Admirable film.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I don't know why, but I seriously like the Great American Bash PPV's. Last year's was alright, but this year's was better than last years.FIRST MATCH- ANIMAL & HEIDENREICH VS. MNM W/ MELINA FOR THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP{Great to see Animal back} Also great action for the start of the match. Animal & Heidenreich are great as a team. Animal & Heidenreich win after a modified Doomsday Device Slam for the win & to become new WWE Tag Team Champions. 5/10SECOND MATCH- BOOKER T W/ SHARMELL VS. ChristianGood decent match by these two. They showed some cool wrestling moves & got a great match going on as well. Booker T wins after going on the top rope & nailed a Scissors Kick from there on Christian for the win. 5/10THIRD MATCH- CHRIS BENOIT VS. ORLANDO JORDAN FOR THE WWE UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIPThis was also a great match which I was really looking forward to seeing. I wanted Benoit to win, but OJ cheated to get the win after slamming Benoit on the exposed turnbuckle & covering him for the 3 count to get the win & retain his US Title. 5/10FOURTH MATCH- MUHAMMAD HASSAN W/ DAIVARI VS. UNDERTAKER IN A NO. 1 CONTENDERS MATCHNot bad, but could have been better. {By the way Muhammad Hassan had about 7 men surrounding the ring for no reason.} Even though I wanted Muhammad Hassan to win, Undertaker got the victory after a Chokeslam for the win to become No. 1 Contender. 4/10FIFTH MATCH- EDDIE GUERRERO VS. REY MYSTERIO IF EDDIE WINS HE WILL REVEAL REY'S SECRET IF REY WINS THEN EDDIE WILL NOT REVEAL HIS SECRETNot the best of their match but it was still good. {Rey's son Dominik was at ringside watching the match}. Eddie dominated Rey for almost the whole match until suddenly Mysterio countered Eddie's pin after a Frog Splash into a roll-up for the 3 count as his unknown secret will still be kept quiet. 4/10SIXTH MATCH- MELINA VS. TORRIE Wilson IN A BRA & PANTIES MATCH SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE: CANDICE MICHELLEBoring, just boring. What is up with all these Diva matches. Melina wins after stripping Torrie first in her Bra & Panties. After the match Torrie & Candice together strip Melina in Bra & Panties as she runs away backstage. Later Candice takes her own clothes off & is in her Bra & Panties just like Torrie much to the delight of the fans. 2/10SEVENTH MATCH- MEXICOOLS {SUPER CRAZY, PSICOSIS & JUVENTUD} VS. BWO IN A 6-MAN TAG TEAM MATCHA cool 6-man tag team match which saw the Mexicools do some cool high-flying moves. The Mexicools win after nailing a double team move on Steven Richards for the win. 4/10EIGHT MATCH- JBL VS. BATISTA FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPA bit boring, slow & sloppy. It starts to get fast paced which great moves & wrestling style, but later it gets boring. JBL wins by DQ after Batista slammed him with the Championship Belt which the referee caught him so. After the match Batista goes berserk & nails both JBL & Orlando Jordan {Who tried to interfere during the match} with a steel chair followed by giving each of them a Batista Bomb as the PPV goes off the air. 4/10So this was another Great American Bash PPV which was just a but better than last years.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C

a million times better then last years but still not great. may be in wrong order1. M'N'M(TAG CHAMPS) Vs L.O.D WWE TAG TITLE MATCH5.5/10 raw look on and be jealous ....proper tag teams.. surprisingly a short match which got it its 5 rating but it was still decent and these are two good tag teams.2. Booker T Vs Christian7.5/10 Good match ..christian surprisingly had all the crowd support booker was booed whenever he mounted offence...good match with a few minor false finishes.3. Melina Vs Torrie BRA AND PANTIES Candice referee10/10 looks hotness...4.5/10 match.. as usual a poor womens match but this gets a 4.5 because they stripped each other down... candice looked SMOKING HOT when she got her stuff out at the end ...4. Orlando Jordan (US CHAMP) Vs Chris Benoit US TITLE MATCH6.5/10 a bit boring at times but OJ was impressive he dominated benoit in an impressive way at times.. people say its a shame he won ..i thought he did well5. Undertaker Vs Muhammad Hassan,7/10 despite the result being confirmed after cry baby upn's complaints about hassan..the match was very good ...it made undertaker seem like the old undertaker we know as he fought not only hassan but daivari and all the hooded men which made him seem untouchable..made him seem like a real tough guy.6. Mexicools Vs BWO5/10 a few decent moves but nothing more ....blue meanie shouldn't be allowed to wear belly tops its revolting7. Rey Mysterio Vs Eddie Guerrero8/10 Excellent Match from these two again.. the dominic storyline although at times annoying went well with there matches especially this one ....dominic had front row and was treated to a classic8. JBL Vs Batista ( WORLD CHAMP) WORLD TITLE MATCH6/10 Not a great match by any stretch of the imagination ...very average.. these two although very impactful with there moves tend to go into dry patches...crowd were lost a bit of the way through but they got back on after oj's interference which actually made the match better. expected ending ..for me anyway ...i saw it coming a mile off

Just like last years GAB, this sucked. WWE's offer of three excellent PPV's in a row (Judgment Day, One Night Stand and Vengeance) made this writer wonder if they had been made to seen sense, but how wrong I was.Animal and Heidenreich (possible the worst team ever and an insult to Hawk) beat the best team in WWE right now, Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro to win the WWE tag team titles in a rubbish match.Booker T beat Christian in a fair contest, however there was no build up to the match and it seemed that the match was only booked to pad the PPV out.The Mexicools (Super Crazy, Psicosis and Juventud) won the BWO (Stevie Richards, Simon Dean and The Blue Meanie) in a worthless match.Orlando Jordan beat, yes BEAT Chris Benoit in a slump. Why Benoit was wrestling Jordan the worst US champ in history is beyond me.The Undertaker pinned Muhammad Hassan.Melina beat Torrie Wilson in a p*ss poor match, no one cared about the result and it was understandable.Rey Mysterio beat Eddie Guerrero in the match of the night.John 'Bradshaw' Layfield beat Batista via DQ after Big Dave hit JBL with a chair in a lame main event.Overall Grade - D

This is the first Smackdown brand PPV since the 2005 draft. Last years Great American Bash was one of the worst ppv's ever. It wouldn't be hard for this years event to improve on it. Match 1 - MnM VS Heidenreich and Road Warrior Animal. WWE Tag Titles I didn't expect this match to start the event but it wasn't bad. It didn't outstay it's welcome and when Animal got the tag towards the end it really picked up. Winners and new tag champs - Heidenreich and Road Warrior AnimalMatch 2 - Christian vs Booker T Could've been better but it wasn't too bad. Their match ups in 2003 were decent and there wasn't much heat going into this. If they had more TV to develop a storyline something better would have come from the match. Still it had it's moments and was passable entertainment Winner - Booker TMatch 3 - Orlando Jordan vs Chris Benoit. U.S Title I couldn't understand the lack of TV time they had going into this match. Benoit beat Booker T in a No 1 Contenders match and that was it. There wasn't even an exchange between the two until Heat before. But despite this they put on a decent match. Benoit did a great job and brought out the best in Jordan. I think it was the best match of his career up to that night. It seemed a competitive match and just about the title. Nothing else which is very rare for any title match on PPV. Winner - Orlando JordanMatch 4 - Mohammed Hassan vs The Undertaker I wasn't looking forward to this a great deal as Mohammed Hassan can hardly wrestle and Taker's been poor in the ring for the past year. But i was surprised to see a good and entertaining match. The whole interference thing actually helped the math a great deal and it was fun to see The Undertaker beat the crap out of six guys. The ending was a bit bogged though as when Hassan went through the stage the noise of him landing was badly timed. Winner - The UndertakerMatch 5 - Mexicools vs BWO A filler match which i expected to start the card. Not a good match and usually after something big has just happened on a PPV you get filler matches like this. Too short and really should have started the PPV. Winner - MexicoolsMatch 6 - Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero This rivalry has gotten too personal and i don't like these personal angles. They diverge from wrestling completely. Anyway the match was very good and i was very surprised to Rey win it. A lot of high spots were awesome and the psychology between the two in the ring was very good. Not as good as their match at Wrestlemania 21 but still a top match. Match of the night. Winner - Rey MysterioMatch 7 - Melina vs Torrie Wilson. Bra and Panties Mtch. Nothing much to say. I expected noting much from this match and i was right. I wasn't interested but Melina has got a decent rack on her. It's worth watching just to see that. Winner - MelinaMatch 8 - Batista vs JBL. World Title. I expected too much from this contest. It didn't deliver. There was hardly any wrestling in the whole match. Just punching and kicking. It did have some good moments and it beats the crap out of last years main event at the Great American Bash, the infamous Concrete Crypt match Winner - Batista
