Don’t pretend you like action movies now, Andy. You probably won’t even buy A-team on DVD. Damn Twi-hard.

Damn right. I’m on a private torrent site for a reason, haha. I should stop this shit seeing how I’m applying to some federal agencies!
Saw Scott Pilgrim and it was much much better than the Expendables.
Saw a leaf blow across the street and it was much much better than the Expendables.

It got great reviews, but fighting Emos mmmm I’ll wait for Cable on that one. I’m to old a bunny to get excited to see that.
Oh I seen that same Leaf .

I want to believe that. But the commercials and trailers don’t help.
I really can’t believe how little support it got considering all the great reviews.

Do your research. Emos didn’t pop out of nowhere.
Fuck…
Why do some of you guys bitch about dialogue and character development in what is obviously meant to be a homage to the great action movies of the last 30 years…? Are you actually so far up your own ass that you can’t just accept that some movies don’t thrive to beat Tarantino and Shyamalan on dialgogue and plot twists?
It was the kind of movie I haven’t enjoyed since I was about 10. Simple story line where a badass(in this case, a bunch of badasses) takes on some dickheads and wins while cutting down lots of pawns and blowing shit up left, right and centre. The baddies always have terrible aim and the good guys happen to have awesome aim and never miss. Some of the fight scenes had me smiling and laughing they were so badass.
It was a film made to salvage some testosterone in hollywood.
Only gripe was there was no tits.
I had a 22oz steak not long before seeing it though so I happened to already be having a good day when I saw it.
Awesome stuff. Haven’t enjoyed a movie like that in such a long time. Statham stole the show.

i agree completely. Because when I was 10, these were the kind of movies i was into.
But making a Frankenstein’s monster out of a bunch of action movie scripts does not make for a classic, or even an homage to a classic. It’s just a laundry list of cliches.
Test yourself. Sit there, and think of each of the main characters names. What was the name of the island they were on for most of the movie? How many expendables were there?

Hahahah , ok oh man. You just Made the other guys point. Test? Hahahah I couldn’t tell you the name of any character in Predator, Inception, Conan movies any of them hell or any other sly movie other than Rocky.
I can’t even tell you what Part of South America they were in for Predator.
I can kinda understand this movie was a throw back, and even though they will make a sequel this is the end of an era for the Action for the sake of Action type of flick.
But yeah I’m willing to bet that your test would come up a fail for almost all these types of Movies because people go to these to go Oooo ahhhh DAMN an OUCH not remember names.

Wait, are you saying it was a good movie because the characters, settings stuck in your mind or a bad one?

I measure a movie on whether I’d watch it again, and whether I’d get it on DVD. And “somehow” this gets the vote. I would watch it again, I would get it on DVD. I don’t care that it’s cheesy, corn or whatever. Just a no nonsense movie where it’s ZERO to KILL in less than 60 seconds.
