Saw it today. Liked it a ton. Like others have said, Patric and Evans really stole the show. Definitely enjoyed myself with this one.

And I guess either Al Pacino or Robert Downey, Jr. could be Esteban, the alcalde.

Caught a matinιe of this today... it wasn't anything spectacular, but it was entertaining. Probably a 3 1/2 out of 5 for me. I was a little underwhelmed with the action and pacing of the film, but the actual characters were entertaining enough to keep me interested in the movie. Under a different director, I think this would have been awesome. Chris Evans owns this movie, and if it wasn't for him and some of the banter with him and his teammates, the movie would be far less enjoyable. I actually hated the character of Max; just wasn't interesting and was a bit too silly for me. Zoe was hot, and the rest of the Losers were fun to watch. I don't know anything about the comic, but I think i'll pick them up.
That said, I want to see an action comedy movie with Chris Evans pitted against Ryan Reynolds. That would rock.

Well, from a how-faithful-to-the-comic perspective, this failed. In the comic Max is
I do think that the change of locale (from the Middle East to South America) didn't harm the film. However, the comics were funny/cool. The movie was funny/silly. Still better than it could've been.
Columbus Short is also very funny.

Caught this and thought it was fun and entertaining. There was an open kind of ending.. so while I would like to see more, but doubt there will be a sequel.

I liked it fine. It's biggest problem is it's only half a story. Apparently the original comic goes further.
