Thinking about checking it out. Not sure that it looks good, but a movie with this many names attached is bound to be a big deal, flop or not.

I don't think I'm man enough to handle it.

I'm planning on seeing it. It may not be good, but it'll probably be awesome anyway.

^ Yeah, Stallone movies have a habit of being awesome while still being hoaky. I'm looking forward to it.

Cool. I think we are, as well. We've got some "free" tickets from work that are only usable on it starting tomorrow.

Well, just got back from watching it. Very impressed. Everyone's on top form (except Steve Austin who's still playing wrestler persona....)

Will be happy to say that I'll probably buy the Blu-ray and watch again and again.

Saw it a week or so ago. It was pretty impressive, for all the crazy violence and ridiculous CGI blood, etc. I liked how the characters behaved, it was pretty light-hearted overall. Schwarzenegger is looking pretty old and out of shape there, good thing he didn't get over-ambitious and try to do any action stuff. There were some seriously badass stuff with jumping off walls, etc, I dug it a lot for that.

The plot wasn't heavily emphasized, but I more or less expected a ridiculous amount of gunfire and explosions, insane stunts, etc. Got what I wanted out of it.

That thing about Schwarzenegger wanting to be the US President is some kind of running in-joke, btw.
