The Expendables and Scott Pilgrim VS The World are summer flicks. They should have opened somewhere in the beginning or middle of the sunny season. Instead, they appear at the end. Where I live, summer is over. It's cool, cloudy and rainy. Burrrr...
In theatres, one can watch Stallone and the gang blow up crap awesome and beat the snot out of bad dudes. The Expendables is glorious fun. It is the stuff of 80's action movie dreams are made of. It's paced better, more rewarding and constructed a hell of a lot better than the movies of the gone era. We've seen this film before. Good guys take on bad guys and win. The Expendables just does it better than the rest. The action scenes are epic. The flick ends and I had a stupid grin from ear to ear. Thanks Sly, you rock! The scene with Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Willis is awesome. I was waiting my entire life for that one scene!
Scott Pilgrim VS The World is for the ADHD generation. The movie is explosive in imagery and action. I couldn't stop laughing during the flick. My only complaint is that once and awhile, the pacing seemed off resulting the flick grind to a stop. Example: right at the beginning with Scott and his high school girlfriend, the setup felt long and tedious. It needed to be tightened up. Plus, moments after the thunderous action scenes felt boring as hell. I still highly recommend seeing it. It's visually awesome and hysterical!
