On many different threads that require comments, like forums or comment threads on YouTube or blogs or whatever, some people jump to the conclusion that if it's a WWE film, then it will be bad. I remember seeing comments for Dead Man Down, The Call, No One Lives and The Day and some people have said that once they saw the WWE logo, then they already assume that the movie is going to suck.
Now I can understand how in the past that some people dumped on The Marine, even though that movie is a real guilty pleasure of mine as I can admit the badness of it yet I still enjoy it if I take it for face value. I still remember on IMDB, some people quickly bitched about See No Evil after seeing the WWE logo on it. I can't really say what people thought of The Condemned or 12 Rounds. I hear mixed opinions about those two movies.
I can see why some people would pan some stuff like The Chaperone or Knucklehead. However, I remember watching Legendary in the past and thinking it was passable. It felt like a Lifetime/Hallmark movie, but I kind of enjoyed it. I still have yet to watch some other ones, though.
Now I know that a lot of the fare that WWE has put out is low in budget and all that stuff. I think I remember seeing some comments somewhere with people bitching about Ed Harris being in "That's What I Am" or Bruce Dern being in "Inside Out." I also think I remember seeing a comment saying that Halle Berry being in "The Call" was a, and I quote, a "step down for her career-wise." Of course, some people don't realize that WWE Studios produced and got distribution rights to some movies like The Call, The Day, Dead Man Down, etc. I am well aware of Wade Barrett and David Otunga having roles in a couple of movies I mentioned. Brodus Clay was also in No One Lives. However, I still have not seen No One Lives, but Barrett and Otunga didn't play that big of roles in the films that they were in.
"Barricade" and "The Day" didn't have any wrestlers in those movies at all, however.
One reason I asked about this is because on Facebook, I saw a post about WWE Studios and Anchor Bay Entertainment getting distribution rights to a movie called "Road To Paloma." I looked that movie up and from what I see, there are no wrestlers in the cast. I could be wrong, though.
