While I know that the Expendables movie isn't a horror film I did want to do a review on it because I saw it, and I didn't hate it.
If you've seen the first two movies you already kinda know the plot...a bunch of older soldiers take jobs that involve guns, fighting and killing. The movies star Sylvester Stallone as the leader of this government sanctioned group.
The earlier movies were a little funnier than this, making more fun of the actors and what they have done in real life or what rumors or urban legends surround them. This one was no exception, with Wesley Snipes out of prison and making movies he was a big butt of a few of the jokes, and they were quite hilarious (do your research on Mr. Snipes before seeing this movie). Jason Statham is hilarious as always, but the rest of the cast kinda gets lost in the story. Although I have to admit, no matter how much I like Snipes and Statham, the scene stealer was Antonio Banderas...he couldn't have been better!
So the story follows the group as they fail in a mission, then are replaced by a bunch of youngsters, at the behest of Stallone. It is of course somewhat predictable so I can't say too much about what happens, but there is a lot of action, some really bad and some really good jokes, and there is a lot of really cute men and boys.
Not a great movie, not a horrible one, this is best watched on a hot day when you have nothing else to do and a couple of hours to kill.
