Totally for GUYS!

Rating: 2/10 (10 September 2010)

We went to see "TheExpendables" because of the User Rating of 7 in IMDb. It's such a GUY movie - no plot - all fighting with a fair amount of blood and gore- the thinnest plot ever! I asked my husband - HE would give it a 7 - egad! Do NOT be fooled. Numerous movie lines delivered by the old timers (whom I adore) were disappointingly mumbled and difficult to understand. Several of the action scenes seemed to be played at a higher speed to make the fights look more vigorous. And the cut and paste of some of the action scenes make them difficult to follow. You have to just give up and enjoy the fighting for the sake of fighting (which is pretty much the only appeal of this movie). I expected a decent plot with the terrific cast of action hero actors. Obviously that wasn't the objective of this movie.
