WWE WrestleMania XXV (2009)

Crappy film

Absolutely the worst movie.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The acting in this movie is really good.

wrestlemania 25 was supposed to be the biggest event if the year bu it seem to a ppv with only one good match out of what 10 12 matches. it was like watching tna not the wwe and wwe is supposed to be a better wrestling show. if wrestlemaina 26 is going to be like this whats the point of watching wwe it's like your watching tna which is the worst wrestling company in the world. the only good part of wrestlemania was hbk vs taker which is the only match i watched fully from the whole wrestlemaina. if Vince wants wwe to be come more popular why not make it hbk vs taker in a hell in a cell match or Rey mysterio vs cena vs hbk vs taker in a ladder match for the world title.

'WrestleMania 25' is supposed to be a grand affair, a brand which has been the most prominent affair in the history of WWE. But sadly the event doesn't live up to its mark.... Minus HBK vs Undertaker, no other match makes you go wow!! WM 25 could've been the best event ever, but sadly it joins the league of events like 'Summer Slam', 'Royal Rumble' and 'Survivor Series', not WM. Things which left a mark: HBK vs Undertaker. The-duo once again proved that they are the true legends of WWE, delivering a fantastic match. Easily, The best WrestleMania in recent times. The Showstopper and The Deadman deserve a standing ovation for their contribution in WWE. Mickey Rourke's cameo was entertaining, knocking Y2J down. The disappointments: Everything else. The Money In The Bank match was plain mediocre. Y2J vs The Legends was good, not great. The match reminded me of RAW. Triple H vs Randy Orton was a yawn. The built up for the match was instigating, but the result was narrow. Santina winning miss WM was unintentionally funny. Jeff vs Matt was boring, ditto for the other matches.Being a hardcore fan of WWE since childhood, I expected a lot from WM 25, but sadly it didn't reach my expectation. HBK vs Undertaker, will surely be remembered as one of the greatest matches of WWE history. The performers didn't disappoint, the event did.

Well I guess it was OK overall.-MITB Fun opener. Not the best MITB but I liked it. Was rooting for Christian tho. 7/10-Kid Rock/Divas battle royal-Damn Kid Rock for cutting the divas' entrance. 25 Divas battle royal was bad....didn't see Torrie or Trish or Sunny. Pointless. 0/10-Jericho vs. Legends. I consider Jericho as one of the very best in the businnes...waste of talent here. At first, I felt sad for Y2J as tried to sell Piper's weak attempts for some punches/kicks. Then it became scary, I mean **** hell Snuka is a mess. With all due respect, If i was Jericho, I would be worried that he may get injured or worse at any moment. He defines retirement perfectly. The match had the marks of being one of the worst in history until Steamboat came on. Wow....hell of a performance, hats off. Save the match. 6.5/10-Rourke. The crowd were not really into it. It was OK, fun I guess but ridiculous.-Hardy vs. Hardy. Pretty good match, much better than the first time they tried this feud. Great ending, I'm happy Matt won. 7.5/10-JBL vs. Mysterio. Mysterio was ridiculous in his joker attire. Farewell JBL. Totally pointless. 4/10 (for the fun factor)-Undertaker vs. HBK. A classic. Exceeded the already high expectations. These two guys got the very best of each other. The PPV is worth it for this match only. One of a kind. 20/10-Edge vs. Big Show vs. Cena. Suffered from the fact that it's after Taker vs. HBK. Average anyway. Cena winning is a real shocker. me. Can't Edge have a decent run for once? Cena's entrance was annoying. 6/10Hall of Fame. He did it tons of times before, but I still love this Austin thing. Hell of a career. Great segment.-HHH vs. Orton. MAJOR disappointment. I liked this feud a lot. It's true that Orton lost a beat of momentum by the end I was looking forward to this. An average match at the very best and the worst thing is that Orton didn't even win. HHH wins again, how does this help really? 5/10Overall. A classic and some good matches...nothing really unwatchable but weak as per wrestlemania standards. Taker-HBK makes it worth it. Without this, it would have been the worst wrestlemania since 2000. Last year was better.....last time in Texas was the best ever but again, for me it was the story of one match: Taker vs. HBK

The Good: - HBK/Undertaker kicked ass. One of the best matches I've seen in a while. - The Legends vs Jericho thing wasn't a complete waste of time- Rourke actually showed, but more importantly it reminded the world of the talented Mr. Steamboat. Kudos to Jericho for keeping this thing alive, and WWE giving Jericho the much needed victory. - The World Title Triple Threat was decent and worthy- it lived right up to it's expectations. The Bad: - The Divas match set womankind back 500 years. - The Main Event sucked ass. It was incredibly boring and had one of the lamest endings ever. Orton was pretty much squashed for 25 minutes. It was the exact opposite of Rock/Austin 8 years ago in the same place. - CM Punk winning again is an idea that would've worked in any year but this one. - JBL deserved a greater retirement match. - The Hardyz bout, and the main event for that matter, could've used some more intensity and violence, WE WANT BLOOD! - Where hell was the tag match! - What happened to Swagger and the ECW title?This was probably the most average Wrestlemania of all time. The only real standout moment was Taker/Michaels. It didn't have the worst matches, and it definitely didn't have the best. Wrestlemania is supposed to shake the company up quite a bit, something this Wrestlemania completely failed to do. You could say it's because of WWE's significant loss of star power since the early 00's, but in all seriousness, the booking was just plain uninspired. I suggest taking out the money in the bank, because those stars each having their own piece of the show would've benefited it greatly.
