The movie "NEVER BACK DOWN" bad for MMA?

To me... The previews makes it look like it is a street fight. Also makes it seem that the main character joins a gym and comes back in a year later and kicks ass. Highly unlikely.

Anyways, I thought we were trying to shed the image of street under ground fighting? Thoughts

Anyone actually gonna see this pile of puke?

It gonna get a bunch of fags to start thinking that they can MMA fight, and hurt themselves. I probably won't be wasting my time/money on this crap.

It depends actually.

I saw the movie.
Good (for MMA):
In the movie, the way the guy gets good is through hella-training like you would see at any MMA gym. That is one up for MMA, because it shows hard work in order to succeed, not just instant fighter.
It may inspire some young folk to go out and train hard, and become great MMA fighters.
Like most MMA gyms, the one in the movie showed consequence for street fighting, the protagonist got kicked out of his gym for fighting on the street.

The bad:
People are dumb, and like what happened with fight club, there are going to be groups of idiots who did not understand the movie, and beat the shit out of each other.

The movie is bad, PERIOD. It hinders people from actually watching good, intelligently made movies, because they watch that crap instead. MMA being in it is therefore not a plus in my book.

MMA will in peoples mind equal the cheezyness displayed in the movie!

People are already doing that. Every time I look for mma videos on Youtube, there are tons of videos of mouth breathers doing MMA moves on each other in their backyard.

I IMDB'd (yes that is a verb) it lots of people gave it amazing reviews, this worries me. Also they appernetly shows kicks to the back of the head of a downed opponent, which is ridiculous. I for one shall be avoiding it like the plague
