If Testosterone & Explosions Had a Baby...

The Expendables
Clearly I wasn't the intended audience for this, but I still am able to see the appeal of having a movie with every action star possible in it. Yes, some of them had very limited screen time (after all you would hope running a state takes precedent over being in a movie), but with so many stars that's a little expected.

There wasn't a really strong plot, but I don't think people went into this movie hoping for something with a great plot. Instead picture everything possible you'd want in the ultimate action movie. And that really was it. Just as a recap, there was a car chase scene, hot girls, explosions, someone getting a tattoo, a girl being rescued from her abusive boyfriend, airplanes, explosions, torture, a girl being rescued from the evil villains, an evil dictator, lots of gory death scenes, and did I mention explosions?

It's not a movie I'd really be interested in seeing again. But for what it was, I'd say it lived up to expectations.
