I mean TBH I consider this the case for most thievery but especially Arnold Schwarzenegger movie thievery, even moreso than like, Marvel/DC Comics thievery or any major music label thievery.

I saw this last night. I absolutely loved the crap out of it. It appeals to that 8 year old inside of me that can't get over how unbelievably cool explosions are. This is the kind of movie you go to if you are okay with shutting your brain off for a while and just having stupid mindless fun. Because that's what this is, it's not cultured or refined or particularly intelligent, but god help me it's an absolute blast to watch.

Highlights include...

Terry Crews, the guy that preceded Old Spice Guy, mowing down an army with an automatic shotgun whilst yelling in that way only he can.

Jet Li getting all up in Dolph Lundgren's grill before fighting in an abandoned factory.

Randy Couture having a fist fight with Stone Cold Steve Austin in a ring of fire.

Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham killing, like, 30 guys with a pair of knives and some elbow grease.


Do you like seeing things go boom? Do you have an innate hatred of that fucking hipster who says calming down and talking about things is the solution to all of life's woes? Have you ever just wanted to fuck it all, drive 190KM down the highway, shoot fucking huge guns, freak out on someone at work, eat a red steak with potatoes and no fucking salad before burning your girlfriend's entire collection of Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan movies while rock and roll blasts in the background? This the movie for you. It appeals to the most basic, guttural and violent tendencies of you, and is completely unashamed of that fact.

Congratulations. You've pushed me passed the limit. I'm going to try and go see an early bird showing of it this week.
