You get exactly what you're expecting

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2010)

Going into this movie I expected gory ultra-violence, tongue-in-cheek jokes based on careers, intermittent and absurd one-liners, and a lot of explosions. That is exactly what you get when you watch this movie. The plot is well enough to prevent the feeling that you're just watching a series of explosions, however the action is clever and the dialogue is really what you would expect. And with most of the major action stars from the past two decades, having realistic expectations going in, I was very pleased with this movie.
The CGI in certain parts were pretty flawed, but I found the movie so entertaining as a whole that it didn't make me lose interest. This is just a really good action movie. Definitely worth the price of admission.
Another thing, is that I find that I really miss the old '90s action movies. Action movies with over-the-top, while sometimes dry, humour and the gratuitous nature in any way that might get someone excited. Maybe this is a sign that those kinds of movies will begin being made again.
I give this movie 7/10 which is a very good rating for me.
