Go figure.KarolYeah I don't get all the reviews saying it's whip smart meta-fiction; to me it has nothing worthy to say about the present movie culture except what we have already long known. It's a shallow horror picture, albeit one with a pretty unique premise behind it. But you know what? Not every unique idea is a great idea. It is like you said entertaining, though, and all in it's a decent enough flick. 3/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJosh 892 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I watched Thunderball for the first time. Man, this movie is awesome! It starts with Bond punching a man in a dress in the face, escaping in a jetpack, and ends after jumping from a boat that is going like 500mph and flying through the air tugged on a cable by an airplane. Not to mention making love to a woman under water somehow....a ton of underwater scenes that are quite marvelous and of course a top notch John Barry score. Sweeeeeeeeet!

Matt C 454 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Expendables 2I went in expecting to hate this (like I did the first), but this is just a hoot to watch. The movie just throws plot and logic out of the window, and it's better for that. Some of the puns and one-liners are groan-worthy and/or were spoiled in the trailers. But if you're looking for mindless, bloody action 1980s style, then you'll probably dig this. Not enough Jet Li or Nan Yu action either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmm 91 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 You could see they blew all their budget on the opening action sequence though. Take away the old timers trying to have one last laugh angle and it's a pretty damn shoddy movie all around, but as it is it's still acceptable I guess. And yes there definitely wasn't enough Jet Li. His 10 second fight scene was the best of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your shit straight, Merciful K!Think of this way. 50% isn't an "average" grade, its a bad one right? I basically gave the film a 60%, which isn't good but very average.

The Phantom can be a little rough sometimes, but I wondered if maybe that was an intentional decision given his character. Also the two producers weren't always in sync.

But I expect it to at least have some kind of ingenuity or creativity when it comes to the action scenes, and having the classic old timers do them as a delicious icing on the cake. The opening sequence had some of this, but everything after just lacked any pulse and was utterly reliant on its faded stars. The movie would also have been much better served without the whole po-faced Liam Hemsworth/the chinese lady side of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just so ludicrously overdone, that it kills any sympathy for Mr. Miley Cyrus' character and the rest of the Expendables.I thought Nan Yu, even though she barely stood out, helped break up the excess testosterone from time to time. It felt like she was being groomed for Stallone's possible love interest, but they curtailed that fortunately. She was pretty badass in the few action scenes she had.
