The Expendables
there are no words - Sarah
I cannot begin to describe how brainless and cheesy this film is! Its just ridiculous!
first of all, the only good thing about this film for me was Statham. Now that I have that out of the way, let me say that 1. Stallone is a rubbish actor, I never liked him. some people do but I dont. 2. the story is just pathetic. so stereotypical , who in their right mind thought that they could pull off this film by just throwing all these action movie actors together and hoping for the best.
3. Arnie was only in it for a minute. As was Willis. why even bother putting their names on the poster. for all the names listed on the credits, only about 4 of them spend more than 5 mins on the scene.
4. I just cant believe they are making a 2nd one
:(
