I saw the first one with my dad in the theater, and because I had watched all of Arnie and Stallone's movies with him while growing up, we loved it!

It's just the kind of move my dad would have taken her to, so I'm sure there was some of that mixed in with her enjoyment. <br /><br />I grew up watching many of those actors. And while I love a good action movie, I am not sure this (or the prequel) is one I would see unless there's nothing else available.<br /><br />You are such a brave mom!
