Hipsters are the biggest losers of all time. Just another group of f-tards that will fade away with time. They're insignificant and will never contribute to the betterment of anything. Grown people acting like 14 year olds whereby everything is lame and they put everything down.
I've thought everything Stallone has ever done was crap but that's just because it is. It's interesting what you say in the context of Judge Dredd. I liked that film and you can see the lame pussy people taking over to the point no-one has any balls. Same with Schwarzenegger, they're pretty lame movies. But there are some films which were brilliant.
Conan the Barbarian is one of the best films of all time. Total Recall was a good film. He made a number of comedies people liked. He kind of killed his career with that Governor crap. I don't see him ever being like he was before. Will have to wait to see if Terminator Genesis can do well for him. I hope it will.
I say it all the time, the Politically Correct movement is removing peoples ability to think for themselves and have a personal opinion. The mindless generation of stupid people starring at their phones all day means peoples brains are in a hypnotic and suggestible state. Then they get fed an overload of meaningless information laced with whatever the masters want them to think, and you get people trying to diss real action heroes.
Dolf Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Jean Claude Van Dam were all world Karate champions. Schwarzenegger was Mr. Universe or something. You're quite right, these pansy assed little hipster douche bags don't know what a real man is.
Scientologists love Narnia, there's plenty of closet space.

Hipsters are moron ,thats why.

There is a pridefulness in Stallone and Co. that threatens the hipster's commonplace attitudes of self-deprecation
Hipsters crapping themselves doesn't sound like a commonplace attitude to me.

it too bad all that "pridefulness" "machismo" and aggressiveness and muscles from Stallone and Schwarzenegger comes from decades of steroid use

I'm glad I grew up idolizing those guys and loving their movies. I'm 28 btw.
Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

In other words: I think Hipsters dislike Stallone and Schwarzenegger because they're f-a-g-g-o-t-s.

well lets be honest. a lot of traditional fans are so fed up with hollywood that they are completely boycotting theaters all together.
add to that arnnie and sly coming out saying civilians,should not have firearms while guys like stallone are known well in the gun community for some of their collections of full auto machine guns and private indoor shooting ranges inside their homes. In the end they pissed off a big part of their audience because of thier own sense of ego driven elitism. The same very thing causing many people to boycott hollywood reguarding other issues of political undertones, religion etc.
a lot of people just dont want to support it anymore.
Bruce willis has not suffered at the box office as much because he came out in support of gun rights time and time again.
In the end arnnie and stallone have lost touch with their fans and trashed them while still expecting them to support their projects. Pretty ignorant from a business standpoint. I used to think these guys were intelligent but .even if they believe people should not have gun rights..why in the world would you crap on your fanbase like that. Maybe they think all their fans are antigunnersLOL.

sounds more like you guys have the issue. Like you guys are overcompensating with your manliness, cos you are afraid of your feminine side. If I believed in the same type of pseudo psycho babble analysis you'd made, I'd say your fear of hipsters and non-aggresive male role models is a sign of repressed homosexuality.
but luckily for you, I don't believe in stereotyped psychoanalysis, the type you have used. So I won't label you a repressed homosexual, but will just say you need to learn to differentiate between aggressive, assertive and passive.
Men are by nature meant to have strong traits, strong means assertive, strong willed, not aggressive or passive (feminine trait).
yes you are right, there is some gender blending going on in hollywood with men being made into effeminate role models, and woman made into masculine figures. And i also dislike the angst grief ridden self pitying selfdeprecating comic book hero that every hero is now portrayed as. And which everyone is mimicking nowadays. Those films and male role models are not good either, but I can enjoy them still if done right.
but that don't mean, your stereotypes are true, of hipsters or of real men (which you are defining as this aggressive (non-existent in real world) hollywood action stereotype). Those men exist in real life as much as fairies do.
Its the equivalent of a girl saying, a real woman is barbie. you are wrong on both counts, of what are hipters and what are real men.
But to go back to your point, action films are nice and all, but they are hardly the epitome of film making.
here are a few reasons why they the hipsters or in reality mainstream people dislike it

1. It comes of as corny and pretentious.
2. It comes of as arrogant and condescending.
3. it comes of as douchy, and stupid.
   First off, most actions scenes are all faked nowadays, not real, with camera cuts, safety lines, CG, edited wired movement etc. That hardly deserves respect, any tom dick or harry can pretend to be the toughest man alive, with millions of pounds thrown at the camera.
   Actors and actresses who know nothing of martial arts or fighting, are now routinely shown to be the toughest, most arrogant S.O.B's alive. Once you realise its all fake camera trickery, the illusion of respect for the toughness is gone. at that point, a film needs something more to hold it together, a good story, likeable characters etc.
   The age of hong kong film making, when the actors like jackie chan, sammo hung, bruce lee, brandon lee, actually did the crazy stuff in the films, garnered a lot of respect for these guys and the films. It meant the dialogue wasn't as corny, knowing they had actually done the crazy moves, and stunts for real.
   The present crop of actions films are all fake, so no one respects them, as they have nothing else other than corny "fake" toughness.
4. lastly too many doucehs can't seperate reality from fantasy and tend to think they are living in movies and thus play act tough like they are a hollywood movie character, which makes them and the movies that they emulate look bad.
   That wasn't the case with the golden age of action films 70's and 80's, when people knew they couldn't do the beep that jackie chan, Yuen Biao, was doing on the screen.
   Nowadays any tom dick or harry who works out in the gym, wears a t-shirt thinks he's some kind of tough guy like in the movies, and comes out popping those lines. Trying to act tough, by hunting in packs with their group of friends, bullying someone whose alone they know won't fight back, like a geeky nerdy kid with no back up. These cowards as the hipsters realise never pick fights or act tough with other bad guys or other tough guys, they are cowardly bullies who act tough by picking on the weak.
   And because these bullies are emulating the fake tough guys in movies, the hipsters probably also dislike the movies.
   ALL OF THE ABOVE IS COMING FROM SOMEONE LIKE ME, WHO LOVES REAL ACTION FILMS. I grew up on hong kong, bruce lee, and even van damme, seagul movies.
   So I don't think its simply to do with attributing effeminate traits to the hipsters, moaners, haters or rather the mainstream people, that causes them to dislike action movies.
   I think its simply to do with these 2 simple things
5. actions films being fake now and thus corny and cheesy
6. and action film fans behaving like dick heads
   it's the reason why people hate on beliebers, directioners, twihards etc. They are die hard fans who don't recognise the fakeness of their idols, and behave like idiots extolling something inferior as being superior.
   I appreciate actions films, i even liked this one, but its hardly on par with way of the dragon, prodigal son or shawshank redemption. Nor are any of the hipster movies.

lol what a load of patronizing retarded BS.
please explain Jason Statham's career dip$h1t.
And the last stand had plenty of self deprecating humor and it flopped.
what you don't get is that Stallones and Arnies careers were built on great scripts, talented directors and when all else fails huge budgets.
this had nothing it was terrible.

This movie was a good action flick. Not great. I suspect it was exactly what they set out to make. Not every movie needs to be a classic.

At the end of the day, the film is an entertaining but forgettable diversion. It's not even in Stallone's top 5 films. You guys are over-analyzing this way too much.

I don't know many hipsters so I'm in no position to either confirm or dismantle your op. I'd be inclined to agree though.
Still, your post doesn't come close to describing this and The Last Stand's failures imo. It's definitely true that the biggest movies these days are sequels or comic adaptations (though Scott Pilgrim, an epic hipster experience, bombed, making me wonder if hipsters are a huge demographic). But that only describes the few at the top. Wanted made a small fortune several years back and Source Code was a good original movie that made a good deal of $. Word of mouth likely helped those and hurt BttH and TLS. These days, 80s style action movies are direct to dvd and mostly pure garbage (plus action movies have evolved a bit beyond them, making them for better or worse mostly simple-minded throwbacks), so Sly and Arnold had that against them. Releases in January and Feb may not have helped their cases, as did the relative lack of studio promotion.
At the end of the day, people saw two largely generic movies starring ancient action stars trying to live their glory days each with 1/12 the cast of The Expendables movies and said "no". I saw both movies and enjoyed them enough but their best days are behind them.

Stallone wore tight jeans in this movietight, emo. black. jeans. And he bought into tattoo culture that has enveloped the hipster scene. Are you pissed yet? Lol.
Hipsters aren't the reason Hollywood makes beep action scripts nowadays. Hollywood is. If you can't even makea film whose sole purpose is to blow beep up, and kill a bunch of bad guys in an awesome way, then it's no ones fault but the people in charge. It's called accountability. The cut every corner they can, sellout for the cheaper no name actor who is awkward onscreen, and butcher it once it's been rushed to editing because the greedy shareholders want immediate return, and we end up with a stinking beep film that has abysmal numbers, and everyone is clueless as to why. The genre is dead because the originators of it are dinosaurs and there has yet to be a successful "passing of the torch" (except maybe the rock). Face it. It's pretty much over. We got to experience something fantastic in cinematic history. Don't cheapen it by being bitter that it fizzled out. I will continue to support my old action heroes until the very end, but I'm not going to pretend that the world is not a different place now.

I like 80s movies since I grew watching them but this movie was utterly craptastic. It was bad beyond bad.
