That's rather dissapointing, I had high hopes for this movie. Oh well better luck next time hollywood.
I normally agree with moviebob on his views but I have to disagree here. I feel like he went in with high expectations after watching the solidified awesomeness known as kick-ass a week earlier and this movie wasn't even nearly as good. I watched his review an hour before I went and saw it and came in with low expectations(Which is what I ususally have for Comic book movies) and I was entertained. It's worth watching.
The Losers wasn't bad at all. I'd recommend anyone to go see it.
There were laughs, there was action, there is a decent plot, the actors are fine.
What more do you need?

I think the Robin thing is a good Idea. Its time. However make sure he is actually young. Chris O'Donnel while a good actor, doesnt pass for a teenager. Defintly need between 12-15. Why? To fit the charecter.Elesar said:
Shia Lebouf not a good fit. But wait what is all this hate on Shia? I like Shia Lebouf, and I LIKED Bay's Transformers. (as a old school fan) I would like to see him in more movies.
Y: The Last Man? Why not? Heck put on eye patch maybe some scruffy hair on his face and bingo.
Oh one more thing. What the hell MovieBob, Showdown in Little Tokyo is probably one of the most perfect action movies ever. Hardcore action, gratuitous sex, nudity, blood, Martial arts. And How can you beat Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, and Dolf Lundren in his prime.
Robin does not make sense. Never has, never will. What we have is a dark, antisocial, introverted semi-sociopath...taking in a talkative teenager as his apprentice. It can work as comic logic because it's more fluid, but it doesn't make sense on screen. And let's not forget that the Robin-including follow up to one of the major inspirations for this series, IE The Long Halloween is largely forgotten (When was the last time you saw anyone citing Dark Victory as an inspiration?)Primus1985 said:
As for Shia, it's not a question of whether you like him or not, he can't act. I have seen him in a total of 4 movies now (Transformers 1 and 2, Indiana Jones 4 and Eagle Eye) and in EVERY one, he was a variation of the same character (skipping over for the moment that the character his "acts" as is INFURIATING). Hence, putting him in an adaptation of a dark intellectual and deep comic wouldn't work well.
And an eyepatch? Have you read Y: The Last Man at all. Because I've read every single goddamn issue and Yorick never once had an eyepatch. Rose had an eyepatch.
Meh, I was actually looking forward to this. Deep down I knew it's going to turn out to be a piece of crap.
On the topic of buying tickets to sneak into better movie at the end there, I'm gonna come clean. A few of my friends and I bought tickets to Paul Blart so we could sneak into Watchmen. It was totally worth it.
Wouldn't BATGIRL be more akin to Hit Girl? You know, young, female and able to beat people up? I mean, leaving aside from the fact that Millar based Hit Girl ON the Cassandra Cain Batgirl in the first place...
And on the upside, Cassandra Cain would work pretty damn well in Nolan'verse, what with being a silent assassin and all. (Of course, this would assume Nolan could utilize any female characters without killing them or making them into a vehicle for protagonist angst... Never mind.)

oh my god you guys, i've always watched moviebob BEFORE or after i went to see movies he's reviewed. AND always agreed with him.
However, on THIS movie, you just went the complete, absolutely horrible other way.
This movie is SILLY. Yes, but i think thats the point. For a pg13 movie that wouldn't let you see (much) blood, or people dying, this movie was fucking KICKASS.... and that's the only reference i'd make to that other movie. which, i fucking loved... but
THE LOSERS
it's FUCKING AWESOME. Funny, kinda dark, action-y as all movies should be. I DRAGGED friends and other family members to go see it, and NO ONE,
not even the ones who despise action movies, said it was ANYTHING but short of AWESOME.
that is all. xD

go watch the goddamn movie, and start using paragraphs instead of just one big block of text.Yancyboy said:
the movie IS good. just this ONCE, ignore what movie bob is saying.
I respectfully disagree on the point of Avatar being better than Star Trek. Neither movie is particularly "intelligent", but I feel Avatar failed fundamentally as a movie; it's pretty, and that's literally it. I don't take issue with the plot; cliches can work, but for that, it would need a good script and characters that weren't enormous bores. Star Trek, meanwhile, has great dialog, interesting dynamics between its cast, a mostly clever story (at least in how it ties itself with past Trek continuity), and is just overall a far more entertaining movie. At least in my eyes.
