I'm unashamedly a fan of brainless action films, but was unfortunately a touch disappointed with this effort. I was perhaps hoping for this to be a spiritual successor to Commando (a real guilty pleasure for me), but felt that Stallone's own Rambo (2008), and the ludricrous Taken filled that role more competently. This is not to say that this is entirely without a smattering of fun; however, the promise lent by the cast doesn't really come to fruition, and overall the film feels a tad clumsy.

The Expendables starts of well, but only goes downhill afterwards. The opening scene is one of brilliance, but after that, it loses steam quickly. The writing stops being clever, the action stops being entertaining, and there is little to hold your interest up until the final 20 minutes, when the film starts to pick back up again. This can't save it though, because there's just too much downtime to make it a worthwhile watch.

It's like a match made in heaven, lots of action stars coming together to make a badass film, only it didn't quite turn out that way. Story was boring, action scenes were semi-decent, too many actors and so few time for them. Just a mess through and through.

You're better off watching ANY 80s action movie. In terms of both action and plot, there is little to no creativity or depth to be found. This was a sad excuse to get a group of action stars together into one film. Disappointing because I thought Sly did a decent job with the latest Rambo.

It promises a lot and delivers not even half of what you expect, but I guess there is some good action here -- the comedy is really annoying.

Considering the cast, this was a let down. But that tends to happen when you assemble too much of something. It has its testosterone-filled fun moments, but wait for the DVD.

Mother of all action films. Any movie that features Randy Couture pile-driving a FLAMING Stone Cold Steve Austin is alright in my book. Also it's funny at times. Definitely surpassed my expectations, and one of my favorite movies of 2010.

Action movies are a guilty pleasure of mine, but this one just flopped hard for me.

This movie more then any other will be exactly what you thought it would be before you watched it.

Terrible film, the youtube teaser was better! No development of any kind worth mentioning in any of the characters and/or the story.

The script seems to have been cobbled together out of deleted lines from other action movies. A couple of the fight scenes are decent enough. I think exploding bodies are the new exploding trucks (although this movie has a surplus of the latter as well).

Was expecting a lot less.. Some great original dialogs. They were often sooo cheesy, they actually became cool :). Great action. The only thing that wasn't that good was the "A-Team factor", which means no goodguys get hurt and manage to kill millions of badguys anyway. I'm happy they chose just 3 main heroes. Great to see the difference in talent, acting wise. Statham stays number One for me.

Things go boom. People get beat up. Were you really expecting anything else?
