I'll probably end up watching it, but I'll also think about how terrible it is, just like The Expendables. I can't even remember what the plot was from the first film...someone double crossed the guys, that's pretty much the only thing I remember. Oh, and guns. Quite a lot of guns.

Holy **** Batman, look at that cast.

I am totally expecting atleast 10 legendary one-liners in this movie that will be remembered forever. 5 of them at least by Arnold himself. :p

Like the first one, the trailer got me so pumped up, and the movie....well... we all know how that went.

Hopefully this time around they will make it make sense, and a good movie. Especially if Norris and Arnold are in it. Neither of them know how to fail.... right? :shifty:

Oh, and more Statham fight scenes. Dude's a badass, hands down.

The trailer looks awesome. I seriously have no clue why people keep saying the first movie sucked. If you didn't like it, fine, but clearly it wasn't made for you. It was made for people like me that, when things are being shot and blown up, the plot can take a back seat to allow for more badassery.

OH god, all those action heros in one movie?!??! No wonder the world will end in 2012, there has to be some twisting of the laws of physics going on when you combine all of them together on screen.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
