seems like a blockbuster that might make it to cinemas here. |

| Get on it. It's excellent. Both very funny and touching in places. There are some excellent quality torrents available and as the movie is pretty low budget and shot using a handy-cam, you don't really need a big screen to enjoy it. |

| Mickey Rourke is perfectly cast in it. I can't believe the producers wanted Nicholas Cage. If it comes to theatres here, just go to see it again so you don't feel like you're ripping them off. |

I hated that movie.
I tried to watch it like 3 or 4 times and finally just deleted it from my computer.
I found I couldn't stand looking at Mickey Rourke. He irritated me. |

| This movie is amazing. Don't watch it on a TV or a computer (?)- wait for the theatre if possible; it's magnificent! |

Wow, I'm surprised. I guess with all the publicity it's being played more.
Nice work. |

The film was good in that it was very authentic in its portrayal of the indie pro wrestling scene (which I know something about from what I've read and heard).
Mickey Rourke's performance was outstanding and deserving of an Oscar - but there's little chance that the members of the Academy will bestow that honor upon him after he recklessly disclosed the tentative WWE story-line that would be taking on Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania this year.
Pro wrestling in general - and Vince McMahon in particular - are generally considered too exploitative to be seen as respectable by cultural elites.
The main reason that Marisa Tomei was nominated for best supporting actress - as far as I see - is because of how good her practically nude body looked (despite her age...) |

Great isn't it. She's (briefly) naked on and all fours in this. |

Try to see it as soon as it comes out... independent films like this usually don't last a weekend... |
