I for one didn't. Loved the characters but hated the plot and story.With all those guys packed in one movie, I'd expected a good story but that was majorly lacking.Dunno bout everybody else but they should've had a back story on Arnold explaining his character a bit more...after all he was the leader of the first expendable team right? Then Gunnar guy changes sides,gets shot and in the end gets back with the team??? WTF???? Also who the hell is Tool??? he was an Expendable but theres no bio of him other than him being a tattoo artist and who loved bikes and babes??Seriously guys this movie is for the dumpster. The characters were great though... and i cant wait to make some customs of them working as Joe alliance team...some what like the Renegades but more independent and professional.or maybe they'd be the Joe's predecessors and have a back story as the Expendables were retired and G.I.Joe came into existence and the Expendables trained the Joes into the fighting force they are at present.

i've always assumed that assembling the cast for an ensemble film is so exhausting that everything else (writing, directing) gets kinda back burner-ed. Tarantino and Rodriguez seem to be able to hold it together for the most part. Whedon is king of it via television. I think that between all the money and paper work and egos... the script is probably the last thing that gets tended to in these situations.

I went in expecting to see my favorite action stars blowing stuff up, blood spurting everywhere, maybe a few good lines of banter, and some amazing action sequences. And that's what I saw. I was not expecting an oscar winning script, if you were - it's not the movie for you. It was worth the ticket to me, and I enjoyed it.

wasn't expecting an Oscar grade movie but hoped for a better plot...some flashbacks of the team member's personal lives,hoped they'd show Ying Yang's family in the end[them being the team members]a little more of gunnar's treachery[which in the end would reveal he was working undercover and was with the team all along.A bit of Tool's character as the guy who procured all their 'merchandise'[weaponry and vehicles..maybe make him the pilot]and a flashback of Arnold's team pitted against Stallone's team where their competition and rivalry is shown....

I have yet to see it but for a movie full of stars whose careers are based on movies where action comes first and plot is always secondary, I don't have high expectations for a story of any kind.
Fighting, blowing stuff up, that I expect to be in full force.

I'm seeing it tomorrow and I expect; stuff being blown up, guys getting shot, bad dialogue, a "story" based on stuff being blown up and guys getting shot up.
Let's face it the movies these guys made weren't known for great plots. They were action flicks. Sure someone can argue about the merits of a film each guy made but what's the point. They made the movie knowing it was based solely on their action appearances not the Academy Awards. |
