The Expendables - 1 star out of 10

The Expendables - 1 star out of 10


"The Expendables" is a string of action sequences without much plot in between.  Unfortunately, each sequence lasts so long that by the end, it just isn't exciting anymore.  I was annoyed that several of the action heroes had their names in huge letters on the movie poster and appeared in non-action roles.  Bruce Willis is an incredible action star but if he is just going to have a non-fighting cameo, don't put his name with all of the others.  Props for bringing back the Russian from Rocky, but it wasn't enough to redeem this film.  I was expecting the ultimate guy movie and instead found a confused lot of action stars trying to figure out who were the important characters while others wondered why they received a random cameo.
