Fantastic!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

In a PPV where nearly all the results (except maybe for Rey retaining his title) were wrong (IMO, of course), the two worst decisions were: 1) The dismantling of one of the few legitimate tag teams left in the WWE (MNM), and 2) The Undertaker jobbing cleanly to a man who can barely wrestle and has a chop to the head as his finisher. Anyway, let me do a short run-through of the matches: MNM vs. London & Kendrick (for the WWE Tag Team Titles): Very entertaining match with lots of athleticism on display and some added spice from Melina (***). BENOIT vs. FINLAY: A good old-school match with many technical holds (***). MELINA vs. JILLIAN HALL: How often do you see a bodyscissors in a WWE women's match? **1/2 for that reason alone, the rest is nothing much. GREGORY HELMS vs. SUPER CRAZY (for the Cruiserweight Title): Decent, but it could have been better (**1/2). KURT ANGLE vs. MARK HENRY: It takes someone like Angle to pull out something even watchable out of the World's Fattest Man, and he succeeds...but only just (**). BOOKER T vs. LASHLEY (King Of The Ring Tournament Final): Pretty boring, also the wrong man won (**) THE UNDERTAKER vs. THE GREAT KHALI: A bad squash - with Taker on the receiving end of it! Khali should change his name to The Great No-Seller (*). REY MYSTERIO vs. JBL (for the WH Title): This would be a solid enough undercard match, but as a main event it's pretty mediocre (**1/2).

What a pleasant surprise? Judgment Day looked like a disaster on paper, but it was an enjoyable effort.The thought that came into my head when it was announced that JBL would be taking on Rey Mysterio in the main event was, just what the world needed another JBL vs Mysterio match, but it was the best match on the card. The crappiest match on the card was The Undertaker vs The Great Khali but it was memorable for the way Khali hammered Taker. This and so much more made Judgment Day 2006 exciting. It was kind a bit like Judgment Day 2005, very good.Results from the show: Gregory Helms (c) pinned Super Crazy to retain the Cruiserwight Championship in a very good contest. Booker T defeated Bobby Lashley to become the King of the Ring winner in a heated contest. Paul London and Brian Kendrick defeated Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro to win the WWE Tag team titles in a very good match, afterwards Nitro attacked Mercury. Mark Henry defeated Kurt Angle via count out. The Khali defeated The Undertaker in a crap match. Chris Benoit defeated Finlay in a fantastic technical wrestling match, and would you believe Finlay is 48 years old? Jillian Hall defeated Melina. Rey Mysterio (c) defeated JBL to retain the Heavyweight Championship in a very good match.Overall grade - A-

This years judgment day was great with lots of great and unpredictable matches, i think it was better than most smackdown ppvs, heres my review.MATCH 1 - PAUL London AND BRIAN KENDRIK(win) vs MNM. This was a great opener, to bad that mnm broke up because i thought they were a great tag team. Anyways the match was non-stop action all the way through, plus new tag team champs. 7/10MATCH 2 - CHRIS BENOIT(win) vs FINLAY. Another great match,it was a mix of hard hitting action and technical wrestling, i didn't think Finlay could put a match like this on but he proved me wrong. 8.5/10MATCH 3 - JILLIAN HALL(win) vs MELINA. Pretty good womens match but nothing special. 5/10MATCH 4 - GREGORY HELMS(win) vs SUPER CRAZY. Good cruiser-weight match but way too short, it was was given 5 to 10 minutes more it would have been a perfect cruiser-weight match, lots of high flying moves though. 7/10MATCH 5 - KURT ANGLE vs MARK HENRY(win via count-out). I loved this but not because of the match itself but the brutal beating angle gives henry, he absolutely lost it, he destroyed him with the chair, put him in the ankle lock and angle slammed on the announcers table. the match itself was better then their rumble match in my opinion, but watch the ending aftermath. 6/10MATCH 6 - BOOKER T(win) vs BOBBY LASHLEY. This king of the ring final was very average, nothing special also very short. booker wins with help from Finlay. 5/10MATCH 7 - UNDERTAKER vs GREAT KHALI(win). Your typical big men match, very slow and short, though i was very surprised that taker got manhandled. 3/10MATCH 8 - REY MYSTERIO(win) vs JBL. This was solid main event, i thought jbl would win but i guess the wwe wants Rey as champ, personally i don't agree with him being champ but back to to the match, jbl dominating most of it then Rey fought back, and finished him with the frog splash. good match. 8/10Judgment day was a pretty good ppv view for smackdowns standards, the good matches were, tag team match, Benoit and Finlay and the main event plus the henry and angle match was very entertaining. overall a solid ppv.

Smackdown really delivered this year for Judgement Day. ALL the matches were excellent, surprising, entertaining, and unpredictable. This ppv really brought back some of the great atmosphere and feeling that we haven't felt since the attitude era. All in all, the event was great and really satisfied not just SD fans, but all WWE fans.1st match - Mercury and Nitro vs. Brian Kendrick and Paul London for the wwe tag team titles - Great opener with high flying action and exciting moves. The second the bell rang, the action started with back to back offense and defense with some high spots like when Kendrick flew over the top rope on to MNM, and Paul London's amazing drop kick to Nitro and then shifting his weigth to get the pin on Mercury. The after math was hilarious when MNM fell apart and started turning on each other. WINNER - London and Kendrick to win the tag team titles Rating - 7/102nd match - Chris Benoit vs. Finley - wow, this match really stole the show. This match wasn't that much hyped about, but once the viewers and audience started recognizing the great physicality of both performers they really got into it. Both Benoit and Finley battled in a grueling 25 minute bout with hard hits and smashing moves. The audience started getting really rowdy and the fight kept getting more brutal and brutal. Some highlights of the match are when Benoit suplexed Finley onto the concrete floor, and when Finley almost broke Benoit's jaw. The fighting in this match was so brutal, fans loved seeing a rare and brilliant bout. In the end, Finley tapped to Benoit's crossface.WINNER - Chris Benoit Rating - 9/103rd match - Jillian vs Melina - surprisingly good divas match, actually was very physical at times. This was suppose to be a comedic time filler, but turned into a interesting bout. Melina and Jillian's match actually rivaled some of RAW's diva matches, and proved these two can fight. Jillian won after reversing a powerbomb to pin Melina. Another aftermath followed when Kristal came to ringside and insulted Melina, resulting in a cat fight.WINNER - Jillian Rating - 6/104th match - Gregory Helms vs Super Crazy for Cruiserweigth championship - For a Cruiserweight match, it was a bit slow except for 1 or 2 high flying moves. Both stayed grounded most of the time, but in the end, Helmes used the ropes to pin Super Crazy for the win and retain.WINNER - Gregory Helms Rating - 6/105th match - Mark Henry vs. Kurt Angle - After their horrible match at the Royal Rumble, fans were hoping for redemption in this rematch,.... they did. A great match with hard hits from both opponents and great athleticism from angle and surprisingly Henry as well. After crushing blows, Mark Henry squashed angle between himself and the ring pole and won by count out. Aftermath was brutal when Angle began beating Henry with chair shots and angle slamming him through the announce table.WINNER - Mark Henry Rating - 8/106th match - Booker T vs. Lashley for King of the Ring - A solid match with both men performing at their best. This match was very exciting and unpredictable, but after Finley interfered and gave Lashley a cheap shot, Booker capitalized and got the win to become 2006 King of the Ring. Yet another aftermath happened when Booker made his way to the throne only to be speared through it by Lashley.WINNER - Booker T Rating - 8/107th match - The Undertaker vs. The Great Khali - Wow, this was a very exciting and edge of your seat match. The second Undertaker made his return and made his entrance into the ring, Fans went crazy and witnessed these two giants stare face to face. Undertaker did everything he could but would just be tossed aside like nothing by the Great Khali. Most people believed that Undertaker would win after all the hype of his return, but after a vicious beating by Khali and a hard fought match, Khali got the pin and of course the win. All of a suddend, the 15,000 people in the arena became quiet and watch in disbelief as their hero and legend the undertaker layed knocked out cold on the mat as The Great Khali walked away triumphant.WINNER - The Great Khali Rating - 7/10Main Event - Rey Mysterio vs. JBL for World Championship - Good main event with unpredictability and at time very close calls. JBL gave Rey a harsh beating, even busting him open with blood flowing out of Rey's mask. Rey overcame his offense though giving him the 619 and with a high flying 5 star frog splash, got the pin and win over JBL.WINNER - Rey Mysterio Rating - 7/10OVERALL PPV RATING - 8/10
