I am very annoyed at this movie. Mainly because I'm going to have to wait for the DVD. After three weeks, my local theater still doesn't have it. So, I'm not going to get to experience an awesome action flick on the big screen. That just stinks.

Glad to hear there might be a sequel, though. Hopefully all the major players will return for it.

I finally got to watch "The Expendables" on DVD! It was pretty good! I hoped it would be better but it was still good enough that I'd watch it again sometime.

Funny seeing Sly Stallone play some other role than "Rocky" or "Rambo" though. He must have beefed up for this movie cause he looked almost good enough to go another round as Rocky Balboa, lol. That is my fondest wish but probably won't ever happen. I think he's through with "Rocky". :cry:

Another "Expendables" might not be out of the question though as the main players seem to survive, which is good.

Terrific to see Dolph Lundgren again in action, although I wish he had a bigger part in the movie. I keep forgetting that he was in the original "Masters Of The Universe" movie. He seems so different since those long ago days.

Mickey Rourke was awesome in this role. He actually had me almost crying in one scene.

I thought there were going to be more good guys aka expendables, but I guess I was wrong there.

One of the best scenes of the movie, imho, was Stallone, Willis, and Schwarznegger.....totally awesome!!! :yes:

I would totally watch this movie again, and hope they do a sequel.

I rented this recently myself. I'm glad to finally see it. It was fun. A perfect 80's action hero movie, as was said earlier. The movie was a little slow in some parts around the middle, but when the action does get going, it never lets up. Plenty of wonderful explosions and fights. And only villains got killed, so all the major players could return for a sequel!

I still need to see this. I mean, Jason Statham, Jet Li, AND Gary Daniels? Can a martial arts lover be even more blessed than that? (Yes he can, but that's not the point).

Jean-Claude Van Damme is enough to set my heart pounding with excitement!!!!! :happy_marle: :happy_marle: :happy_marle:


This "Expendables 2" movie might break all kinds of box office records if they can actually get all these actors together in one film. :clap:

Actor Sylvester Stallone recently won a court case regarding "The Expendables":

Good news, I guess. Perhaps this along with the recent success of the first "Expendables" movie will mean a long life for this series of films.
