AJ-enova Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Who else thinks its gonna be the most awesome film of the year!? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Wish I was going to go see it on opening night. Oh well. Also, trim your sig down to a black bar with the words "They're Coming 2010" as its only text, before a mod (probably DarkeSword) changes it to a link instead of a picture due to its size...

AJ-enova Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think It's a shame that Kurt Russell, Jean Claude Van Damme and even fucking steven seagal turned down roles for it - would've made it complete! I shrunk my signature happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think It's a shame that Kurt Russell, Jean Claude Van Damme and even fucking steven seagal turned down roles for it - would've made it complete!

Fishy Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Awwwwwww man. Steven Seagal turned it down? He was the only person missing from my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ-enova Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hmmm according to Wikipedia: Kurt Russell turned it down cause he 'wasn't interested in being in any ensemble films' JCVD turned it down because he didnt like his character Seagal turned it down cause he didnt get on with one of the producers or summit I'm kinda glad they left Chuck Norris out, he gets enough praise XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dual Dragons Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I think It's a shame that Kurt Russell, Jean Claude Van Damme and even fucking steven seagal turned down roles for it - would've made it complete!I shrunk my signature happy? Segal lol He wouldn't fit in at all IMO. Jean Claude would though.. But he chose to do his mediocre drama instead. This movie is gonna kick ass!!!

Fishy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Segal lol He wouldn't fit in at all IMO. That's why it would've be hilariously awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dual Dragons Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 That's why it would've be hilariously awesome. When you put it that way, it would be kind of entertaining, he could be the first one to die or something. But he'd never agree to that as he seldom even accept taking a hit on screen lol.

JCvgluvr Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Aw, no Segal, Van Damme, or Chuck Norris? Oh well, they'll probably get to be new characters in The Expendables Melee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Saw it. I'll just repost what I said on facebook: The plot was cliche, acting was terrible, the humor consisted entirely of bad one liners. The movie was devoid of any depth whatsoever and was pretty much just an excuse to have a bunch of macho dudes running around killing each other. In other words, it was the most perfect movie ever. The action was incredibly well written and shot. The choreography was great and there were lots of little memorable moments. And it seemed like every other scene was some action piece (which is a good thing, because I didn't pay to listen to people talk). You eventually find out that even Jason Statham's girl-drama side story is just an excuse for another action scene. My only complaint was that there was a little bit of fast-cut/shaky-cam going on during a car chase and Jet Li's fight.. but it's tolerable compared to a lot of other films that try to do the same. I shouldn't knock the acting too much. It was just... all over the place. On one end of the extreme, there was a moment where Dolph Lundgren was laughably bad, and on the other end, Mickey Rourke had a fantastic monologue that was rather moving. In general, everyone acts about as well as you'd normally expect from them... Which makes sense, given that they are basically playing the same characters they've played dozens of times already. Also, Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo was one of the best throw away jokes I've ever seen in a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Terry Crews rapid firing shotgun was fucking loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinewav Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 XD LAWL!The testoterone in the Arny and Stallone scene was too much! And Terry Crews rapid firing shotgun was fucking loud! Don't forget Bruce Willis! I wish there had been more Bruce and Ahhnold... but I'm also a big fan of Jet Li and Jason Statham, so I was pretty satisfied. Also, I believe that shotgun was an AA-12, which is INSANE. I've been wanting to see one of those things in an action movie for years. Check it out: (fyi, I think Future Weapons is a terrible show, but they have some of the best footage of this thing, and they explain it pretty well.)

herograw Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 It was sort of terrible, but worth watching for the nostalgia factor. I think the fight scenes were good but the constant, relentless shaky cam really detracted from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 So this movie was bad? Or Good in a bad way? Or so bad it was worth it? Since before it's release, I've contended that this movie never had to be good to be successful just based on who's in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your milage may vary, but it's probably one of those movies you'll enjoy whether you think it's good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
