That being said, it's not. It IS a sports movie like The Fighter and the Rocky movies. It's much more about the story than the fights. And that's all fine.

But with all the hype this movie got in here i just thought the fights were gonna be awsome.
I'm not going to argue semantics about what a martial art is or a martial art movie but I agree its a sport movie not a chop socky flick.

I really enjoyed the fight scenes especially Tom Hardy's sparring for money one but I am an MMA fan and was a practioner/fighter so I'm glad they went the realistic route (unlike Never Back Down).
