'The Expendables' - High-Def Digest Review

[irascian]

I would rate this as one of the worst films I saw this year (and I saw a lot). Where to start? Dreadful dialog, dreadful acting (especially from Schwarzanegger and Stallone - wooden doesn't even beging to cover it), hackneyed action set pieces. There was no chemistry at all between the two leads Stallone and Statham, and the plot - jeez, hackneyed or what.

Over on the UK AVforums where they've just done their reviews of the 2010 releases one reviewer actually rated this nonsense as his "disc of the year", which I find REALLY scary.

I got this for christmas cuz my mom knew that there was a scene with both arnold and stallone, and i'm fans of both of them. just watched this and it was awesome

It reminded me a lot of the newest Rambo, which I also enjoyed, and not just because Stallone was the lead

Great, just great. I bought The Expendables yesterday and guess which extra is missing? "Inferno: The Making of 'The Expendables'", of course! Aaron calls it "impeckable" and I have to miss it. Hurrah. Not amused.
