Because of him the franchise became a reality. Who had given Sly $80 million for EX1? Warner? Paramount? Universal? I don't think so. Despite all of Lerner's shortcomings one shouldn't forget that .
Avi should be tried for ruining this franchise. He may have financed Sly's idea but he ended up stealing it from him and making it a PG-13 travesty, kicking Sly out. He's to expendables what Winkler is to Rocky. Kill Avi
I'm personally not a big fan of EX3 as you could tell from this blog's review of the movie. But I love EX2. Despite its faults it's one my all time favorite action movies.
I love you and your blog but with all due respect even EX2 was a missed opportunity and could have been a masterpiece but Avi ruined it. The only movie in the franchise where you don't see Avi's mess is the 1st one where Sly had full control. Once it became a success and Avi got involved he killed the franchise
Expendables 2 is absolutely the jewel in the crown of this franchise. Its what I wanted the first to be. Great fun, good action, bloody, doesn't take itself too seriously, some high stakes, good villain.
Wanted the third to be the same but with seagal as the villain. Instead we got pg13 with young guys we didn't wanna see. Gibson was good tho
I'm also a bigger fan of EX2. the first movie was ok but EX3 was garbage. I'm still looking forward to EX4 although Sly is not in it much and Arnie not at all. I hope it ends up being a good action movie and leads to EX5 with Sly back in a lead role and Arnie, etc.
Was this during filming with Stallone and not now?

ReplyDeleteIt would be great if the franchise got back to its legendary roots.
DeleteEx4 ain't gonna be good. Its not the original idea anymore. Barely any sly, no other action stars really other than Jason and Dolph.
ReplyDeleteMegan Fox isn't who I wanted to see on the team
Hope, friend.
