I think that's a bit harsh
It is shit and I fully understand the concept. And it's a shit concept.

I don't buy the argument that it's OK to be shit if it's a summer blockbuster. If people were a bit more discerning and didn't accept that argument, we'd get more Inceptions and less Pirates of The Carribean and Transformers sequels.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 11:14, Reply)

No, I mean anyone who expected it to be anything but a "Crash Boom Bang" sort of film was mistaken
It was always going to be OTT, and utterly ridiculous, so for people to say it's shit because of that missed the point, IMHO.

Also, I've seen the new POTC film, the only defence I can give is that it wasn't as shit as I expected it to be. I was expecting a complete train wreck, but Captain Jack (as a character), was enough to rescue it.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 11:16, Reply)

Ah, OK.
yes, to say it's shit because it's OTT and ridiculous is not much of an argument. RED is both OTT and ridiculous. The differnce, to me at least, is that RED does it with style and humour and some pretty solid acting weight behind it. The Expendables lacks all those things.

So, to conclude, I buy your argument,but disagree with your conclusion on the film. So ner.
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Tue 20 Sep 2011, 11:21, Reply)

For me, The Expendables was like AvP, simply a film to switch your brain off, and enjoy.
