Too many fans seem to be blown away

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

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.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

There was another mistake on this show in the season finale. When at the final table of the World Championship of Poker, The Metador, Miami and Eddie Towne were in on a hand with the board reading... T J Q. The Metador had the made straight with 98 in the hole. Eddie had AA and Miami had TT to give her a set. After everyone checked the flop, a K came up to give Eddie the Ace high straight. On this card the t.v. reads that Eddie has a 90% chance of winning, Miami a 10% shot and The Metador with a 0%(dont quote me on the percentages). The error here is that The Metador had just as good a chance of hitting an Ace and splitting with Eddie as Miami. Did anyone else catch this?

After 2 episodes, I have to say I'm already a fan of this show.A couple of haters here, who probably don't know anything about poker and were too slow to understand what was going on, are talking badly about the show.Don't listen to them. This show has a very nice cast, is well written, and it has all the elements you'd want from an action series. Michael Madsen kicks ass as The Matador - but right away, the intrigue of seeing him fall to Eddie, Miami and Clark is too much, and you just wanna see how it will all develop.Add to this a lot of danger surrounding a cop who is after the Matador himself, trying to avenge his late brother, who was killed by the Matador, and you got a big hit! I never watched Playmakers. I heard it was good, but it turned out to be a good thing I didn't watch since ESPN's affiliation with the NFL forced that show to get cancelled.That won't happen to Tilt - this show will be a success!

What can you say about this show? Nothing good, except that the levels of terrible this show achieves are so complete it is impossible to look away. Its a train wreck of bad lighting, stilted dialog and ridiculous plot. The narration from our main character comes off as completely lame. When we are not being treated to the inner monologue of, some other character is spouting off "quality" lines such as "You play cards; you're not a card-player." The non-stop barrage of poker jargon, perhaps with some demented eye towards establishing "street cred" with the poker world is so bad it borders on self-parody.This show is mind-bogglingly bad. But, it is one of those monumental failures that you just can't stop watching. You will sit there, in a dazed stupor, wondering if there were any way the show could possibly be worse, but everything you come up with will invariably make the show better.The producers of "Tilt" have helpfully placed a warning at the beginning of each airing, presumably to prevent young people from taking up poker. I can think of no better way to ensure that a child will never want to play poker than by having them watch this show.

First of all, I don't know when Poker became a sport. I guess when all my uncle's got together on weekends to play cards they were showing off their athletic skills huh? Anyway, I digress...I have seen all of the ESPN movies and each one has been horrible, and Tilt is no exception. Bad acting, predictable story, and very low budget look just like all the rest. Plus, ESPN plugs the heck out of their movies...I swear I saw a commercial for Tilt once during every commercial break I saw on ESPN the past couple of weeks leading up to it's premier.Anyway, my advice is...don't waste your time watching this movie. Hopefully ESPN will stick to SportsCenter.
