I have a posse rounded up for Friday. I insulted everyone's manhood if they said no. It worked.

Thought it was really good. I had a great time and smiled a lot. Perfect? No. It is what it is. Big, dumb, sometimes really dumb, fun.

Statham FTW.

Enjoyed it a lot. Arnie is getting old. My only real complaint, and it's minor, is the visual effects at the end were pretty poor. The building collapse and the fire effects were awful.

But I had a lot of laugh out loud moments. Didn't take itself too serious. In fact they pretty much made fun of everyone's shortcomings.

Loved it. Delivered on what it promised. Sly, get the ball rolling on a sequel, pronto. Terry Crews rockin' the AA12 with the explosive ammo, pure awesomeness. I love that i live in a world where this movie actually came to be.

Ok, Who is a worse actor, Dolph or Randy Coture?

I'm actually going with Randy. Poor Dolph is terrible, but he was a victim of terrible one liners as well.

At the risk of losing my man card, I gotta say I was disappointed. I'm all for 80's style action and fun (which I did actually enjoy the majority of the action sequences) but it does have to amount to something. That, and it should all jibe in some way or another. The film contradicted itself repeatedly.

I might see it when it hits HBO--but Sly's a horrible actor and director, and the whole advertising campaign of "YOU MUST SEE THIS HORRIBLE, PIECE OF SHIT MOVIE IF YOU CALL YOURSELF A MAN" really annoyed me.

I beg to differ DKJared. Sly is a great writer and director of pop cinema.

I loved the movie! OMG! The fights were so much fun, I called Darrell and we talked about the movie for two hours on the phone just to gush over it. The best thing was Terry Crews's gun walk and the fact that Ray Park took on both Colture and Li at the same time. This is almost as good as The A-Team movie as best movie of the summer. This thing was so dumb and mindless that I am buying a copy as soon as it's on dvd.
I am a geek girl, deal with it.
