Seemed like a entertaining idea, but lacks the creativity and production value

You know those movies that are so bad it's good. Well this one isn't it. It's a cool idea to have well known monsters fight in a ring. And in this case 8 but the thing is, it looks more fake than wrestling. Which would still have been alright if this movie was so darn dull. The announcers and bikini babes tries to hype the fights up. But they are just so boring to watch. It's like watching a couple of drunks from a Halloween costume party wrestling with one another. And there is almost no trademark monster moves. Or using the monster weaknesses as an advantage in a fight much. It tries to have a story by having back-story for each monsters but that is the weakest part about this movie. It's so darn boring to watch and I personally didn't care. I just wanted to see monsters throw down. If it was crazy and over the top with the fights it would have at least been watchable. The director basically is a fan of monster movies and wrestling and decided to combine the two. Without any experience and far from having enough production value. It may sound cool but this is a pass.
