The Expendables

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @saintpepsi

To say American's have an obsession with Violence is the understatement of the year. In fact there have been studies done to show that Hollywood tends to release more and more violence porn during a war to get people used to images of gore so they are less affected by images from real life. After seeing the Expendables I would have to agree. Dear god, the amount of carnage in this movie comes close to all the Rambo's combined.  Using a sheer geek level of satisfaction with small cameo's by huge action stars, the film starts with a slight hardcore save from the team you will be getting used to seeing in the near future.  Without going into to many details shit gets tore up.  After that is a good 45 min of character build up with a few bad ass fight scenes and car chases. For a movie that borders on the imbasilic as far as believability, the car chase scenes actually are pretty believable. Every other action scene is so far over the top that you just stand there. Yes, I said STAND there because you get up out of your seat to cheer for your bloody heroes. The whole movie comes to a giant fuck off shoot out that starts in a cellar and over the next 30 minutes makes its way above ground with so many kills Sly must have been trying to break his own record on top of the 50 cal from Rambo.  I will put this out there if you are looking for a movie with a plot this weekend go see Scott pilgrim vs the world.  If you are looking for the most bad ass, bloody as hell, gore filled two hrs of mangasim you can stomach... i trust you will make the right choice and get a ticket to the Expendables. Do not... I repeat... DO NOT! go into that theater witha film critic eye for plot and story substance . My dear friend you will find none of that here. As far as an homage to old senseless action movies from the past; it stands up pretty well.  Really, all it's missing are all the amazing one liners.  That's both a blessing and a curse. The one lines while repeated for years to come really weren't a cherry on top of a fight scene so much as a reason to grown and smile. No time for one liners in this movie I'll promise you that. If mindless violence from some of the top actions stars from the past 5 decades is all you want.  You will be golden with this flick and get every pennies worth you paid for your over priced ticket. There ya go and I didn't drop any spoilers... not that you can for a movie without a lot of plot. Meh, whatever. Go see it and for the love of good if your girlfriend of boyfriend isn't into action movies don't drag them into this one, it will only give them a reason to never trust your judgement call ever again when you say, "Honey, I'm sure it won't be that violent."
