The Expendables delivers the goods

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2010)

Just saw this movie at 12:15pm today, and it was all that I was expecting and more. Being a big fan of action films, especially 80's action films, this movie really blew me away. It had every element of a good action film, all wrapped up in a nice little package. Now keep in mind, it's not going to win any Oscars, nor is it trying to, but it definitely accomplished what it wanted to do: Entertain!! There was plenty of action, humor, and some nice little side stories.
My biggest concern going in to this movie was how they would manage so many action superstars in one film. I think they nailed it perfectly. Stallone was awesome in his role, and I thought everyone of the actors played their roles well. I really liked Mickey Roarke's character. To me, none of the characters seemed forced or over the top, but when they were on screen, they seemed to mesh really well. Sorry to be so vague with my comments, but I don't want to give anything away.
I am by no means a movie critic, and I rarely comment on a film. I am sure a lot of people will nitpick, especially those that don't plan on watching it. Thats OK though, everyone will have their own opinions. I had pretty high expectations for this film, and when I left, I thought that it delivered the goods in a big way. Thats all that matters to me.
