Kitsch looks and sounds absolutely dreadful in every released second of the film. Expendables comment isn't surprising in the least.
Between this and Battleship...lol
His turn as Gambit should have been enough. Absolutely dreadful that was.
Nope, haven't read any of the books. If they tried adapting it to a modern audience, I think they'll failed. I'd be shocked if this one gets positive word-of-mouth. And I really disliked Tron: Legacy, so you may dig it.
That's what I feared. They fell into some bastardized pit between making a faithful version of Burroughs' work and trying to bring it to a modern audience. Though the one difference between this and TRON Legacy was I was digging all of the marketing up to release, whereas this just looks like one big joke after another.
