This is that new movie with Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, and John Malcavich(?).
Anyway, I saw it and it was pretty good. All the actors have been around the block a few times and knew exactly what kind of movie this was going to be and played it that way. So it never really took itself too seriously at any point in time.
Maybe they'll call this one "The Other Expendables"
I saw it Friday night and really liked it. The cast was really good and even the smaller rolls were really well done.

The premise looked lame to me, but I also have heard good things from a red-headed friend of mine, so he might be biased.

I saw this Saturday. Great movie, doesn't take itself too seriously. Don't go in expecting anything too dramatic; most of the scenes have some form of humor slicing through any seriousness present. Makes it an enjoyable ride, if you ask me.
Also, I am a huge Karl Urban fangirl and I think he rocked this role So glad to see him in more prominent roles in Hollywood.

Went and saw this last night with the wife. It was a lot of fun and like Aika said, didn't take itself too seriously at all. I especially enjoyed Helen Mirren.

I read the three issue comic mini series a few months ago. I totally didn't think there was enough in the mini to be made into a movie. They must have added a lot to the movie.

It has Ernest Borgnine in it, it has to be good.

I always thought that he could've done the role Telly Savalas played in the Dirty Dozen a little better, myself. Seeing nice old Ernest Borgnine like that would've been creepier.
