Watch Andre the Giant For Free

Wonderful character development!

The Worst Film Ever

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This was a documentary that kept up all the fictitious pretences of the WWE universe. Very disappointing.

I've always hated "professional" wrestling as an adult, but I was young and ignorant enough to have occasionally seen Andre on my territory's TV stations and I was fascinated by him. As they said, it was just enough sightings to keep you interested and wondering. This was a very touching tribute to him and what I most liked about it was that they don't try to hide the fact that wrestling is fake and all his fights were staged. Seeing Hulk Hogan and others tearing up over their fellow actor's death was very emotional and real.

Masterful look at the man and myth that pretty much does everything it needed to. The one tiny caveat I have is that it would have perhaps been beneficial to show the painful final few matches he had just to give a sense of how far he'd fallen, but I get that they didn't want to dwell too much on the sad end. Plenty of tear jerking moments.

One time in the 80s I ran into Andre in Quebec. We got in an argument over blue vs bleu. I had to give him 7 powerbombs onto an order of hulkaroos and a figure 4. After he tapped we went out for beers and everything was cool. Good guy, good documentary.
