might pass unless I decide to see this in the next week or two

This looks like the name of a really bad porno.

Just went and saw this movie, and all I gotta say is....OHMUFUGGINGAWDLOVED IT!!!

You go for the Henry, but You stay for the JIMMIES!

Angry Joe convinced me, I'll give it a look.

If Russia is as fun as this movie makes it look. I can understand why Putin hangs there now.

Yeah the Motion Sickness angle had me worried at first but after about 10 or 15 min I didn't notice it anymore. And the TV Commercials didn't do it any justice when seen on the big screen.

That and Sharlto Copley stole the damn movie ever time "he" showed up.

Hilarious movie. About as over the top, violence filled craziness you can expect from a movie. I burst out laughing at loads of the deaths. Great fun.

To bad Deadpool wasn't this much fun.

Seeing this on Thursday. Can't wait.

So I wanted to like this so bad. I was excited to see something sort of original with massive amounts of gratuitous violence and nudity, and the action was pretty cool, some of it at least, but my god, they overdid the shaky cam and there was no character or story to follow, so the gimmick got old very quickly. Impressive effects and stunts for sure, but they should have brought in some other writers. There was such wasted potential here.

And seriously with all the technical achievements in the film I'm sure they could have used some steady cams and then someone might actually consider wanting to watch it a 2nd time. This appeared in my local cheap theater very quickly after release and I see why. What a shame.

I think they were going for a Kung Fury type of thing.

At least with Kung Fury it was better in every way.

I definitely did not get a Kung Fury vibe from this. I see what you mean with the over-the-top action, but hell, Kung Fury had a lot more character development and story and it was 1/3 the length. Kung Fury is a very different kind of humor, too.

A sad day when good action gets poo' poo'ed by hipsters with poor taste.

So needing coherent action, a story and relatable characters is poor taste? It's clear who has bad taste here.

I can totally understand how people couldn't like this movie, but I found it to be vastly entertaining. To each their own.

What wasn't Coherent about the story?

It was a pretty Typical Hero goes to save the Girl plot but this actually threw in a few new twists.

Deadpool didn't do that.

And no relatable characters?

So you can relate to a 4th wall breaking mutant or a steroid powered WWII Old Fogie?

I think you are just looking thru your Marvel Hero Bias Goggles.

Haha.. since when did I become a Marvel fanboy? I think you are confusing me with many other people on here. Can you not see my avatar and Sig? I didn't like Deadpool because it had a shit story, too. And I am sick of Marvel/Avengers movies.

You tell ME what WAS coherent about the story and what WAS relatable with the characters to sustain a 90-min movie.
