The Expendabiles.

Postby Randy » Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:33 pm

So I saw this movie a week ago and thought it was pretty good. Though a few things could have easily been left out. The movie didn't really need Randy Courture at all and I couldn't think any reason why Terry Crews was in it, besides the fact that Stallone couldn't get Wesley Snipes due to him cheating on his taxes.. Also it seemed like Stallone TRIED to give us character development and subplots, but then decided to drop the ball.

Hell Mickey Rourkes character had a really good back story and character, and yet he was only in the film for around 15-20 min... I would have liked to see a bit more character development for most of the cast.

Personally I'd have been happy with less. Character delevopment and engaging plot lines wasn't really what I went to see the film for.

I would have liked to see a bit more fighting and explosions.

I saw this today and Im sorry but it was appauling.

The dialogue was beyond laughable and for those actors, the acting was pathetic.

There wasnt a plot, and im surprised the studio even gave them one dollar to make the film.

The only highlight was the insane clip with the shotgun in the corridor, and the joke about Arnie wanting to be president.

If i hadnt of been with friends who wanted to see it through, I would of walked out in the first twenty minutes.

Seriously, anyone thinking of going to see it - don't, save your money for a decent action movie like Salt (even though that has its flaws) or somethign worthwhile like Inception.
