So this is the equivalent of watching a porno with John Holmes' limp dick. You get it? So "The Expendables" which looked like it would be the end all action movie. Composed of the most ass kicking stars out there why wouldn't it be? Well first of all watching the movie I felt certain big stars were left out (Segal, Van Damme, Norris, Snipes etc). The film has made promises it couldn't keep. The remaining action stars are mostly on the same side in the fight, poor choice. We want to see who's the best and what Jet Li would look like fighting Stallone (we get two instances of this, not enough). The actual movie also has a boring plot and not much attraction. The character's are small minded and dull. Instead of prop gore they give us CGI blood which looks awful. This movie has a lot problems and not enough good qualities to make up for it. It's overall a failure on what could have been something very special. Part of me blames Stallone, they guy does not know how to write interesting characters anymore.
5/10
Recommendation: It's not what it cracks itself up to be, I'd pass it by but maybe you'll still want to give it a chance for some reason or another. However since it's been out for a bout a year, if you haven't seen it already there's no real point.
