Testosterone Action Fest

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2010)

See it Now! My Critical Perspective: B- Personal Perspective: A-
Sylvester Stallone first was Rocky. Then he was Rambo and now he is Barney Ross, the leader of The Expendables. He is the ultimate action hero, but is not alone as he directs some of Hollywood's biggest action heroes of the past 40 years. (Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren AKA The Russian from Rocky IV, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Steve Austin, Randy Couture and Mickey Rourke)
The Good: The film is exactly what you think it is going to be which is a testosterone packed action fest. The film knows its identity and does not go onto unnecessary tangents sub stories. The whole point of the film is to get these actors together to kick some major ass!
The Bad: The film does not totally develop all of the characters and tends to focus mainly on two or three of the expendables (Sylvester Stalone, Jason Statham, and Dolph Lundgren). Also, there are some scenes that are unclear and confusing and do not seem to flow very well.
Final Thought: The stunts and special effects combined with these action heroes make the film what it is a nonstop action film with no strings attached. A very enjoyable flick! Therefore, I recommend to See It Now! In theaters!
