**Official Never Back Down Reviews**

As much as I am new here, I would like to make an official Never Back Down review thread so that we can all put what we think of it in here after tonight. Don't lie, I know most of you are going to see this. If you live anywhere close to me, I'll be the guy in the warriorwear stuff.

I don't think it looks like a bad movie. It has a decent plot to it, good storyline, some pretty good actors. And it's MMA, I mean we can't really go wrong right? And so what if they don't do it sanctioned and everything and make it look like street-fighting... It's still getting on the big screen is it not?

Plus in the trailers one dude pulls off what looks to be a triangle choke on top of a car

This move makes the Karate Kid look like Casablanca.

Please tell me this cat isn't serious. How can making it look like street fighting and not being sanctioned be good for the sport. That is what MMA has tried to climb out of. A triangle choke on a car, your joking right?? TOOL!!!

How it makes the sport look doesn't enter into it.

It just looks like a poorly written, poorly directed, piece of crap movie aimed directly at the retarded male18-34 demo.
I won't even steal this movie to watch it, it's not worth my time or the bandwidth.

I decided to write a very lond winded review in Mayberry:
Mayberry Movie Review: Never Back Down

It's true it's not a good movie. All you had to do was watch the trailers to know that. But it's not true that this is gonna set MMA back many, many years, like the hardcore alarmists continue warning about.

Believe me when I say that this will be forgotten about in a week's time.
