It succeeded on what it set out to do

Rating: 7/10 (27 August 2012)

The only disappointment I had with this was that they weren't as many as I imagined. One of them was only in it for a while. With that out of the way I thought it was a very good action movie. Characters had their share of good scenes (albeit short) and the spectacular cameos made up for my only problem with the movie. I didn't find anything to dislike, it was the coming together of iconic action stars and seeing them in one big movie is simply worth it in itself. It was heavy with explosions and action scenes sprinkled with humor coming from banter between the stars. Popular action movie quotes were sporadic throughout the movie and there was one scene that played with them humorously. I believe I was smiling from the inside when I saw that scene.
My expectations helped me enjoy the movie. I got what I came for and I think they succeeded what they set out to do: To kick butt in the most epic way possible.
