To save you time and $$ I did it: I saw both "Piranha" AND "The Expendables."

B movie at best and "bunch a group of mostly has-been actors into a movie to try and make some money" movie, and you're surprised they suck? :) I wouldn't spend my money on either.

The Expendables do the Netflix - Victor Khomenko 07:47:17 08/30/10 (1)
At that time will definitely rent it - I usually enjoy Stallone's junk movies.
- Don't do it, Vic, please. I also like his dreck but this - tinear 08:29:27 08/30/10 (0)
  should have been called, "The Execrables."
  Bad writing (even the buddy jokes were stale as month-old bread). Bad acting. And Ahnie looks like he is very sick: he's emaciated and looks like his face was constructed. Couture has no future in film. Stathan shows he'd better stick to kicking people in the face: he can't say more than four or five words without gasping.
  If you like lots of ridiculous "action," such as two men killing (in hand-to-hand combat, no less) twenty or so soldiers (why must a group of soldiers in these situations always stand back, respectfully, as their colleagues one-by-one are dispatched?) then this will be your "Wild Strawberries" of the genre.
  And... Dolph Lundgren? Ahnie makes him look healthy.

Piranha's previews made it look Godawful - Road Warrior 15:55:22 08/29/10 (1)
altho it got a decent, guily pleasure, type review here.

The evil sister-n-law is coming for Labor Day, I'm praying the Clooney flick gets good reviews as I'll be forced to take em to Piranha if not.

- I don't understand.....one of Piranha's actors said it was the best movie of the summer? * - mr grits 17:49:55 08/29/10 (0)

A two-fer. How can that not be good? - free.ranger 14:34:38 08/29/10 (1)
You're a brave man to walk point like that.
I'm coming out - I actually like Stallone's flicks.
- I, too, have liked Sylvester's films. But this is a shit burrito. nt - tinear 08:30:36 08/30/10 (0)

You expected something different? I saw them both too. They were pretty much what I expected. Well Piranha had even more T&A than I expected. Didn't know you could do that much full frontal in an exploitation movie and still get an R rating. I was a bit surprised that Stallone has reached the point where he really needs subtitles. Modern day grindhouse movies. Pure guilty pleasures. One step above going to a strip club.
