It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I generally enjoyed this Raw PPV as it had cool matches & some shocking moments which definitely have to be seen to be believed.FIRST MATCH- RIC FLAIR VS. CARLITO FOR THE WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Pretty good match between Flair & Carlito. Both men did pretty well which also featured Flair jumping off the top rope for the first time in his wrestling career. Flair makes Carlito tap out to the Figure 4 Leg Lock to win & win the IC Title for the first time in his career. 5/10 SECOND MATCH- TRISH STRATUS & ASHLEY VS. VICTORIA & TORRIE Wilson Not a bad Diva's tag team match. Great to see Trish return & not as a heel anymore. Also great to see Ashley team up with a better Diva like Trish. Trish & Ashley win after Trish nails Victoria with the Chick Kick for the win. 3/10 THIRD MATCH- BIG SHOW VS. GENE SNITSKY Not bad for a big man vs. big man match. Snitsky tries to topple down the Big Show with everything he can, but it is not enough as Big Show nails Snitsky with the Chokeslam for the win. 4/10 FOURTH MATCH- MATT HARDY VS. EDGE W/ LITA Probably the best Steel Cage match I have ever seen. Both men tried to take some risks with high flying moves, but in the end Matt went right on top of the Steel Cage & nailed a Leg Drop right from the top cage on Edge & pinned him for the victory. {Edge was busted upon during the match}. 6/10 FIFTH MATCH- SHELTON BENJAMIN VS. KERWIN WHITE Wasn't really bad, but could of been better if they had more time to try & wrestle a better match. 3/10 SIXTH MATCH- LANCE CADE & TREVOR MURDOCH VS. ROSEY & HURRICANE FOR THE WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP Don't know why, but I seriously enjoyed this tag team match. Both Rosey & Hurricane did well against the newcomers, but Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch nailed a cool double team move on Hurricane, {Don't really know how to describe the move} & pinned him for a 3 count for the win & for them to win the World Tag Team Titles. 5/10 SEVENTH MATCH- SHAWN MICHAELS VS. CHRIS MASTERS Chris Masters definitely has great charisma when going in the ring against some top WWE Superstars like Shawn Michaels here. Masters grounds Michaels with some strong grapple moves but it still isn't enough as Michaels nails the Sweet Chin Music for the 3 count to win & end Masters winning streak once & for all. 5/10 EIGHT MATCH- KURT ANGLE VS. JOHN CENA FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP Pretty good match between Angle & Cena. Although their match at No Way Out was a bit more better, this was still a good one but did not end in a right way. Cena nails Angle with the WWE Championship Belt while the referee caught him & disqualified him. After the match both Angle & Bischoff try to attack Cena, but Cena fights both of them off, gives Bischoff an F-U, then gets Angle & F-U's him through the announce table as the PPV goes off the air. 5/10 Wasn't really a bad PPV at all. This year's was definitely better than last year's Unforgiven PPV.Overall: I'll give it 7/10 & a C

1) Ric Flair vs. Carlito (for the intercontinental title). Flair fans will love this one, but I found it poor, relying more on the wrestlers' gimmicks than on the wrestling itself. I also can't see the point of giving the IC title to an old man instead of younger talent that needs to be pushed (not necessarily Carlito). *1/22) Trish and Ashley vs. Victoria and Torrie. When Trish or Victoria or both are in the ring, it's good (yes, Trish comes off better, but if you look closely it's obvious that she wouldn't have done anything without Victoria's help). Ashley, who is still training, takes a few bumps but also does some things that make no sense...Torrie, disappointingly, does next-to-nothing. **3) Big Show vs. Gene Snitsky. A surprisingly enjoyable match. Snitsky's strategy to focus on Big Show's right arm is a solid one, and Show's offense, although limited, is fun to watch. Say what you want about Snitsky, he's one of the few men who can stand next to the Big Show and look like they have a legitimate chance of winning. **1/24) Chavo Guerrero vs. Shelton Benjamin. Once you get past the lame "Kervin White" gimmick (which the commentators never do), this is a fast-paced match with good, complex moves by both wrestlers. **1/25) Edge vs. Matt Hardy (Steel Cage Match). An intense match-up, with some hits that look (and sound) as if they are connecting, and some great high spots. Better than I though it would be. *** 6) Cade and Murdoch vs. Hurricane and Rosey (for the tag-team title). H+R were an enjoyable team, but this filler match is hurt by obvious crowd indifference. ** 7) Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels. Disappointing match, Masters shows potential, HBK needs to cut down the overselling a bit. ** 8) John Cena vs. Kurt Angle (for the WWE title). Angle once again proves his versatility by combining a street-fighting style (to match with Cena's) with his unique (at least in the WWE today) freestyle ground wrestling. But the messy DQ ending draws boos from the crowd and spoils what could have been a great main event. ***Overall a pretty solid PPV, better than "Vengeance" in my opinion, though we COULD have done without the shot of Flair's butt.

After clips of the Angle/ Cena feud, Unforgiven 2005 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma starts. Match 1: Ric Flair Vs. Carlito for the International Championship. Overall a pretty lackluster match, but Flair won the belt so I guess that counts for something. 4 stars out of 10. The Nature Boy then goes into a speech and pulls some plants, excuse me um..real paying attendants *wink* out of the audience. Lita talks to Edge while messaging his neck. Match 2: Tori Wilson and Victoria Vs. Trish Stratus and Ashley. I hate hate HATE women's matches as they always suck balls. This one was no exception. Trish Stratus & Ashley won, but really no one wins when there's a woman in there wrestling if you know what I mean and I think you do. 1/10. In the best segment of the PPV thus far, Flair pulls out a bottle of Viagra, after he leads the 4 girls into his limo. WOOOOOO!!! an ad for WWe Raw moving to the USA network. Dusty Hill & Billy Gibbons are introduced in the audience. Match 3: Big Show Vs. Gene Snitsky. Show manhandles Snitsky for most of the match (Snit does get a few good moves in) and Show ends up winning, hitting him one last time post-match 3/10 An ad for Wrestlemania is shown. Back at Flair's limo steam is coming off it. (it was stupid, they should have quit the joke while it was funny). Clips of the Shawn Micheal/ Chris Masters feud. Match 4: Kerwin White vs Shelton Benjamin. Not a fan of Chavo's new gimmick, but not a fan of Shelton at all. But he won anyway 3/10. Matt Hardy is interviewed about his upcoming match. Scenes of the Matt/ Edge feud. Match 5: Edge Vs. Matt Hardy in a Cell match. A pretty good match (but lets face it anything half-decent would look good after the previous 4 matches of the PPV) I think I liked the Summerslam match better though. 7/10. Bishoff yells at Cena as Edge crawls up the ramp to backstage. Match 6: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch Vs.Hurricane and Rosey for the Tag Team championship belt. Slow, lame, and boring, but hey at least it wasn't a womens' match. Lance & Trevor, but who cares? 2/10 We're back at Flair's limo YET AGAIN (overkill) as a lady comes out wearing Nature Boy's robe. Chris Masters is interviewed briefly about his upcoming match. Match 7: Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels. I like Masters, I think he has potential that being said, i love HBK. They both give a pretty good match, nothing too flashy but solid enough. HBK wins. 8/10 Back to Flair AGAIN (PLEASE STOP). Another ad for Raw on USA. Clips of the Cena/Angle feud. Match 9: John Cena vs. Kurt Angle for the championship, which was alright, but judging by reaction to it was a tad overrated. Cena is still champ due to a disqualification on Angle 7/10. Unforgiven events have been pretty lackluster events in the last half decade or so and all in all this doesn't change that dubious streak.Overall Grade: C-

Unforgiven was just another passable PPV, some of the matches were crap.Results from the PPV:Ric Flair defeated Carlito to win his first Intercontinental Championship. Even though I'm not a fan of Flair, this has got to be better than having Calito as IC Champ.The Big Show pinned Snitsky in a good match.Matt Hardy pinned Edge in a fantastic cage match.Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch defeated The Hurricane and Rosey to win the WWE tag team titles. At last The Super Heroes have lost the titles!Trish Stratus and Ashley defeated Torrie Wilson and Victoria in a useless match.Shelton Benjamin pinned Chavo.... oh sorry Kerwin White in a fair match.Shawn Michaels pinned Chris Masters in a good match.Kurt Angle defeated WWE Champion John Cena via DQ.WWE could really need Triple H, Kane and Chris Jericho right now!Overall Grade - C+
