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.

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
