A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Nothing really fancy in this low brow action film. A group of veteran mercenaries are hired by the CIA to murder a general in a small Latin American island nation. The island was taken over by a former CIA spook who grows cocaine. The general's daughter is against them and aids "The Expendables" as they try to regain the island. No plot twists. Good mix of humor and action. Lots of killing and blowing things up.No sex or nudity, some F-bombs from Willis. Warning: some violence to women including water-boarding. There is a scene where Willis (CIA), Stallone and Arnold are all in a church. Willis is hiring to do a job. Arnold backs out and leaves at which point Willis asks, "What is his F#$%ing problem?" Stallone replies, "He wants to be president." If you didn't get enough of Stallone-Lundgren fighting each other in Rocky IV, they are at it again.
The Expendables was a huge success in the action hero movie world, which each individual actor having lots of action film titles under their action acting belt, but this was a dream come true for action fans that had Real Manly Men doing Real Manly Things, like blowing stuff up and guns going off and lots of bullets flying everywhere. YEAH! Mr. Sylvester Stallone is a genius director for this film and it shows. I give The Expendables a 8/10
complete piece of trash, I'm unable to watch more than 3 minutes to this kind of nonsense free violence with fairy Tale heroes, who the hell in this world likes to watch these "new" artificially bad guys movies, i could get it sub eighty's, but nowadays its annoying, no story, no roles, free non stop violence, fireworks and bad hi-tech effects. Man this is so far from reality that even hurts to think someone write this stuff to make a movie.
I guess the only reason I was interested in seeing this was because it was the last (or one of the last) movies to ever be reviewed on Siskel and Ebert or Ebert and Roeper or Roeper or whatever. I really didn't need to know anything about the plot at all, given that it was just a movie about a bunch of action stars getting together and blowing stuff up. That's what I thought I was getting and that's exactly what I got. There actually is a major complaint I have. The most famous star of all was Arnold Schwarzenegger and he barely appears in the film at all! I mean, I thought he'd at least appear at the end to rescue everybody.That really did annoy me. Even Bruce Willis didn't have much screen time. So, this movie features a bunch of action scenes and killing in all sorts of ways. The action was decent, but there just wasn't anything that good about the characters. It especially got clichéd at the end when they were talking about how the hero and villain were similar and everything. I guess I like the settings. It's just really nothing you haven't seen in many other action movies. I heard Eric Roberts was the most prolific actor out there and it was nice to see him in this movie. **1/2
