Legit action but what's up with the script?

Rating: 6/10 (18 August 2010)

Before you read this comment do note that I thought The Expendables delivered amazing action sequences. However, one thing I noticed is that at times the script was very dull and a lot of lines seemed so bland and childish. Only some, however there were some cool lines, but others just felt sort of kiddie. Also, I felt as though the movie was rushed. Just as soon as the plot really begins to build up and make something of itself we are then told by Sly, that they have 23 minutes to shut the place down. Where did that come from? Why not continue to go slightly more in depth with the plot and really build something that will later be annihilated later. With all of the big names, the action definitely holds its own and really does deliver it's promise.
