I really don't understand? They say that the movie has every big action movie star? Where's Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme? Aside from that, I don't think anyone is going to see this movie for the amazing story. I'll probably see it just to see it
Seagal didnt want to be in it and Jean was busy

LOL.. Terminator and Predator has good writing?? no way, Terminator has one of the worst stories ever.. it has the Future happening before the Past. Connor sends back his pal to save his mom from the Terminator, but his pal fucks his mom and that baby IS John Connor - shit cant work that way.
Seeing as how time travel isn't real, I'd say there are no "rules" to it. As for the rest of your post...meh, screw it, if you think The Terminator has bad writing, then I pity you.

Also it's 'Terminator and Predator have good writing?', not "has".

I was kind of hoping it's have the "it's so bad it's good" appeal to it. It seemed like it'd be fun to see all those "bad enough dudes" mashed together, probably with a good dose of obvious cliches.

It's it's so bad it's terrible then i won't bother unless my friends drag me along ^_^

People take reviews from the papers seriously? What???! Last time I saw a papers review on anything it was Kick Ass, and the reviewer couldn't get past the fact that a 12 year old said "****" during the film and went on a massive raging fit about the fact for half a page. He also marked every other film released that day down to 2 stars at best too, even the good ones.

So yeah, don't listen to anything that anyone tells you, or at least not from the morning papers.

It's an action movie, have you really ever seen a pure action movie with really good writing?
Pulp Fiction?
Terminator 1 and 2?
Predator?
Inglorious Basterds?

OT: Yea, I can't see myself seeing this sober. Maybe a little happy sauce will make me look upon it more favorably.

... Are you on drugs or something? Have you never heard of a closed temporal loop? Or time travel being used in fiction ever? Or just time travel in general? Cos it's only been done about 1000000 times and makes perfect sense if you have half a brain.

Seriously, go and watch some time travel movies or something.

Uh, movies like the expendables are supposed to suck.

And yes, I will still watch it because it will be glorious in a cheezy manner.

Pulp fiction was a great movie, strike it from your list, its one of the must see films in your lifetime.

And also, a critics review is nothing but another persons personal opinion which does not mean jack shit, go see it yourself and come back and tell us what you thought.

Seriously, lots of people have forgotten what films are about. Too many people including many on this website are too busy trying to be well.... In a word "chic", yes its a word aimed mainly at fashion but what i by it is:
Films are supposed to be entertaining, i watch films because they entertain me. There are very few films i feel an innate need to pick flaws with and say, "zomg, that'd never happen" or something to that effect. This is why i never ever read any review on any film by someone who is not looking to be entertained. Like for example the film "dude wheres my car?" it wasn't the greatest, but it made me laugh, parts made me cringe but all in all i was entertained and didn't feel like i'd just spent 2 hours of my life watching a clock. I know alot of people who don't like it, and fair enough, but when people start citing reasons such as "bad acting" or "poor special effects" i start to wonder what it is you're really looking for?
If you want to watch an awesome film that has no flaws whatsoever, answers most questions and genuinely takes someone to remind you that the lead is an actor, not the real guy. Then you are gonna be severely limited to films like Mesrine which is epic, but its that 1 in a million film which is.
I fully intend to watch it, the die hard, terminator, crank, transporter etc etc series all entertained me, and now theres a film combining all of them? Sounds good, unplausible story? check. Over masculine cast? Check. A tonne of explosions? Check, sounds like a fun film for me and the boys to go and see with a beer. An evening of entertainment? Highly likely!

I woke up this morning and saw my morning paper. On the cover was The Expendables and it only had 1 1/2 star! This movie I thought was to be pure gold and I was so looking forward to seeing it. Question now is, if I read a bad review is this movie still worth seeing?
O and the 1/2 a star is a slap across the face. Thats worse then not having the star at all. Its like saying you could have been but you weren't. Funny those were almost the exact last words my x girlfriend said to me.
news paper reviewers are never ones to trust my friend from where I am they never reviewed predators and I went to see it and loved it I'm sure it'll be a good movie just remember don't set expectations too high on story it's an action movie

The thing you are refering to is a 'time paradox', the fact theres a label for it probably means it could happen. Infact, if we could time travel, why couldnt it?

eh... nothing could be worse than that transformers movie...

i dont see what all the hate is toward revenge of the fallen. its quite literally about a war between two factions of giant shape-shifting alien robots... were you expecting like a sixth sense or district 9 level of intelligence? if so, you need to question your own intelligence and instead of the movie's.

as for the expendables, it looks sweet.
