Very well executed

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This was a pretty good PPV! The main event was the dream match with The Rock and Goldberg.. That was a entertaining match... I am a big Goldberg fan, so I enjoyed it all the way... But the best match was Lesnar/Cena... They are some kick ass wrestlers, and the match was very good! The worst match was Sean O'Haire vs. Rikishi... That wasn't very good.. But it was a good PPV.. Especially if you are a Goldberg fan! If you are a Goldberg fan, make sure to check out Unforgiven, Survivor series, and Bad Blood from 2003... But there is something special about Backlash... It was Goldbergs very first match in WWE... Some of the other matches at Backlash was the six-man tag match with Triple H, Chris Jericho, and Ric Flair vs. Booker T, Shawn Michaels, and Kevin Nash.. There is also a great cat fight backstage with Stacy Kiebler and Tori Wilson.. Make sure to check that out! Enjoy folks!

Backlash was built on the shoulders of two men. Rock/Goldberg might not have been the greatest match in the world but it was entertaining none the less.Lesnar/Cena was much better than i expected. Despite what another user said Cena is the real next big thing. His wrestling talents need improvement but his character is very unique and will get him to the top of the card.Benjamin/Haas vs Guerreros was a very good tag match and the best match of the night.Now onto the negatives. Basically everything else was pedestrian with the worst being the lame 6-man tag match.Thumbs in the middle for this event leaning down slightly.

The Rock/Goldberg match was probably the best of the night it took ages for them to start but when they did it was a very intense match. The other good match or the best match was the first Team Angel/Eddie & Chavo the crowd were very dull and started to say "boring" to this match but they were all wrong cause the mat tallent of these guys was excellent and at the very amuzing end the crowd was cheering and really enjoyed the match. The 6 man tag match well I dont want to talk about that cause all I have got to say is swear words and im not allowed to do that.........why does HHH always use that sledgehammer stop it now you make me sick. Thge Big Show/Rey Mysterio I liked what Big Show did to Mysterio funny as hell. Womens match well Im silent, I hate Jazz. Lesnar/Cena good really but I hate Cena so much the rap thing isnt funny its annoying. I didnt like the raw tag match I dont like RVD and Kane together there not right together put them in a match against each other.Overall I enjoyed Backlash very much but remember Backlash isnt the best PPV of them all in the past years.

What a boring show! There is no reason to watch this generic WWE pay-per-view, unless you want to see why Vince McMahon is losing money. The entire Bill Goldberg story and the match itself came off as poorly executed and disappointing. The writers proved once again that they don't know what to do with the cruiserweights (Big Show vs. Rey Mistero Jr.). Even worse Rey was injured by a ridiculous spot involving a stretcher and the ring post. The majority of the card featured matches that will be forgotten within a few weeks, so if you miss one WWE PPV from the year 2003, make it Backlash!
