Thoughts on the Expendables?
 
I saw it last night, incredible!!!

Nice tribute to the 80's action films of the past.

That I was. But I have parents, parents that were in the 80's, they were big fans of the Schwarzenegger films (Commando, Predator, Total Recall) and of course everyone has seen the Rocky and Rambo films.

So since I was born I've seen a lot of these movies.

Wow, you old buzzard :p

Thanks man, movies from the 80's and 90's were incredible.

Look at my avatar for my FAVORITE 90's film.

The Expendables was ok. Fairly predictable though. Looks like they spent most of the money on muscle and forgot about plot and story writing. Like you said good homage, but needed some kind of plot twist or something. I dunno. Kinda like Predators. Something was missing!

Yea, Predators was not nearly as good as the original.

i loved it and would love to see a few more of them. its true it wasnt story driven but none of the 80's action movies were. what i liked most was how very different each character was. no 2 alike and yet they interacted perfectly with one another.
