afkidd Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Wow, that was the worst movie I have ever seen. My friend and both wanted to walk out, but we both stayed out of respect for each other. Every part of that movie was terrible.First of all, I will never attend another Stallone directed film. The cinematography was completely static and devoid of artist talent, the dialogue gave me cancer, the storyline was idiotic, even the action scenes were unbelievably bad. I don't mean to be mean, but everyone who liked this piece of crap is a moron and solely responsible for the production of these travesties. really? i don't mean to be mean, but you are a douche.

DoGood28 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 You need to learn to manage your expectations better. If you walked into that movie expecting anything more than what you got... well let's just say you shouldn't be calling anyone a moron. I had no intentions of seeing it until a friend of mine called me at work late last night and we caught the 10:20 showing. It wasn't a matter of expectations. It was just poor, crappy film-making and even the supposed strengths of the movie (action, humor, cast) were all awful beyond words. As I was watching the movie I was thinking to myself that I always give movies a chance and that I recognize a movie for what it is and judge it based on that. There was no saving this garbage.

I have a feeling that I would feel the same way about the movie, and thats why I don't plan on seeing it until it comes out on DVD. That being said, if other people like this movie, I wont judge them. To each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyphenatedbren Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Saw the Expendables. Have no idea if I liked it or not. It was entertaining for a mid-afternoon, summer shoot 'em up six dollar action flick but it's nothing I'm going to rave about. It was what it was a good, mindless, entertaining bit of afternoon fun. Am a little disappointed Stone Cold didn't get offed by one of the two leads. Thought he deserved that. Was also a little uncomfortable with the whole "he'll hit women" thing since he did actually hit a woman. Loved seeing Bruce, Arnold and Sly on screen at the same time.

endzone_dave Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 With a few exceptions, you could take the last 20 action movies you've seen, mash them together, and you have The Expendables. Not sure what all the hype was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins_Fan82 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just downloaded....err...i mean went to see The Expendables this weekend. Just what i imagined. Pretty corny/predictable plot, but you don't watch movies like this for the plot. THat scene with Terry Crews and his exploding rounds AA12 auto shotty gave me goosebumps LOL. i'm sure the Modern Warfare 2 guys got a kick outta that as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Peep this: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/machete/ I've actually gotten really excited to see this movie. Some reviewers are saying it is better than the expendables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus87 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I saw Machete last night for some free screening in Miami. It's ok. It's literally the fake Machete trailer from Grindhouse, expanded about an hour and a half. Personally, I don't know if I'd pay to go see it (probably not, just because it was a little silly for my own taste), but for anyone who likes all kinds of ridiculous, silly, action movies with a lot of over the top violence, it's not bad. Cool to see Danny Trejo get a starring role though. And Jessica Alba is incredibly hot in this movie (and they play her character up for that purpose), and I'm not even a huge Jessica Alba fan. Even the normally really butch Michelle Rodriguez looks pretty good and actually has a decent character compared to her cheesy Fast & Furious roles. The only major gripe I had was DeNiro totally mailing his performance in about halfway through the movie. He even changes his accent from this Texas swagger to a clear New York accent. Also, the movie starts out using some great practical effects for gore, but then switches to CGI, which is usually how Robert Rodriguez handles this kind of stuff, but that's better for movies like Sin City than a Grindhouse feature like this. It's like a solid 5 or 5.5 out of 10 kind of movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejaydana Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 haven't seen Machete yet...still working on getting the girlfriend to consent to coming along. It looks like the perfectly brainless, self-indulgent, check your brain at the door, movie of the summer. Completely over the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I loved Machete. Better than Expendables and definitely better than "The American" which I saw yesterday. Tomorrow it's "The Last Exorcism" for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacase Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Machete was utter crap. I stayed to the bitter end but I was ready to get out of there. I enjoyed the expendables much more. Machete had tons of potential, but it just kept getting worse as the movie went on. The last scene was the worst shot scene ever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACW Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 So, there's gonna be an Expendables sequel Also: Robert Rodriguez says Machete sequel is greenlit and called Machete Kills. Part 3 will be called Machete Kills...Again! and is a space opera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chachie Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Expendables was expensively awful. At least Machete could claim a low budget dreadfulness. Both films stunk it up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
