Action nostalgia

Rating: 6/10 (27 August 2011)

The Expendables 2 film got into the news and I got curious what the first film was like, so I watched this one. I have grown up with Arnold Schwarznegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke and I used to look up to these men as a kid, so it was great nostalgia to see those men back in business again. Mickey Rourke actually surprised me with some real acting moment actually, kudos for him, but to bad it was wasted in the wrong film, because this baby was all about action, hahaha! The film is a sorry-excuse story just to blow up some stuff and beat the crap out of some stupid people that got in the way, as of course expected. In that way the film really delivers and if you wanted anything else, then you are just a fool for even attempting to look for it in this film.
I hope the governator is coming back in the sequel with Jean-Claude van Damme, Christopher Lambert and Christian Slater. Would be cool to see Mr. T. and Jackie Chan as well, but I guess I am asking for to many 80's/90's actionheros now.
All in all I am going to give this film 6 out of 10; it was great entertainment, but a higher grade would be really to much.
