I can't get over the idea of a company engineering an exciting new dinosaur to boost visitor numbers and then making one of its selling points "incredible camouflage that makes it very difficult to see".

Well I'm sure it scare the poo poo out of those snotnose brats who are looking at their cellphones while standing near a loving T-Rex. You ungrateful snots, you are on an island with loving dinosaurs, be enthralled damnit!! :argh:

Wasn't Stallone quoted before as saying he wanted the Expendables squad to fight a Predator at one point? If the loving Predator showed up out of nowhere in this movie and started wrecking poo poo I would buy ten tickets on the first day alone.

The only way for this lovely franchise to get my respect would be if there's not actually a movie, only the ad campaign. That would be amazing.

Ehhhh. They're better than that poster featuring the whole cast that just came out, but they're still forced and dull and don't really show anything about the movie itself other than the actors in them. I know that's the whole point of this franchise, but the first two movies have already proved that throwing names into a movie doesn't necessarily make it any good...

The poster isn't going to change the quality of the movie and the cast is the singular hook of the franchise. I kind of like that they're laughing at themselves a bit.

Lionsgate really need to fire their marketing team for The Expendables 3. Well the person designing the posters anyway.

Why do they look like rejected Superheroes?

Speleothing: May 6, 2008; Spare batteries are pretty key.

Honestly, most of the GI Joes were pretty gaudy. That last one with the awkward Kellan Lutz gun grip in particular made me think of trying to get little plastic men to hold their guns.

I just noticed that in #3 Tom Jane has short hair. These posters are amazing and Im pretty sure its impossible not to find something new each time you look.

edit: Who does the pistol holding hand REALLY belong to? Thomas Jane in #1 or John Cusack in #2?

edit 2: And the helicopter is different on #2 and #4, is there really a military grade heli in the movie?

That's actually kind of cool since not many people know that the Romans made it that far (and even farther since we got some roman statues and pottery in Korea & Japan)

I know it's supposed to be a historical drama, but I instantly thought it was some sort of sequel to Dragon Wars. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Wars_%28film%29
