The Expendables sucked??? Will you still see it?

[Reveras]

Let's be serious, the critics can go shove it, I'm not going to that movie for a Hamlet performance, I'm going there cuz I wanna see shit blow up.

 

[Nazulu]

Damn, I was hoping this would be a classic. I thought with so many famous directors they would at least try to make it great. Now I'm hoping it will be dumb fun like Dynamite Warrior.

Predator? Bad.

Does not compute. How the hell can it be bad and awesome at the same time?

In the words of Noah "Spoony" Antwiller, internet reviewer of note:

"You see, movies don't necessarily have to be good to be awesome: When you hear that George Romero or Bruce Campbell's made a movie, you're pretty much obligated to go see it, not because you know it's gonna be a good movie, and certainly not because it's going to be any kind of artistic achievement, but because it's gonna be fucking awesome!"

Basically it.

Personally, I'll take awesome over good any day.

Guess we use the word differently. However, Predator did have some artistic achievement, it was interesting in it's own special way as well as having the awesome action scenes.

 

[WickedSkin]

I'll see it and it'll be awesome. Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren... even that should tell you it's going to be great.

 

[solidstatemind]

I hate Sylvester Stallone. He ruins pretty much every movie he's in, with the exception of the original 'Rocky'. So, no, I won't be seeing this-- probably won't even rent it. Which is sad, because I like Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Terry Crews, and even Bruce Willis.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

It's an action movie, have you really ever seen a pure action movie with really good writing?

Really? I wouldn't say that about it. Keep in mind, I love Predator, it's probably one of my favourite films, but I didn't find anything particularly artistic about it, at least none that I saw.

The way I saw it, the tactics and weapons the Predator used against the elites as well as the alien itself was kinda original. Also, I really like how they took some of the shots of the bush land, the camera angles and music created a creepy atmosphere of being stuck alone in the jungle, everything just worked so well together and that made this movie epic to me.

Yes it will be shit, but in a good way. I love stupid action films... It better have some one-liners in it though, otherwise I will be very disappointed.

 

[flipsalty]

I know it's probably going to be a pile of shit, but look at the cast! C'mon!

That's exactly why it sucks. It's clearly a movie that's trying to ride on the laurels of its famous names. Also all the ads have been about the names in the movie rather than the substance of the movie itself.

 

[Xojins]

Of course it sucked; the entire point of the movie is to watch all the badass actors fuck some shit up.

 

[funksobeefy]

I'm honestly more surprised you thought it was going to be a good movie....

 

[himemiya1650]

They probably slammed it cause it didn't have a decent story, but I gave up on watching movies for their stories a long while ago. Gonna watch it just cause it has everyone in it.

 

[Jark212]

I'll be seeing it, I love mindless 80's shoot em' ups...

 

[David_G]

Yes, will watch. Like others have said, this movie won't be watched because it has a good story, it's because all of the action stars we know and love, and this movie shouldn't be rated because of its story, it should be rated because of its "Fun factor". How much fun you had while watching it.

Some games should be rated like that, you don't like No More Heroes because of its story but because of its Fun factor.

 

[Necromancer1991]

Look, I was expecting one of two things to occur, it would either be kinda successful, or become Hindenburg 2.0

IMDb has a rating for "The Expendables" at 8.5 out of 10. Maybe you just got one bad review.
