lightofdayeS0 I was meaning to write today. Instead my friend got off work earlier than expected and we saw a movie/ had a meal. Intially we'd planned to see The Bourne Supremecy, because my friend fancies Jeremy Renner. But its turns out no, he doesn't want to see a Bourne film because he find them forgettable lets go see the expendables instead. (because he also fancies liam hemsworth)
The expenables. Oh Dear. Just Oh dear.
I'm good with mindless action flicks. If i skip past a random scene of martin lawrence and will smith bullying a kid, I can pretty much watch bad boys II constantly. I love The Rock, Con-Air, Face/Off.
This was not a good action film for me. i mean I guess I get why most of the one-liners are supposed to be funny. But they just weren't. It was too predicatable. The plot was thin on the ground even for this fair and I don't care about the characters, which is bad because they keep having these quiet supposedly poignent character moments between action scenes but it dosn't work because these guys just don't have the acting chops to do it.
I get the expendables shtick is too stick as many action heroes old and new on screen at once and show how manly it is. But really if you cut down the cast of characters so everyone had a decent amount of screentime. you might make a better movie.
So yeah what I have learnt. My friend still has terrible taste in movies. I prefer 90s action movies to the 'classic' 80s ones and that old action stars should now when to quit.
