The Expendables 2 - Part 2

[dude stannis]

Ya know what's funny is that people complain about Hemsworth and let's be honest here, he's probably the best actor of the bunch.

When he makes a Rocky, Cop Land, J.C.V.D., Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Revolver or a Hero, then maybe I'll take that seriously. But right now all he's done is be Miley Cyrus' handbag.

I don't personally care if he's in the film or not, what annoys me is that his presence in the advertising take precedence over Scott Adkins'.

You want honesty? That's probably the most ridiculous post I've seen on here in a while.

/honesty

Yea, LH is a fantastic actor and really boosts the ensemble cast for EX2

Bothered to mention Scott Adkins is in the film...

Preach it. Also, Stallone is a fantastic and totally underrated actor. And I mean ACTOR. He's got perfect comedic timing and there are many many moments throughout his career where he's shown great dramatic acting. Copland immediately comes to mind.

I'm hoping he's there to be a pivotal death. Not that I hate the guy, he's just taking up space.

To be fair though, they did give him a pretty convenient role in the team, aka the sniper. That way he probably won't be forced on the audience by giving him actual 1-1 fights et al.

Einai kalos ithopios!

Assassins actually was a good acting role for him.

 

[Gianakin_]

Nai, einai!

Haha, yes, he did great in Assassins too.

 

[dude stannis]

Who knows, now that the Wachowskis are back in town he might pop up in one of their films!

 

[Gianakin_]

He's got a few movies down the line already, doesn't he?

 

[dude stannis]

Just filming The Tomb right now, then he's producing the next Jason Statham film, he's in talks for Grudge Match, but he's not confirmed. He's had a cop thriller in the pipeline too, but there's been no movement on that for a while.

While we're on Sly,

Happy 66th birthday!

And there is Bullet to the Head coming next year.

 

[dude stannis]

He's already filmed that.

What are you basing this on? He's been in like two movies. He wasn't that great in the one that I saw him in, either (Hunger Games).

I'd say Bruce Willis , Stallone , Statham , and Jet Li are good actors.

It's a shame Donnie Yen passed this up but there's always room in Expendables 3

Add 'Pentathlon' to Dolph's. That's the movie were I realised that he could act worth a damn, if given the material. He was amazing.

 

[The Chris]

I would add fearless for jet li.
