The original one was a decent action flick as long as you didn't actually THINK about anything that was going on.  Too many people outrunning explosions and fireballs, sometimes the acid blood would pretty much incapacitate people just from a little drop, and other times no effect...  If the second one is anything like the first, I'd guess that it's worth paying matinee prices, and don't bother renting it unless you have a widescreen tv and surround sound.  You're seeing a movie like that for the action and effects, not the plot or characters (or adherence to laws of physics).

My friend told me today that this movie is horrible beyond belief. If you want to see a good movie, check out "I AM LEGEND"

I know some of my friends were pretty hyper  about seeing AvP2 but haven't heard back from them yet.  But ive also heard I am legend is really good.  Guess people were walking out of the movie theater at Downtown Disney when it first opened because it was so scary!! Ive yet to see it but looking forward to it soon!!

I saw it tonight. It sucked. Bad. Worse then first one. No story line really. Mostly ripoff of old movie types such as a brother home just out of jail saves the world.

I am Legend wasnt to great either in my opinion.  Rip off of 28 days later but Americanized. Some parts were cool. Rest were dumb.

You wana see a good movie go see The Mist.

I am legend was the obligatory negro version of the classic "Omega man" that liberal hollywood has to do these days...  the original was quite good.. go rent Omega Man.   It even has some negros in it if you are really suffering from white guilt.

You do realize that I Am Legend was written in 1957?  I don't think the director / writer for 28 days was even born yet.


I actually don't know when he was born, nor do I care to look it up.

The shooting-from-the-hip marksmen 80's military/RAMBO style movies always make me groan.

But that machine gun Jessie Ventura hauls around is *nice*

I did know that since I read the book back in the day. My perspective was from the movie only point of view. My point was it looked very similar to 28 days later.  Basically like watching the same movie twice with different actors.

28 days later and 28 weeks later are a rip off of the book.

Doesn't sound like you are aware that Stallone's new Rambo movie is less than a month away now!

It opens next month on January 25th.

In the movie, the elderly Rambo has retired to the wild northern border area of Thailand, where he now works as a simple river boatman.   He has also renounced all violence, and become a complete pacifist who lives in harmony and peace with nature and all men.

A group of human rights monitors, though, needs to reach refugee camps holding people who have fled the tyrannical and corrupt military government of nearby Burma.  Rambo agrees to give them passage on his boat, so that they can reach the camps and observe what is taking place.

Predictably, they find horrendous atrocities being committed against innocent and defenseless Burma refugees, including women and children.  The human rights monitors are captured, and then face execution at the hands of the brutal Burma soldiers.  

However, during the long boat trip, Rambo has developed feelings for the woman monitor who is on the team.  Rather than stand by and let her be murdered, you can probably guess what then happens next.

RAMBO LIVES AGAIN!!!!

No knife this time around.  Instead, he now carries a huge machete for chopping up bad guys.

Besides shooting lots of AK-47's from the hip, he also has a big scene where he shoots a Browning 50 caliber M2 machine gun wildly from the hip also:

Since Stallone was arrested in Sydney last March for HGH and Steroids, they have been forced to market the Rocky boxed set as THE ROCKY* SAGA.  With alternate endings for 2 thru 6.

I'm sorry, but past the only similarity that it's a devastating virus, I see no real similarities between the two.

Sounds like Laz just saying what's on his mind without being PC about it. That's why we love him so much :D

Really??  I had not heard about that incident.

I've been wondering about how he has been able to keep such huge, gigantic bulging muscles at age 61.   I thought he had just been exercising and eating right.

Doesn't the Australian government believe in better living through Chemistry??

Here I am 55, and Stallone looks so much younger and healthier than I do.  His hair is even thicker and darker than it was in the earlier Rambo movies.
