How about they make a good Judge Dredd movie before they make a sequel to that POS? It had so much potential too.

No shit. I adored the costumes & sets, even Stallone as Dredd. That script though...

It's as good as your going to get for live action Judge Dredd.

Basically Judge Dredd should not be live action at all.
 
I enjoyed it. :lol

Technically Robocop is your best bet at a live action Judge Dredd since he's a ripoff of it and all and everyone liked it.

I did as well, but it had huge problems. Diane Lane helped too. :lol

Sexiest Judge ever. She was hot back then.

Cobra had such an awesome car and gun with *gasp* a cobra design on the handle.
 
This movie needed a Kurt Russell cameo... wearing an eye patch.

Tango and Cash is one of the worst films ever made, but it's also one of my favorite movies from my childhood. And Kurt was awesome in the 80's.
 
The expendables was decent. I give sly credit for putting together the cast.
Things I liked:
First half
The expendables - especially Mickey rourke and dolph 
Church scene

Things I didn't like:
Eric Roberts character - role was poorly written
The general was severely miscast
The script was as expected but the second half seemed rushed 

What boggled my mind was how positive the audience reacted to the predictable over the top violence

How dare you T&C was super awesome. And fun as hell.

I'm really hyped for expendables now, I can't wait to check it out.

They asked, his agent said Kurt doesn't do ensemble pictures. Crazy, I know.

I agree about the cameo with an eye patch.

god I'm listening to the score by Brian Tyler... I think he invented the musclephone for this shit.

Can't wait to listen to it. I loved Tyler's work on Rambo.

It's not nearly as good as Rambo's score, but he already had the great Rambo theme to work with and so on. This is good though, very good.

Good to hear. I would expect it to be less than Rambo too, but as you said, he had Jerry Goldsmith backing him up there.

It's pretty much what the target audience has been demanding since news of the movie first hit.

I suppose but the crowd I saw it with didn't seem like the type that followed the movie closely - I'm sure most would have cheered at the violence regardless of the movie which is a little sad
 
Wait, Stallone is directing a movie on Poe and Viggo Mortensen is playing Poe? Er, this could be a good chance for Stallone to do something really special, or it could be a disaster. :lol

This has been rumored for a long time. Is it actually official now? If so, I can't wait for the shaky cam and CG blood on Poe!

Weird. It's on Rottenomtoes site, and IMDB, it's listed under Stallone's name. Nothing else. Poe isn't listed under Viggo's name on IMDB.

People should remember who made Poe the big box officer it was in the 1960s: Roger Corman (and of course Vincent Price), so why not Sly!

With The Expendables arriving in theaters this Friday, action-star/director Sylvester Stallone has been doing the press rounds where he's been asked about the long gestured Poe, which originally had Robert Downey Jr. attached to play the infamous Edgar Allan Poe. In a new interview with Stallone, he explains that at this point the movie is totally "going to bomb", while also adding he needs to land someone along the lines of Johnny Depp to star. Seriously, crapping on your own project is the best way to get a a big name star and financing. LOL.

Stallone talked Poe, a biopic about the late horror author Edgar Allen Poe that he had his heart set on doing for a long, long time. "I will direct it, but it's never gonna live up to the hype," he told MTV. He jokingly added, "No matter what I do it's going to bomb, totally. Totally! When you've been talking about something for 30 years, it's impossible [to live up to those expectations]."

Robert Downey Jr. was at once point attached to star as the titular author, so Josh asked if the Iron Man star is still on board. He didn't say one way or another, but he admitted that the role needs to go to someone "special."

"It has be like Downey, I designed it for Downey," he explained. "Perhaps I could re-work the script. [Maybe] Johnny Depp. It needs a very special actor like that." While it doesn't sound like there's been any recent momentum on the project, Stallone was quick to add, "I'm sure there's something on the horizon."

Sly invited Van Damme... he declined because it was too violent or something like that.

Turned it down.

Jean-Claude Van Damme was personally offered a role by Stallone, but turned it down because he felt there was no substance to his character.[4] Stallone said that Van Damme told him that he should "be trying to save people in South Central."
