Care bears on acid

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2010)

The expendables was brilliant. I had high expectations, and they were pretty much met. I was expecting a nostalgic return to the cliché 80's action genre. The one-liners, mindless destruction, ridiculous action sequences, powerful explosions. But what I saw was a modern look at the genre. Don't get me wrong, the film was still brilliant - but I think it took itself too seriously - well it had its moments of humour and there were times when it went over the top, but it just didn't have that 80's action charm - I don't know how to explain it, but it was still good. It has so many action legends that everyone will have one they love in it, I myself hoped for a bit more screen time from Arnie, but i knew deep down it would never of happened. Overall a harmless entertaining action flick! a joy to watch!
