The Expendables; Machete

[skinsfan07]

Gonna see this thing tonight. Seems like it should be a good bad ass action movie like some of you are saying. Can't wait! haha

Machete opens Friday

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.

Machete will kick ass

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

I've actually gotten really excited to see this movie.

Some reviewers are saying it is better than the expendables

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.

I loved Sin City. I can't wait for the 2nd one to come out.

That's me
And Michelle normally butch?

Sex, violence, Alba nearly naked, machetes, Michelle Rodriguez, guns, hot twin nurses, humor.

ACW, because of your last two posts, I'm going to see this movie.

That was deliberate. Remember, he admits he's not really from Texas.

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.
