The Expendables – Expectations

Arnold and Sylvester in the same movie? Are you kidding me? This is either going to be the greatest man movie of all time or the hugest catastrophic testosterone swelling flick ever.
I have noticed that i seen to have been cultivated into watching movies that make me sensitive to everyone’s needs but my own. It’s like every movie these days has to have some moral to the story that teaches you how to care more. For the love of all things that guzzle gas, drives fast, explodes and punches people in the head then says a cheesy one liner, I hope this movie does not have a soft side. I hope it brings back what Sylvester was trying to bring back with his latest version of Rambo. MAN-NESS. I hope for a sound track that consists of hard rock with lots of guitar and animal on the drums, some real masculine non-douchebag sounding rap song, and some hard liquor country music.

This is not some low budget movie. It’s Bruce Willis Dolph Lundgren and Jet li. So I expect tons of expensive cars flipping over while exploding while being chased by an 18 wheeler.
This should be the action movie of all action movies. If I see one hint of emotion other than pure rage in the opening scene, I will walk out.

The Expendables might be the craziest most action packed action movie of the past ten years. It might be something our kids get brought back from fat sqishyness and into actual adventure games.
Where is Chuck Norris, Clint Eastwood Fonzie?
