Going to see a movie like that with a migraine really isn't the best idea. In fact, it's a really BAD idea.
For once, I completely agree with Abicion, this guy just didn't get it. |

I felt five times manlier after watching this film.
And guys, I know the marketing made a big deal out of Schwarzenegger's appearance, but why did you think he would have a bigger role? He's a very busy man nowadays; the fact Stallone even got him for one scene is surprising.

Actually I'm pretty sure his point is that it was a cheesy 80's action movie in which Stallone tried to inject enough story to make it pass for something more than that, but failed lamentably and the story actually makes the movie worse than a lesser attempt at one might have.

I particularly loved the beginning. That very first death was hilariously awesome.

Why don't we have that yet?

I don't see why anyone should expect this movie's formula to be any different. |
Because these actors by themselves HAVE been in better movies, hence, putting them all together in one movie would theoretically make a great movie, instead of, what i would consider, a mediocre action movie. People had a right to expect better, so the whole "it's a bunch of dumb action stars in a dumb action movie, why expect more" doesn't really cut it for some people.
... I kinda wanted one of the dictator flags from the movie with Angel from Dexter on it. That made me lol.
