I am with you on that one I hate it when he shows such disrespect for people when they like a movie that he doesn't like. I don't get how people like him don't understand that scott pilgrim has a minority niche and fanbase. And movies like the expandables where just made for a larger audience to enjoy.Hubilub said:
I mean him. Movie bob the guy who made a whole video about how nintendo is to many gamers there security blanket is saying people are dribbling morons for having nostalgia! Rgh. If that man lived in my neighborhood I'd give him and earfull right now!
is there any more of a polarizing movie?! i've seen like 10 reviews and everything is love or hate!
Something tells me that you were a little bias when it came to this movie, seeing as how it is destroying Scott Pilgrim in the box office, but no matter how bias you were, you are right.
The Expendables looks like a bad movie that just signed on a bunch of big named action stars in hopes that their names alone will attract people. Hell, why do you think Stallone's name is even on that list despite just being a cameo, because people who liked Die Hard or his other films are going to come see it for him and become disappointed.
As for me, I think I'll avoid the theatre for now. I'm not a fan of Scott Pilgrim and I'd rather keep the amount of braincells I have left by not seeing the other popular stuff out there. I think I'll stick with the Redbox outside of my CVS for now.

Sounds to me like you've got an unmentioned ax to grind Bob o.o Don't get me wrong, I love your reviews (not that saying this matters, since I doubt anyone goes through and reads each and every one of the comments after their videos, that's silly xD) but it sounds to me like you went into this movie expecting something amazing and got fingered in the theater. In my opinion the movie was great because I went into it knowing it wasn't supposed to be taken serious. It was great because of how silly and over the top it go. And on the subject of lack of gore? I'm pretty sure a man's middle torso EXPLODED on camera in the first five minutes of the movie. And the gun fights? I recall Terry Crews charging down a hallway with an AA-12 automatic shotgun, turning at LEAST 12 guys into a nice goopy mess all over the screen as he ran in to save some of the team.
Sorry Bob, gotta go against you here this time, it wasn't a ground breaking movie, but it was something enjoyable. Not Oscar worthy, not new or original. Just Enjoyable. Not like its made out to be in the review where I get the distinct feeling you hate it for reasons you didn't actually mention.
But that's just my two cents.

While it is good of you to fill in the role of a shit-slinging primate I have to break it to you but the rest of us have matured past the point of going to zoo the for 'shits and giggles'. Seen as you are apparently 26 might I suggest that you also grow the fuck up?Charisma said:
Yeah, but it wasn't even all that good regardless. Even if it wasn't supposed to be aping the 1980's machismo it has strutting around onscreen, there are just way better action movies out there. Its a paint by numbers action flick the makers set on auto pilot and then promptly forgot about. Expendables just isn't interesting.Krat Arona said:

Sorry I know its not about The Room but you left yourself right open for that.

I guess I should also confess to dropping spiders down the backs of girls' shirts, urinating in peoples' drinking water, and purposely watching old Adam Sandler movies.
Also telling people to grow up and boasting about being "mature" as if that's some kind of measurable accomplishment.
I'm willing to bet it's because of different expectations.allyhewitt said:
I wanted a 'leave your brain at the door and watch a bit of baddassery bookended by explody things' kinda movie so i was suitably satisfied. If a reviewer goes in ready to take the film at all seriously then of course it'll be disappointing.
To give an example, Stallone goes back for the girl. Are we given a good reason for character development? No. Do i give a crap? No. Why? Because the point of the movie is brainless action fun.
i disagree with everything that was stated in this vid. EVERYTHING! just because you have this series doesn't mean your opinion matters so quit deluding yourself. everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you are constitutionally allowed to be wrong if you want to be, but it doesn't mean that anyone cares, it just means we can't go about genetic cleansing just because someone doesn't agree with us. i'm glad you picked a side but you should really keep it to yourself. reviews are meant to weigh both pro's and con's, all i have been hearing in your past few vids is the buthurt whining of a little girl. get back to being a professional or loose viewers. if you want to voice things like this then do it in a tongue-in-cheek way with ample irony to state your point.
Assuming most of the people in this thread watched The Expendables and not Scott Pilgrim because of the BS is trailers. You all had the reason to watch Scott Pilgrim but you watched this crap. Don't believe me? http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.225951-Scott-Pilgrim-gets-dominated?page=1 Almost half of the first page said they saw The Expendables and not Pilgrim. Thanks Escapist, ya Hippocrates.
