I have to say, my expectations were very high for this movie, I was an 90's kid, and I grown up watching these kid of all out actions movies, with all these faces, so it was a pretty pumped into seeing this movie. Sadly, it wasn't the greatest flick of all time, but it wasn't bad also. It delivered on all it promised, pure testosterone, explosions, bodies flying all around! First of all, congrats to the director and star, Sylvester Stallone, for getting the all star action cast together to kick as much ass as humanly possible, giving us a treat which we all 90's kids always dreamed about. The movie follows the proper action movie concept. Though guys, suicidal missions, bullets and knifes flying everywhere, yelling, running from explosions, constantly throwing wisecrack corny remarks. The plot, isn't very original or strong, it could have been done a lot better, and this is the only downside of the movie..I think it deserved more thought, it fells kinda incomplete and vague....The cast, as expected, was totally awesome. What could have been a disaster of conflicting egos, ended up being a perfect mercenary team, everybody in there right place. The long anticipated cameo was short, funny and cool, and I think it left a good mark on the movie, and a memorable moment in cinema history. All in all, this movie is just pure "menergy", a poem for the gun nuts, and a time travel moment for all us who grown up watching these dudes save the world endless times...thanks Sly for the memories, a job well done....
