| disolitude said: Conan blew it in the second half, its actually quite badass at first but the longer it goes on, the less cool to watch it is. Not that it wuld have done much better even if it was a better movie... Manly action movies struggle to gain traction with box office watches. But you know that 3 years from now, they will be playing the Conan movie on Spike TV and TBS every month. |
Eh. There are still a few manly action movies out there that do very well. But oddly, its the international take that allows them to do sequels. Battle: Los Angeles and The Expendables did very well overseas, and I'd consider them both pretty manly.
Having said that, its a real shocker that the largest consumers of manly death-ridden action movies are Russia and China... The same baddies our action stars of yesteryear would murder by the truckloads.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
