This movie was an insult to human intelligence.


After viewing this ridiculouse excuse of a film, I have come to realise I have no more faith left in humanity. Seriously? Is it just me or are people really getting dumber these days, every single Hollywood cliché was used in this film, there was no imagination in the script whatsoever...it was made for stupid people, who are incapable of thinking for themselves, like mindless drones that Hollywood has produced for a quick cash crop. What happened to those movies like Resorviour Dogs and Fight Club, why are we constantly subjected to this banal tripe like Avatar, which only rely on big budget spending on advanced technological eye candy for success at the box office...where is the *beep* story, character development, they keep forgetting those two aspects because they are no longer relevant anymore, it's because the intelligence level of the human gene pool has dropped significantly in this past decade. The mainstream media has turned you all into cattle! Fewer and fewer movies that require a certain intellectual thought process are being released each year. *beep* all you people, who enjoy this sh**. I’m glad this movie failed at the box office, but it won't make a difference because Hollywood will still keep churning them out!

Thanks for reading, just needed to get that off my chest because I was forced at gunpoint to watch this film...I honestly don't like to be reminded of how dumb people are for watching movies like this, it's just depressing.

Yanno I have to say parts of your argument I agree with theres tons of crap that comes out of Hollywood such as Avatar and more chick flicks than you can shake a stick at. I can't agree with you on Losers though. Its a fun movie thats it!I actually liked the some of the characters.Chris Evans was awesome! I know he was cliched but yanno I didn't care its an action movie most characters are! The sniper character was cool too and I loved Morgans character a guy who likes to be in control and yet is laid back not something you see every day. There really wasn't much as far as character development but its an action movie you can't really expect it that much. I have to say its funny you call the people who like these things drones and yet all of you who take yourselves and these movies so seriously say the same thing! My question for you is whos really the drone?

It was based on a comic book, so lay off. Its called escapism. There's a lot of unbelievable *beep* that happens in the Indiana Jones series, no one complains about that...because it is good escapist fun.

Just because you don't like a movie or how it's made, doesn't make it terrible. Crazy turnip..

Dude.. did you watch the movie? Better yet, did you read the comic series?

No? Not surprised. Most of the story revolves around several different characters that makes it quite a struggle to give their backgrounds and get the story out. And that wasn't even the first book!

It was meant to be fun, not thought provoking. Not that it would matter because someone clearly as "enlightened" and "unique" as you are can only find the most commonly referenced movies to compare it to.

No, The Losers was not some fantastically original movie; but it was entertaining. And the last time I checked, movies are classified as entertainment. So, I'm pretty sure it fit the bill.

And while we're on the discussion of your intellectual prowess..

Anyone with an IQ above maybe 90 could have come up with more creative ways of insulting people than expletives that they had to "beep" out themselves. Not to mention, they can generally spell and use correct punctuation as well.

Don't like the movie, turn it off. Simple. But the fact that you feel the need to exercise you're ridiculously(by the way, that's how you spell it) ignorant point of view after wasting your own time doing something you didn't want to do? I believe that qualifies as your fault.

Get used to that idea, sometimes, you have to accept it. Otherwise, you're going to live a very miserable life.

No offense, I like a great film full of originality that makes me pay attention as much as you obviously do, but while this movie was full of testosterone, explosions and guns, I like it for certain characters. Jensen was pretty funny and Cougar said more with his facial expressions and lack of lines than anybody else in the movie. Also, I like that I can put it on and still do other things without having to pay attention to every detail. Originality is great but most of life is full of cliches so it's a bit unrealistic to expect originality out of everything Hollywood produces. The past 5 or 6 years of gore flicks being released constantly is proof of that.

I have to say that anyone who pays to see a movie they aren't sure they'll like can only blame themselves for spending the money when they could just as easily wait for it to show up in redbox thus only wasting 1.00 if they don't like it.
