AMERICAN GLADIATORS IS THE SUCK.
I am not gonna lie, I was kinda psyched for this show, thinking it might be half decent. Who didn't like the original American Gladiators? That shit was more popular then baseball. It had the right amount of athleticism and cheesiness. So I just viewed the new American Gladiators that has been getting heavily advertised. It is an absolute disaster...so bad that you better watch next week cause it will probably be the last episode before its canceled. So why is it so bad? The main reason is editing. This is a beef I have with many new action films lately, and the reason why I HATE those fucking Bourne movies. Why must every action sequence move at 1000 miles per hour and have so man fast cuts. Is it purposely to make sure no one has a fucking idea whats going on. Call me an old man, but just slow things the fuck down. The old American Gladiators was filmed like a sporting event and that gave it some credibility. The old Gladiators didn't have cheesy dramatic music and terribly fake sound effects. The irrelevant Hulk Hogan hosts the show but someone has drained him of all his 80's charisma. Besides him is Layla Ali who hasn't mastered the English language quite yet and shows about as much emotion as her father....present day. This show is a train wreck for every standpoint.
