I still want to see it but, movies like this just don't click with the general public anymore.
What does 'big opening' and 'good movie' have to do with each other?

He damn well better be directing. Him in the director's seat is a big part of why I want to see this.

Well, those of you who had a problem with Stone Cold probably won't like this.

Gordon Ramsay is now kicking some ass - outside of the kitchen!

How this will not be the greatest movie ever made is beyond me.

I hope there are ambulances waiting outside the theater with how hard our asses are going to kicked after watching this.

Re: Stallone. Statham. Jet Li... The Expendables

But Gordon Ramsay is a joke....

Re: Stallone. Statham. Jet Li... The Expendables

I really doubt Gordon Ramsay will be acting in it. He'll probably have some bit in a restaurant or something.

Think about it though. You don't get more manly in the kitchen than with Ramsay.

How is Stallone doing it? Will the world stop when this film comes out?

The hate at least from me, comes from what on earth makes him "bad ass"? Jet Li, Statham, Sly, Rourke, all bad ass. Stone Cold, jean-shorts, drinks beer out of cans, gives people the finger all the time, this is not bad ass this is white trash. I admittinly know very little about him, but he just reminds me of my local garbage man, I don't get what is cool about the guy.

Re: Stallone. Statham. Jet Li... The Expendables

Ok, I love Gordon Ramsay for what he does on TV but he better be doing the craft service table and not actually acting. He already does enough of that on Hell's Kitchen.

I think Ramsay raises the awesome factor; I can see him as the dictator's personal international chef who serves up kicking-ass well-done!

I think you're confusing "awesome" with "parody".

Re: Stallone. Statham. Jet Li... The Expendables

I hope this movie begins just kicking all sorts of ass. I hope that they're already at the badass fight scene finishing up a mission before we get into character development. Have this monster fight that lasts about half an hour, then start the movie. Hopefully this will be 3 hours of shredding ballsacks.

The wrestling character which I've seen a couple of times, & seeing him on a talk show, where he basically sounded & talked just like a wrestling character. He told the host he would "open a can of whoop-ass on him". I mean really? Who talks like that? This is what passes for bad-ass. Again, he just reminds me of my garbage man.

Maybe I'll netflix Condemned, but I doubt it will change my mind.

And if it's true that 50 Cent is replacing him, that really sucks.

^ Is that a joke? If 50 Cent is in this movie then I've lost 50% of my faith in it.

Heh, missed your first reply to me and yes I think Ramsay will be great and no, I'm not joking, AICN and a supposed reply by Stallone on some big Sly fan site are the sources for the 50 Cent rumor.
