Is The Expendables The Most Forced Franchise Ever?

[bogey_j]

shyt just reeks of desperation ol' sly getting nostalgic and tryna bring back the glory days with a dated premise. no one fukking cares. the expendable sequels are something nobody asked for and dude's just pumping them out like its in hot demand. I for one am glad part 3 flopped hard. fukk sly

Spoiler

sad about sin city tho I wish it did better at the box office

i never watch them so i dont really know if they are good or not but they do look forced. like some kind of action movie fanboy circle jerk.

 

[bogey_j]

shyt is wack

 

[(ALi)]

They're corny.

 

[Just like bruddas]

the pg 13 rating pisses me off

 

[HookersandIceCream]

It's was a idea but even the F&F movies are less forced

 

[Codeine Bryant]

I'd say Grown Ups is more forced

I mean, it's 2014. Who the fukk finds Kevin James funny?

 

[Deltron]

It's no more "Forced" than any other ensemble flick.

This one just happens to be in the action genre.

 

[Existential]

Without question. The idea was 10 years too late to begin with.

Nah, the Expendables is much more forced because they really thought they were going to relive their glory days. They're trying way too hard.

Grown ups is just another Adam Sandler tax writeoff vacation with rich, famous friends. They weren't trying at all with that. Two different categories.

 

[Deltron]

Always felt it was more like Stallone having fun with the genre. He's well aware him and all them are old as fukk and past their primes. That's why there were all the callbacks, nods, one liners. Not necessarily relive their glory days.

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Never saw any of them but the concept always seemed pretty clever to me.

One of these days I'll probably check em out.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

I love the series personally. Just got back from seeing the third one and I was thoroughly entertained.



I'm a fan of pretty much everything Sly has done recently. Escape Plan, Bullet To The Head, The Expendables, etc. all those movies are great to me. If he dropped Expendables 4 I'd definitely be excited to watch it

 

[Brooklynzson]

All my favorite action stars growing up running around shootin shyt up ...i hope stalone never stop making them

 

[Zardoz]

Only saw the first 2 films and I won't be watching the 3rd one.

They lack the campiness that made most of them famous, and what are left are hollow movies filled with forgettable scenes and pointless relationships.
Jean Claude Van Damme and maybe Terry Crews were the only decent characters.

 

[HHR]

Personally, I like them for what they are. Their nostalgic tributes to 80s/90s action movies, right down to the terrible dialog with a handful of good one-liners.

E3 isn't a good movie, but I enjoyed it enough.
