Pure self parody if you ask me, gold at that!

IMO there so bad, they're enjoyable for what the movie is... The actions heros from the 90s and 00s saying good bye!

But their movies from the 70, 80 and 90 were INFINITELY BETTER imo.

The first Rocky (76) was actually a very good movie. First Blood (82, the first rambo) was and still is an underrated movie imo.

Terminator (84) and Terminator 2 (91) were great movies. Predator (87) was and still is much much better than most horror crap seen on the big screen today. Total Recall (90) albeit cheesy was a good movie.

Die Hard (88) is the prime example of an awesome action flick that most people can enjoy (not just action flicks fans).

Hero (2002) and Fearless (2006) are very good too.

I understand The Expendanbles is an homage and a parody. But the first one was still very disappointing to me. It was simply not a good movie. Those guys did not become the legends they are by making average movies like The Expendables. Had the movie featured only guys like JCVD maybe i would have expected less from it.

At close 67 years old i think it's the time for stallone to start making movie where he plays an old guy or to simply retire ...

He's kinda awful, but I think he needs to appear

What's awful about him? He's gained some pounds and was really popular in the 90's iirc. He's still badass though and I'd love to see him in E3 if he dropped some pounds.

I agree and being that they aren't average stars, they could probably cough up something better, however, what are the odds, that all of the involved would be able to do so? JCVD is stuck in universal soldier, steven segal got lost in directo to video. So what i'm trying to say is, better to have a sorta homage, albeit an average ( but enjoyable, by my terms at least), than several crappy individual straight to dvd ones.

They need a Gina Carano Vs Michelle Yeoh scene in there. I say Gina Carano instead of an active, top female fighter because I don't want any more Rhonda Rousey in my life. Plus she likely wouldn't take time out to act.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.
