Turn off your brain for 90 minutes and watch crap explode. Good times.
An articulate and erudite review. Thanks!
Friday night it was actually a toss-up between this and the new Julianne Moore/Liam Neeson thriller Chloe. I went to the latter and actually thought it was fairly good, and not only because it contains a very hot nekkid scene starring Ms. Moore and Amanda Seyfried. But even that couldn’t save it from the truly idiotic ending.
So I will probably see The Losers tomorrow.
I was planning on seeing it, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to break away today. If nothing worth seeing comes out next weekend, maybe I’ll see it then.
We go see a movie almost every Friday - but the past few weeks have been so lame, we haven’t seen a thing. We are starting to get a jones for popcorn, so maybe if we get the shakes, we’ll go see it.
After all, your review was certainly a ringing endorsement of the artistic merits of this scholarly work put to film.
I had a good time, especially with my 9 year old nephew along. He was enthralled. He watched the whole thing looking like a scholar deep in thought - leg crossed ankle over knee, elbow on thigh, chin in hand. It was hilarious, watching him watch the movie.
Chris Evans as Jensen was the best, although, I may be biased. I so wanted him to show personality, and was thrilled when he did. I’m already making plans to slash him with Robert Downey Jr, come 2011. Waiting impatiently for “The Avengers”.
Me and the girlfrield saw Losers and Kick-Ass the same night. The latter was the stronger film.
For some reason, I got Jason Patric confused with Julian McMahon, thinking it was odd that Losers had two actors from the Fantastic Four movies.
I wanted to like this move. I really did. I’ll go so far as to say it was a really fun movie to watch… except one character spoiled the movie for me. Jason Putric. His over-the-top sociopath personality wasn’t funny and it didn’t add to the movie. Oh and the weapon too… that was a bit :rolleyes: too much. I would have liked the movie 10X more if Jason played it a little more straight and if the weapon was a standard run-of-the-mill nuke.
Every so often this happens. The last example I can think of off the top of my head is: “A History of Violence” which is a really awesome movie until you get to William Hurt’s character; it almost ruins the movie for me. Williams Hurt was good casting… but they had him acting so bafoonish in the movie it took me out of it.
