Post Expendibles 2
Loved it. The great 80's action homage it is meant to be. If you look hard enough you can find all kinds of faults, but really, what's the point?

I'm seeing it tomorrow. Looking forward to it too. Leave the brain at home, see some good old-fashioned 80's action flick. :D

Actually, I think The Expendables actually look through their gunsights, unlike your typical 80s action hero. ;) </pedantic>

If tomato sauce equals violence and cheese is cheese, then this movie is pizza. And I love pizza especially with extra violence and cheese!

I was well entertained. Good thing they added Van the Muscles from Brussels Damme. :D

If they'd have cut 1/2 of Crews' lines, it could've been much better. Also, the 2 or 3 genuinely funny moments in the movie were invariably tromped on by a gratuitous tag line intended to be a catch phrase. Even the oh-so-meta Chuck Norris telling a Chuck Norris joke was spoiled by his wooden delivery.

But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it.

And, hell! VanDamme might've been the best actor in the bunch!

Scary, but probably true. :D
