The Expendables
« on: January 12, 2010, 02:02:32 AM »
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Austin, and Randy Couture all in one movie.

Yes, they use an AA-12.

Yes, Stallone pulls off some CAS-style shooting with an SAA.

Yes, I shall see this.   =D

I want to have enthusiasm for a blow-em' up movie... but I felt a resounding "meh" from the trailer.

Lots of cheese in that movie.

The trailer showed the entire film, I think. What's left to see?

Looks like a great "guy night" movie.

Eric Roberts as a black hat. Gravy.

Mediocre? Probably. But I am one of those guys who tortures himself with Sci-Fi no-budget originals, so...

Arnie is in it? I thought The Governator's movie career was on hold while he was in office?

And Steve Austin? The Six Million Dollar Man? Isn't Lee Majors a bit "over the hill" for this sort of thing?

Randy Who?

I never said it was going to be a great movie--only that I would definitely see it. :)  There are plenty of bad movies out there that people still like "just 'cause."  :P

Looks like they raided the action-movie-cliche closet and took everything.

Didn't see Schwarzenegger in the trailer.   Did I miss him?

Does the villain remind anyone of Hugo Chavez?  Other than me, that is.

The only actual tough guy of the bunch.  I'm sure his acting is cringe worthy.

Maybe he has a big poster of King Conan on his throne from the end of the movie.

No, Jack, it IS in Sacramento; but it is acting, not doing.
