Watched it lastnight with my boy and came away thinking I got my moneys worth. Terry Crews shotgun was worth the price of admission alone lol.
Terry Crews should be in every action flick.
Just once I’d like to see someone in a movie do up their chin strap when they hop on a bike.
The movie has it’s faults but so what, SHIT GOT BLOWED UP! Did I mention the shotgun?
Yall this movie was so bitchin. I actually want to see it again

No, honestly I don’t think it was. It was supposed to be an action movie, not the shittiest-written movie in the history of movies.
If it was supposed to be cheesey, it’d be called a “parody,” but you all told me it wasn’t.[/quote]
Dude, Scary Movie is a parody. This was an homage to all great action flicks of the past. The dialogue was purposefully cheesy and the script purposefully made little sense. It was all about nonstop ass-kickery. When there have been “straight” movies like “Be Cool”, “Predators”, “High Tension” and “The Ring 2” I don’t know how you can say this is the worst written movie ever. Bring on Expandables 2!!!

MOFO,… I’m predicting this movie is number 3 behind Scott Pilgram and that Julia movie. But they will get my Loot. Like I stated before they may even get it twice. This is a swan song.

You would be wrong…
1 - The Expendables $35,030,000
2 - Eat Pray Love $23,700,000
3 - The Other Guys $18,000,000
4 - Inception $11,370,000
5 - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World $10,525,000

Let’s do some math: 23.7 million plus 10.525 million equals 34,225,000. Looking at The Expendables 35,030,000 - 34,225,000 = Blew their shit away like Crews stuck his AA 12 shotgun up their rectum and kept firing til the clip ran empty.
I thought it was okay.
Stallone can create decent movies, so my expectations for plot and duologue were maybe higher than they ought to have been. And much of the acting was just terrible.
I think it should have either been more clever (one liners that are actually funny, and driven by good character performances: not stilted acting) or gone the other way and had a more serious plot.
I agree with the “mailed in” comment. It was cool to see that much testosterone on screen all at once, but you still gotta do more than just show up…

I guess you have to be a certain type or have a certain mind frame going into it. I just know I have not had this good of a time at the Movies in YEARS, YEARS. And I’ve seen some really good movies over the years. But nothing had me yelling “oh SHIT” or “DAMN” AS many times as this flick did. Guess I’m just a big ol kid at heart.
But be honest man. You want to shoot that AA-12 Shot gun dontcha…come on you and Irish can admit that. Oh well it will make enough loot so plan on a EXP-2. Until then MACHETE!!!

Yes. It actually inspired me to take the girl and the guns out to BLM land and shoot some shit up redneck-style. But I don’t have anything as cool as the AA-12.

Dude, I’m a big time Highlander fan. I own all the Highlander movies on DVD.
I can watch Highlander 2 and not commit suicide. But it shouldn’t have been made.
I can’t believe there is so much hating on an Action Film, that is exactly what it is supposed to be. Did you really go into this moving thinking it would be a fucking mini-shakespeare or something? It’s a fucking Action Film.
I sure as hell don’t go strolling into Hamlet expecting Terminator type play. No I expect Hamlet. You guys are beyond retarded if all you can come up with is, well the plot wasn’t very interesting.
Plots in action movies are supposed to be straight forward. There is a bad guy, and there is a good guy (played by a cold nuetral guy that does it for the money than redeems himself by knocking out a dictator and a Rogue CIA agent because he loves the Daughter of the Dictator). And really who saw it coming that the girl was the dictator’s daughter.

I blame Professor X, if he wouldn’t have ever liked Spill.com I think most of these retards would have some sense to do what they should be doing. Lifting up their skirts grabing their imaginary balls and pretending like they are blazing through 100 Latin American Warrior Soldiers with black and yellow face paint on with an AA-12 Gauge Shotgun. Of course you have to do the manditory, jumping over the couch like you are Crews and pretending to blow up shit behind you while making sound effects.

I’m pretty sure I introduced Spill.com to T-Nation. But after I got Prof.X hooked, everyone else followed after X.

Fixed.
Made it about 3:00 minutes into the spill.com review before I got so pissed off I had to X out of it. Fuck those guys, this movie was amazing.
How the fuck was this movie amazing? Jesus christ.
Just came back from seeing this. I enjoyed it for what it was worth… the $6 I paid. That was one bad script. And where the fuck was a little bit of character development for Terry Crews, before he SPOILER starts blowing everyone up with his gun?
This movie was good, though, because they didn’t TRY to be anything more than what it was. A bunch of old-school ass-kicking actors, blowing the shit out of people.
It was a great ACTION movie with only ACTION in it and nothing else… but ‘amazing’? Come the fuck on.
Another over-hyped movie by Wol.
I just saw it last night. It was OK. I didn’t think it was great like most people in this thread. I was expecting a better movie overall. I’d put it in the “wait till it comes out on DVD” category.
