What a fun ride! Honestly if my next relationship doesn’t start with a little light kidnapping I don’t want it.

I didn't have many hopes going into this movie, as the premise seemed like it would just be a bunch of hackneyed jokes about old geezers not understanding the modern world. So it was a great surprise when in fact the whole team is shown to be as good as they always were, and no one else is even very surprised about that. It's got kind of a weird history where the original graphic novel was a very dark and serious story about the country's most feared and violent black ops agent getting dragged out of his happy retirement and going on an unstoppable killing spree, so I have no idea who looked at that and thought it could be turned into a comedy movie, but I'm so glad it happened because it's a blast the whole way through. I just have one minor complaint, that it very much feels like the studio stepped in and told the crew they couldn't say anything bad about the American government, so after most of the movie seems like a very hard-hitting story about a conspiracy that reaches to the top levels of power, it abruptly turns out to instead be just this one jackass who went rogue. But that's such a small part of the movie that it's easy to overlook and just have fun like I'm supposed to.

Ah! I had no idea it was based on a graphic novel! I might want to check that out.

"Say it ain't so, Joe" comes from an urban legend about the 1919 Black Sox scandal, where eight White Sox players were permanently banned from pro baseball after a conspiracy to throw the World Series for high stakes gamblers. Supposedly a little kid said it to one of the players, Shoeless Joe Jackson, as he was leaving the courtroom, which has been pretty well debunked but still ended up in the film of the event, Eight Men Out (which would make a great "no prior reactions" pick for next time).
