The Expendables - possible spoilers
« on: August 22, 2010, 02:51:56 PM »
ok... so I went to see The Expendables and I learned a few things today...

frist.. Sylvester Stallone needs to not run again......ever...  not that he doesnt have some hustle left but he just looks all strokie when he does.. he has that inverted Elvis lip thing going and when he runs it just does weird things..  and he just looks... deformed to me.. maybe its the steroids.. I dunno.. just.. not pretty..

another thing not pretty, Steve Austin on fire... But something that IS pretty...  Terry Crews with what ever kind of butt kicking gun he had.. holy $%#@!!!  had to wipe the drool off my chin.. for the gun.. not Terry.  AND he had a straight razor with his "name" (Hail Ceaser) on it.  Santa, if your listening.. yes please.. you know I loves me some sweeny knives.

Still another thing not pretty... Dolph Lundgren... period, enough said right there -lol

I also have come to realize that Jason Statham doesn’t get to smile much in movies.. he always has that stoic look on his face that says, yeah, sooner or later I’m gonna beat your ass..   But, when he smiles.. wow... it and the fact in this movie he played with knives and generally kicked butt all over the place has solidified him in first place on the defiantly would do list.

Even Mickey Rourke was workin it in the film.. small part, but very cool.. creepy looks, but cool character, also good with knives
 
So.. overall rating.. any movie where I end up bouncing in my seat and clapping my hands like a school girl before I catch myself and stop it gets a “hell yeah” from me.   5 stars.. LOTS of bang for your bucks. explosions, guns, knives, blood and a little water boarding = loads of fun!

Papa, I think we have a winner for next years gathering movie!!
 
In the end we're all just chalk lines on the the concrete.  Drawn only to be washed away. For the time I've been given, I am what I am

I went to see this yesterday and you are pretty right on with it. My only complaint (and it is a stupid one because of the type of movie it is) was that the parts between the action scenes were just unbearable. The whole Jet Li thing about his family, and then the poem at the end-terrible.

The action was great.. I thought they did not use Jet Li enough, he was kind of an afterthought. I also thought Eric Roberts would be used more, after all remember him in those "Best of the Best" movies?

Go for a matinee, you will have a great time

yeah... I would have actually like to have seen his family at some point...  but the parts about him being a lil feller and he should get paid more because of it was pretty funny.  could have cried when they shot up that very nice truck..   I didnt think the parts between the action were too bad.. I guess if the action out ways the in between times I can deal...

Downloaded it Saturday.  Will have to look at it at some point.
