Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I love this movie. It does everything an action movie should do. Regarding some of the scenes, they only added to this. First of all, the scene with Willis, Stallone and Schwarzenegger was brilliant, I thought. It served no purpose whatsoever except to bring those three together and have some fun with it. Worth the whole movie in my mind. Secondly, the subplot about Christmas' love life is also entirely pointless, but it's in itself a comment on action movies: We think there's going to be a romantic subplot, yet the next time we cut to it and we see Christmas beating up those guys, the movie just seems to tell us: "No, there is not going to be a romantic subplot. This is an action movie, remember?" The third and last scene is the one with Mickey Rourke. The point of this scene is that while they're mercenaries, they need to be likable, which is what this scene and its effect is about. I found this to be a great addition.

Emerald Emblem Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Watched it yesterday afternoon, me and my mates were laughing at the over the top kills, just wow. With no expectation at all, I can say it was a fun ride for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Just seen it. As many have said, the end is amazing. Statham's performance reminded me of V for Vendetta with the quick knife action and basically everyone delivering some pr0 beatdown without sustaining minimum damage. I thought this was pretty good, but the scene with... Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger in it together fell really flat for me. It seemed very forced and cliched. Yes, I know the calibre of the actors involved, but some of the lines were terrible, like Arnie saying they should have dinner in 1000 years, and why did he even show up to the meeting just to turn the job down? It was like they filmed it in one take and just thought sod it, that'll do He said that he was "busy", could've been a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 What do you guys want to see in Expendables 2? I'd like the movie to include an opposing mercenary team, which would contain: Arnold Schwarzenegger (leader) Chuck Norris Jackie Chan Clint Eastwood The Rock Van Damme Michelle Rodriguez Imagine having a scene where Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li tag team Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan. Perhaps Eastwood could be an old guru kind of guy, who was a veteran from the Korea war, who then became a mercenary in Vietnam. There could be a back story on how Stalone and Schwarzenegger became enemies. And of course Rodriguez could just be a bad girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
