I watched the movie yesterday... it was so awesome!! all the guys in the cinema screamed when terry crews used his rifle, and when arnie came into the church, everyone was aplauding Laughing oh my, the action was brutal and (mostly) realistic, no super hero faggot shit; the dialogues were like you imagine them from actionhero-sages:

Our principles are dry like the color here. when it's dry.
- Mickey Rourke while painting

so guys(!), go watch it!

i found the movie to be pretty bad, actually. i was really, REALLY looking forward to seeing it but it wasnt that good... the story was just meh and the combat scenes were mostly so fast cut that you couldnt really see what happened and who did what... so, all in all, it wasnt really what i was expecting.

the scene with schwarzenegger was hilarious though Laughing

you expected a story? this is a film for guys, I mean who wants story? I was worried in the beginning when the Generalissimo started to think, luckily he got killed anyway. luckily EVERYONE got killed, except for the good guys. which was very good, so there was no need for sadness. and I couldn't imagine anyone of them get killed either in films nor in real life Very Happy

action scenes were fast cut, that's right. but it's a newer action film, and fast cut action is common nowadays. besides, because of that I can watch the movie again to see how everyone got killed, by who and how Wink we had many important discussions after the movie:

"jet lees neckbreaking kick was so awesome!"
- "it was jason stathams kick."
"are you sure? I remember jet lee making the final kick"

or:

"too bad terry only used his razors only to throw it into the throat of one soldier..."
- "didn't he cut up someone completely with it before?"
"no, that was statham when he furiously cut everyone down."

yea, but you see, this is exactly the thing i DONT want. when i watch a movie (ESPECIALLY if its a no-brain-just-action-movie like this one) i want to have an overview. i guess you havent seen IP MAN (which is not pronounced like "internet protocol" but more like a chinese name Very Happy). do it. its the biography of bruce lee's trainer. marvelous. THIS is how choreographies have to look like.

oh and btw: that film was from 2008 so not all modern" movies have to have fast cut fighting scenes Smile

@ Chicken: Unless it's a Rocky Film (Part 5 withstanding) you can't go to see a Sly Stallone movie and expect any depth. These are just bodycount films, good guys VS bad guys. And, while I haven't seen the film just yet, I imagine alot of people dying, big overdone explosions, fight scenes with no substance- and I wouldn't have it any other way.

they're both amazing fights (tony jaa is awesome), but these are martial arts movies and their actors are asian. sly and co. are white, so they can't do martial arts and rely on heavy weapons. and weapons are superior to martial arts, especially in action movies.

besides, jet lee needs more than only 10 karate kas Razz

you know, when i saw jet li being in that movie, i was like "hot damn, there HAS to be some good old beating going on". but actually, i was disappointed. and a lot of firepower cant compensate that. besides, im not really that much into shootouts :/
