Cringe-watching Cliché

This was a cliché after another cliché. We've all seen a bunch of similar movies and this script followed them from beginning to end, nothing fresh, no credibility at all.

I'm sorry, but a child can write a better movie. The writing was so bad... Nobody can find anything that happened in this movie realistic. The fighter, the daughter, the relationship between the characters, the development of the story... It was cringe-watching!

I don't know why the cast signed to do this movie, they probably thought they were going to do "Million Dollar Baby" or "The Wrestler", but this is a crappy film!

Everybody could go into details regarding the stupidty of the film, but it's not worth the time. I can't even believe the IMDB score of this movie! Who voted? The filmmakers?

What a waste of time!

Agreed. It was so predictable. 2/10

Yeah it was poor. It seemed to be an amalgamation of Rocky 3 and 5. I was expecting a lot more

What does "cringe-watching" mean since you're using it as an adjective?

Yes, 7.5 is an abysmal joke. I saw this film a year ago and just visited this page to see how far below 7 it had sunk.
7.5? Is it all "special people?" This film is almost a comedy skit-- the cliches are so worn that if they were a pair of shoes your feet would get wet in the rain when you wore them.
