The Last Stand ( The first film Arnold Schwarzenegger has took a main role in since Terminator 3 - R - General

[QUOTE=NOR_92;39253989]As I stated earlier - the issue doesn't lie in lack of seriousness or "artsiness" - it's lacking in the regard that it churns out the same old bland, pandering shit you've seen a hundred times before for huge profit. I have nothing against fun, light-hearted movies. In fact, most of the time that's the kind of film I want to watch. Pinning the "serious, artsy, brooding and intellectual" stereotype to me and rating me stupid doesn't aid you in this argument[/QUOTE] wow some people make movies to make a profit wow who would have thought

It's not up to you to decide if they suck or not.This is like art man!Some people like it some don't.

red letter media said it best "Fuck you! It's January!" all the schlock you can eat from january-may

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;39256276]i'm just sick of action movies that suck is that so bad[/QUOTE] These are only trailers and your description is too limited to give us any idea why exactly you dislike movies of this type so much. But yes we get it, you are angry that movies like this are being made that offend your well-refined tastes and are like monuments of attrocities that insult your intellegience.

[editline]17th January 2013[/editline] ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The best kind of action schlock is the "so bad its good" kind and honestly judging from trailers alone I'm seeing a pretty forgettable movie

[QUOTE=smeismastger;39256432]So how old were you again?[/QUOTE] old enough to not be dazzled so easily by "lol old action movie stars lol cheesy humor and callbacks"

more like "watch old washed up action stars desperately grasp for relevance again" [editline]17th January 2013[/editline] or "watch johnny knoxvile try to pick his acting career back up from where he left off with the ringer"

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;39256465]old enough to not be dazzled so easily by "lol old action movie stars lol cheesy humor and callbacks"[/QUOTE] Well you're definitely not old enought to comprehend that movies are entertainment and not something to be so royally upset about.

I'm not really upset over this movie so much as a bunch of idiots jumping on a dude for criticizing it because "oh wow you must think fun is stupid"

I'm going to watch this with my father because we're both Arnold fans. I hope it isn't like a movie where it's a mediocre plot with just constant Mr. Freeze puns and constant explosions.

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;39256544]I'm not really upset over this movie so much as a bunch of idiots jumping on a dude for criticizing it because "oh wow you must think fun is stupid"[/QUOTE] Bunch of idiots?You posted about Arnold's carrier ending with this and it seems to me that since you didn't get any attention you went all godawful movie guys.Once the damn thing gets released then you can criticize it.You started with a bad attitude so don't be surpised to have such feedback from people Also of course you should an opinion but you remind me of some assholes who shove their opinions on other people's face.Would be simply nice to just express your opinion with good manners since bad language is often irritating.

that opening post was a joke but the movie actually does look like shit [editline]17th January 2013[/editline] I can see why you'd think how you do but fyi i'm not the "guy being jumped on" i was referring to

[QUOTE=NOR_92;39253017]no critical thinking allowed Hey it's not the lack of seriousness that bothers me about this movie. Predator, Terminator, First Blood, Aliens and Die Hard are all movies I really, really like and they embody or pioneered a lot of the tropes you see in these modern "homage" films. But those seem genuine and honest. To see Hollywood churn out half-assed shit like this and other movies like Expendables, Expendables II, A Good Day to Die Hard and the A-Team really gets to me because you can feel the cynicism and the reasons why they make these films. To make money. Profit is always going to be a motivation in movie-making, but when it's the only driving force it really shines through, rendering the movie soulless and lacking. If I wanted to laugh I'd watch a genuinely funny movie instead of wasting time and cash on this shit where you basically just sit and wait for it to end because you know all the jokes and you know where the plot is going the whole fucking time. "There's gonna be guns and explosions" just doesn't cut it anymore. If I wanted that I'd just watch one of the original Die Hard films or go play a video game - saving time and money.[/QUOTE] Welp this guy does have a point Predator and the like had something these "homage" films did not. and hth expendables was fucking lame and badly edited.

Its weird people cant just enjoy a good mindless action movie. I like The Expandables because its just mindless action with stupid funny one liners.

has 79% on rotten tomato at the moment. not bad

I'm seeing this movie for Arnold, shit or not

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;39256465]old enough to not be dazzled so easily by "lol old action movie stars lol cheesy humor and callbacks"[/QUOTE] Fucking exactly, thanks man. And please note that I haven't rated ANY of you dumb. Gee thanks for being such good sports.

OH hey. This is by the same director as "The good, The bad, and The weird" My second favorite western film
