Warrior top 250???

I value and appreciate the imbd top 250 very much. For the most part I agree with most the movies on the list, maybe not the particular order but most the movies in this list deserve to be there, and most of the movies that I think should be in there are 7.7.-7.9 which is reassuring to know that some other movies I love are that close to being there. Warrior is NOT one of these movies. It is an average movie, not bad but not amazing. This movie is a 6.8-7.5 range which is a GOOD movie. There is nothing wrong with that score a lot of great movies have scores like this, but TOP 250?????? HOW?????? Maybe I was just expecting something much better because of the rating but I don't know I was disappointed. Rocky is a very similar movie and Rocky is in every way more superior. I can't believe this movie is higher rated than Rocky. IT'S ROCKY!!!! Probably the greatest sports/underdog movie ever made. The script, the acting, the emotion, the characters in Rocky is almost perfect. I really hope this movie slides more and more down the top 250 until it is gone. I'm not trying to be a dick and bash this movie but the top 250 is sacred to film buffs, it's a great guideline for us to find new movies to watch and compare and discuss which movie is better. Warrior should never be in a conversation of this caliber. Warrior right now is close to movies like Platoon, Trainspotting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Into the Wild on the top 250 and all of these murder Warrior in every aspect of filmaking. I hate to be a dick to loyal fans of this movie but I can't help it. If someone came up to me and told me Warrior is better than Platoon I would not trust their judgment on movies really. I don't even think this movie deserves a fair judgement for me to discuss WHY I DID NOT ENJOY THE MOVIE! It's an okay film but a pure joke for the top 250.

I enjoyed Warrior more than many classics in the Top 250. People have different taste and opinions. No need to tl;dr about it.

This movie only ended up at the top 250 because it had US marines and Tom Hardy was a war hero. Go murica go!!

You might not try to be a dick, but you are a dick.

I LOVE that this is still in top 250. In fact in top #200! Haha, eat it, OP and all you pretentious fools who argues it's only there because of MMA lovers. I'm by no means a MMA lover. I'm a movie lover and this hits home and tugs at your heart strings, especially for those of us who have brothers. But nOoOo, you have to be a MMA lover to love this movie - Dumb pretentious hipster talk. It's so much more than a generic sports movie and I bet half of you bunch haven't even seen Raging Bull, but are just mentioning it, cause it's a classic by Scorsese. Warrior is a modern day classic.

People have different opinions. There's no need to be a pretentious douchebag about it.

Caesar. Is. Home.

Man, i hate to hear that. I absolutely loved Warrior. I think it's probably the best sports movie since the original Rocky, except for perhaps Rocky Balboa. Given time, I think it will be a classic. Just my opinion, of course.
