I sorta forget that the first movie was played more serious than the remaining films. But yeah. The jokes were there, the action was over-blown but the violence was pretty hard. I suppose Die Hard also hits the mark... I dunno. I didn't fund the film, but I plan on watching it as I love all four of the main leads in other stuff. Maybe not in the theater... but a DVD buy at least.

Ok..i already wanted to see this but...the end of this scene has me sold that Sharlto Copley is just more awesome than before.

That scene was awesome. I loved where Murdock laughs after Face says he lit his arm on fire. I grew up with the tv show, so I really hope this one turns out well. It looks like it's going to be alot of fun. Fun is something we haven't really gotten this Summer. It's been very drab and lifeless.

I knew Copley was a talent when I saw D9, and this seems to prove his versatility.

Q: how in the hell did Bradly Cooper get to be so freakin ripped? I saw a preview clip where he was doing some sort of exercising and would never have thought that was the Phil from The Hangover. While I know this is an ensemble movie, I could easily see it helping turn Cooper into one of Hollywood's next big leading men.

Cooper is definitely on his way to stardom. Especially if this does well and he has Hangover 2 next year. He was also a finalist for Green Lantern.

Seeing this tomorrow at noon. Will report back. Looking forward to it!

Had no interest until that clip. Looks funny. I will be checking it out.

He is the only reason I would see this movie. And I called that he would be a star when he was on Alias.

He was great in Alias, and I remember seeing him in Wedding Crashers, thinking it was great he was playing such an asshole. I also think hes right on the edge of stardom.

I first saw Cooper in Wet Hot American Summer. It always strikes me as kinda funny how he turned into a tanned, muscular, dirty blonde romantic comedy star.

Copley looks great, that scene was awesome. Looks like this is going to be a real fun movie.

Mr. T and Dirk Benedict don't seem to think much of this, but maybe that was to be expected.

I can understand why they feel the way they do, but if they had taken the approach of the original, then it would almost have to be played as a comedy. The original, while good as a kid, only holds up if you look at it as a live-action cartoon in the style of G.I. Joe. It was made for the whole family with kids obviously being the target audience. That wouldn't work today.

I probably shouldn't tell you what I thought of the movie until Thursday at least, because I am theoretically embargoed, but I will say that I love it when a plan comes together.

^Great review... you sold me. Sounds awesome!

Best way to review without reviewing.

why would a reviewer be forbidden to talk if they liked the movie? wouldn't that create a buzz and be a good thing... i can understand a negative opinion being squandered until release, but positive could only help.

Because if you start running in to praise every movie you like, people will start noticing when you don't do that.

Yeah, we could never tell from your signature:

1 Scott Pilgrim vs. The World | 2 Toy Story 3 | 3 The A-Team | 4 Let Me In | 5 Undisputed III: Redemption
6 Catfish | 7 The Adjustment Bureau | 8 The Human Centipede | 9 Saw VII 3D | 10 The Other Guys

Those are the films he's really wanting to see...

Yeah. I have not seen 9 of those movies yet.

Can you confirm this? This is a snippet of a review on Rotten Tomatoes:

"Though he films his action scenes in the increasingly annoying modern style (namely, shooting them so frantically that you can't actually tell what's going on in the frame), Joe Carnahan hits just the right balance of fun and fury here."

The first one with B.A., I was a bit irritated. But that's the only hand-to-hand to hand scene that I recall off the top of my head, and the only one that has that problem (because nobody would ever frame a $5 million car stunt or CG effect in quick cuts). The scene in question takes up a whole two minutes, too, so no worries.
