Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

So you're saying this was a better 80's action movie than...

Die Hard, Predator, First Blood, RAMBO First Blood Part II, Aliens, Commando, The Terminator, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, Robocop, Lethal Weapon, Tango & Cash, Big Trouble in Little China, Death Wish 3, Cobra, Conan the Barbarian, The Road Warrior, Road House, just to name a few? Yeah I thought I deserved a bit better.

Watching a hot chick who never takes her clothes off getting water boarded was so awesome:slap.

Besides, all Stallone did was recycle his RAMBO script for this.

A 5/10 for me doesn't mean a 5/10 for you.

Where did I say it was better? Please point it out in my previous post. But since you "asked" I'll respond: The Expendables was better than(from YOUR list): Robocop, Death Wish 3(snicker), Cobra, Conan, and I wouldn't really place Road House in the same category. But to each his own.

I also know what an "opinion" is, and didn't need clarification.

I never said your score was wrong, just that I didn't agree that "we deserved better."

Understand?
 
Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

Yes, to the one's in bold, especially Tango & Cash. I thought the Indy movies were adventure movies :dunno

8/10 from me :rock

They are. Which I why I didn't even bother responding to those.

:dunno

When I think of mindless 80's Action flicks, I think of:

Marked for Death
Hard to Kill
Tango and Cash
Full Contact
Kickboxer
Bloodsport
Best of the Best
Showdown in Little Tokyo
Universal Soldier
Tiger Claws
First Blood
Cobra
Commando
Predator
Red Scorpion
American Ninja
Escape from New York
I Come in Peace

I came in this movie expected to see violence, blood/guts, and one liners. And I got it. Just like I got it with Rambo two years ago. Although, I will agree with him on that, Stallone did recycle the plot of Rambo and place it in this movie. Just like most action flicks did in the 80's, ironically.

one of the biggest problems with this movie, was the annoying shaking camera, and it was hard to follow the action because of it.
This is not one of Stallone's better films..sorry,but its not

Some of you are not worthy to be men. IE: Anyone who hated this movie.

Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

Just got back from seeing this. LOVED IT!!! Easily the best movie I've seen this year. If HT makes all the Expendables, it will be very hard to pass them.
 
Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

Saw it, glad I didnt pay to see it...they rarely make good films these days

This is not one of Stallone's better films..sorry,but its not

I trust these guys, I'll wait to see it on dvd and not pay to $ee it.

(I know it's just a testosterone fest which is what i want, but don't need to pay to see it)
 
Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

More carnage than his last Rambo?

Story I could care less :lol

I just want to see people dying from lead poisoning! :yess:
 
Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

F__k 'em :lecture

The movie kicked ass! :rock

It really did. It gave me the same, wide eyed, following everything, feeling that all those previous classic action movies that I grew up with, gave me. It just felt right to me.


(Just have to say: Rourke was good in this film, when he did his monologue I hung on his every word)
 
Re: Stallone`s new movie "The Expendables"

To be honest I don't understand the dislike people have for this movie, as Bio said it gave me that wide eyed feeling again. Different taste in movies I guess but I give it a 10/10.

This movie is Citizen Kane compared to action movies of today. We should be thankful we even got this. They don't make them like this anymore. These guys are the last bastion of testosterone Hollywood has left.

Step Up 3D is more your cup of tea.
