If you loved the theater version, the extra footage and dialogue adds so much to it and really fills it out. Satisfying from beginning to end with a few subtle changes along the way, like the "JOHN RAMBO" title in the opening credits, and some rearranging of scenes that helped the film pace smoother and not seem so rushed. They also added a bit more to the building tension and showdown between Rambo and the British SAS soldier that really was cool. Can't believe they cut all that stuff out!

Come on, dude! No spoilers!!!!! I already know too much about Tron: Legacy as it is, and it's buggin' me.

I may be the only guy in the world who was slightly disappointed in Rocky Balboa. It also seemed rushed and a little formulaic to me, and could benefit from some additional footage. I'm also one of the few guys in the world who actually loved Rocky V (which Million Dollar Baby ripped off but got critically praised for). I did enjoy the couple of alternate endings for Rocky Balboa, and think they went with the right one for the story. I saw it about 5 times in the theater and think I'll watch it again today.

How did Million Dollar Baby "rip" it off? Rocky V was okay, but it wasn't the wrap-up the saga needed. Rocky Balboa is a much, much better film, and the one downside to it is that Apollo Creed was not represented in any form because (allegedly) Carl Weathers wanted too much cha-ching. Oh, well.
I thought Million Dollar Baby was a great movie. F'in depressing, though.

We arrived late and had to stumble in during previews. Packed house. We had to sit on the third row. Yup, me, my wife and 150 middle aged ladies that seemed to be enjoying the movie MUCH more than I. There might have been 2 or three other dudes in there, but I didn't dare look up from the floor as we left because I was afraid I'd see someone I knew.Not only that, I'm sure they had every bit of testoserone drained from them as well and probably looked like a 50 year old women at that point anyway.
It was the worst frickin' movie I have seen in years. Not just because it was a chick flick, but because it seemed forced and was pretty much all around lousy. Bad acting and zippo script. ZZzzzzz. Hell, I had to leave and pee TWICE during the show. Long and boring. I guess my bladder even knows a bad movie when it sees one. Julie Roberts from the 3rd row was not the least bit flattering. Her lips look weird...was that bad botox or natural?
I about ditched my wife on the way out the door and sat down in the Expendables just to see if my nads would return. Being our anniversary, I guess that'll have to wait for another day.

Funny thing about Machete is that it started as a FAKE trailer shown during Grindhouse. The original trailer shows more of Machete's background...and is so over the top, it's hilarious:

What a trip! I didn't realize that -- I never saw Grindhouse. Not much of a Tarantino fan. Is he doing the new Machete film?
Monker wrote:Grindhouse was a double feature. Tarantino did Death Proof and Robert Rodriguez did Planet Terror. Rodriguez is doing Machete.
