M. Night Shyamalan was considered good at one point too. I love Shaun of the dead and Hot fuzz, lets just hope this technicolour vomit is a minor trip on his otherwise stellar career.SomeBritishDude said:
The Expendables looks like such a badass movie. I'm going to see it with the exact same expectations I had for the A-Team, GIVE ME FUN!
Really, I was expecting this to happen. If an audience got to choose either bad-ass muscular men and blood or an action comedy made for video game, anime and comic book fans, most would go to the blood fest.
It's image and street credibility, and even if it was written by Stallone, people would see it.
So, I'm gonna go to the cinema, watch it and enjoy it. Possibly buy the DVD when it comes out, but enjoy the ride while it goes.

I could point out a couple reviews or just point one big angry finger at the 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, or I could just keep banging my head against a wall until my mind excepts your ignorance *ponders*Nerf Ninja said:
Yay lets all go see the expendebles. which will probably be dragged down by some truly terrible cast choices. when there shoving randy coutoure and steve austin in a movie you can tell there just ringing money out of every corner they can find
really the public opinion can't be held as a benchmark for how good a film is.
Put it this way. transformers 2 grossed more then inception
Avatar is a prime example of what is going on. people want to see as much bang for their buck as possible. However if you get past all the special effects and everything else what your left with is a dry product. It baffles me that people don't want to think when they go to the thetre.
District nine and inception were both ferared to be to intellegent for public audiance. I itch to see somthing "Too intelligent" I want to be challenged mentally. while the average movie goes just wants to sit in a thetre and watch nothing
I'm not a snob or a hipster but forgive me if i want to go see a movie attempting to be diffrent and continue the long overdue adaptation of smaller gem graphic novels. while mannaging the monumental task of hashing a narritive out of what amounts to video game refrences, rather then an obvoius cash in

Jeez, this thread is really starting to make some of you guys seem like a bunch of assholes. It's ridiculous! I have not seen either film and I doubt once I have that I will call them "vomit". Just because you want to watch the expendables, it doesn't make you an adrenaline induced asshole and just because you want to watch Scott Pilgrim doesn't make you a hipster asshole, but if you start talking crap about the other film just because it's not your "thing" THAT makes you a hipster/adrenaline induced asshole. There's my opinion ( like anyone cares ).
This pleases me greatly.wrecker77 said:
I am a bit upset MovieBob reviewed Scott Pilgrim instead though.
Dammit. I knew that sub par peice of shit would do better than Scott Pilgrim. So what if it has good action stars, it was completley sub par, I know no one expected this to have a great story, but even the actiopn was fucking sub par. AHH FUCKING AHHH!!! I need something to calm me down.
fuck. As a Canadian, I refuse to stand for this! To arms Canada! For once an amazing piece of popculture has been attributed to us and it's not ghastly horrifying(a.k.a Justin Beiber) Even though we face near insurmountable odds(Jet Li, Jason Stathom, the Govenator, Stallone, etc) and we may have sort of lame reinforcements(Michael Cera) We can do this!
off topicish: I just started to read the comic book, and OMG it is amazing! my favorite character is easily Joeseph.(kim's cowerker's gay roomate)

I've not seen a single advert for the film. You'd think some of that $60 million would have gone on, you know, LETTING PEOPLE KNOW IT EXISTS. That said it seems like the kind of film that will probably do better on dvd rather than cinema. Kinda dumb releasing it alongside the biggest dumbest action movie for ages...
