Film The Expendables

[Chosen]

I know there is a thread about it on freddyshouse "general". But what does the OT people expect from this movie?

As for myself, I can't wait to see my old action heroes fight together in a pure action movie.

 

[megadave]

cast is fantastic sohopefully it's good. i hope it's more like an 80s action film than a modern craptastic action film

 

[Chosen]

Yeha, they focus way too much on special effects these days :/

 

[Bahumat]

I've already pre-battered my cock for this deep frier marathon movie!

 

[megadave]

this film is an absolute pile of rotten shit

 

[fettoken]

Silence. Take that back sir.

 

[Lamp]

Movie sounds awful TBH. I might catch it on torrents, but won't waste my time in the cinema with it

 

[gohan]

it was mildly entertaining


nothing more than i expected givern the leads are all in their 90's xD

arnie may aswell have not been in it, he doesn't even throw a punch and he has about 3 lines.........

 

[cHodAX]

Total rubbish as far as story goes, had some good elements but in the end the story failed the actors.

 

[megadave]

Every aspect of the film was utter shit. I wont go in to detail because it's just an action film, but the action was pretty crap, the special effects were rubbish and since everything else was awful there was not a single redeeming aspect of the film.

 

[georgie]

It was alright, no masterpiece but then it was never gonna be. Nice to see all those actors in one place though. Good to see Charisma Carpenter still looking yummy too.

 

[cHodAX]

Good to see Charisma Carpenter still looking yummy too.

Yep she is a fine looking woman, haven't seen her in ages. Can't believe she is 40 now, time goes by so quickly.

 

[DocWolfe]

Holy shit she's 40?! She must have been 30 while doing Buffy.

 

[cHodAX]

Holy shit she's 40?! She must have been 30 while doing Buffy.

Yep born in 1970 according to IMDB.

 

[Overdriven]

Film is shit. Now let me expand.

If it was anyone apart from those in the cast, it'd fail on the spot.
It's seriously OTT.
The acting in it is shite (Sly, speak up man! )
The story line is the standard 80s type thing.

However, I'd see it again. It's a 90 minute guy film, turn your brain off and enjoy it. Worth seeing once I think, is probably a film you stick on while doing work/playing games or something.

Few parts of the film made me smile till my face started hurting

Spoiler

Bruce, Arnie and Sly. That whole scene made my day

and some parts were meh.

Go see it

 

[megadave]

Now that MJ is dead does Stallone have the most plastic face in show business?

 

[Lamp]

No.

Leslie Ash looks awful

 

[Lamp]

or this one (can't remember her name - some ghastly American from the 90s, who maried some billionaire businessman. Trump? What was her name? Frankenstein?)

 

[Ezteq]

christ on a cracker are they real or photoshopped???

aargh my eyes!

 

[Lamp]

both 100% real

Leslie Ash famously screwed up her lip-job & that woman was world famous in the late 90s for being seriously scary (and rich)

 

[Shagrat]

or this one (can't remember her name - some ghastly American from the 90s, who maried some billionaire businessman. Trump? What was her name? Frankenstein?)

she's dubbed the bride of wildenstein I think, for obvious reasons...

some pics of her she looks scarcely human

 

[Lamp]

Is this the scariest picture EVER of the Bride of Wildenstein? | Mail Online

 

[Ezteq]

Bizarrely she based her remodelled look on exotic wild cats, which he loved, as she decided that he might find her more attractive if she became "more feline".

*cough*

After finding her husband in the marital bed with a 19-year-old Russian model...

Hmm love of exotic cats, not nearly so much as of young Russian lovlies, maybe Bride of Wielderbeest should have had smaller and smaller versions of herself surgically implanted inside her and spent 5 days lining up for a slice of bread, that might of got his attention more than having her face remodelled to look like hulk hogans foot.

The first time Wildenstein saw his newly-sculpted wife, he was said to have screamed in horror, unable to recognise her.

screamed? The woman's lucky he didn't bludgeon her to death with a giant rolled up tv guide.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Ridicilous, poor acting, no plot, absolutely perfect beer-movie

It's akin to cobra, commando, etc. Lovely homage here and there.

Worth the watch, no oscars, but no need either.

 

[Moriath]

is a great homage to the 80's action films as said before .. its not meant to be ground breaking or all that stuff .. nice old school action movies .. prob most of you dont remember them cause your too young .. bought up on cgi and ultra realism

 

[megadave]

yeah i was born in 88 and therefore have never seen a film from before then

 

[Ezteq]

ooh ooh was marty mcfly your midwife??

 

[pikeh]

prob most of you dont remember them cause your too young .. bought up on cgi and ultra realism

[Everz]
