Fresh and Exciting

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Who wants to watch a competition that has no winner? Especially when the contestant loses simply to prove to the audience that it is possible. How else do you explain being ahead in points and having a solid dish that gets crushed by a fancy piece of toast and a bowl of muddy looking soup? AB was the only one to criticize his dish as not being uni forward enough, and AB is the one who wants everyone to know it is possible to lose his clever gauntlet. Save yourself the frustration and give this whole show a wide berth!

This road to Iron Chef simply doesn't seem to be quite as challenging as Next Iron Chef was. Bring back Next Iron Chef.
