The Expendables
by Gary Barnidge on August 14th, 2010
The action movie of all action movies is what people were billing it with all the action stars that were included in this movie. The Expendables is a movie about mercenaries that are to go to a little Island and get rid of a corrupt leader but when I watched the movie there wasn’t much a plot it goes back in forth from one thing to another and just can get a little confusing. When you see all the action stars that are in this movie you expect big things in action and the fight scenes don’t disappoint. There are some amazing fight scenes with some crazy things going, but when it comes to the special effect this movie really lacked. There is one scene where a building blows up it looks like something out of an 80′s movie with how fake the special effects were. When it comes to the acting in the movie you can expect much because none of the guys are the best actors out there but they dont need to be because they are action stars and that’s what there movies are based on. The acting by the all the actors just looked forced and they all look out of their element in the acting scene like they are all trying to be the best actor they can be even when they aren’t great actors.
Sylvester Stallone usually always stars in the movies he directs and his character is always one of the main guys but in his previous movies in which he directed he didn’t have to share the screen with other big name actors that compete with him with onscreen time and that takes away for what he was doing as a director. In the previous films he directed such as Rambo and Rocky Balboa the main characters had something to prove and in this movie its just a cluster of guys fighting with really no reason or purpose.
All in all this is a true action movie but its not a great overall movie I was very disappointed with the movie in a whole. The special effects lack tremendously and the movie is hurt by the lack of acting. I would give the movie a 4 out of 10.
