So, like...this is shaping up to be the greatest movie of all time. Like, no joke. Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis will be on the screen at the same time in this film. It doesn't get any bigger than that. Holy balls, I need this movie to come out like yesterday.

He only has a small part. But...who cares? He's horrible at being govenator anyway.

There are only 2 directions that this movie can go.

It will either be epically awesome, or total crap.

Let us hope that it is the prior.

IGN said the movie is action packed but easily predictable and unfortunately only two of the characters really get a chance to shine.

I'll be seeing it opening day.

I don't go to see this type of movie for anything other than totally awesome action and one liners. This is what I grew up on. I am totally all over this like flies on ****.

EDIT:

I just got my tickets for the midnight showing. Also, I hadn't been paying attention, but there was talk about having two cuts of the movie: PG-13 and R and they were going to test to see which audiences liked more. Well, the movie is rated R(for rad, of course), so I am extremely happy about that.

Just got back. Was the greatest movie I've ever seen. It had explosions, it had people getting shot, it had explosions, it had people getting their limbs cut off, it had explosions, some guy got his head cut off, it had explosions, people's necks were snapped. **** awesome. It was everything I had hoped for and more. There was not one ounce of disappointment the entire film except for the 2 minutes during the opening credits were going and the lights came on and the movie shut off. But that disappointment was made up for by the free movie ticket I got on my way out.

So, yeah. I saw my favorite film of all time tonight. For free.

I liked it, but it was slow to build, the fonts for opening and end credits was poorly chosen, the plot was more than cliché, but it was good.

A-Team was better.

It was great. Nothing to add. It was everything I expected and very enjoyable.


Spoiler:
The duo death blow on Gary Daniels had the whole theater hollering. And Crews wasting all those guys with that shotgun was awesome.

Same exact reaction to both the movie and the spoiler. It had big explosions, death, and mayhem with some semblance of a plot. The writing was downright awful, but that mattered not as it had exactly everything I was looking for in it.

It was an action movie straight out of the 80s. I really felt like I was watching a real action movie. Action movies today seriously lack the awesomeness that was the 80s action flick. This one brought it all back.

Jason Bourne is way to emo. And there are clearly not enough explosions in those movies. And he has like, no one liners.
