“The Expendables” is a seventy million dollar action based film directed by Sylvester Stallone. It’s one of the most awaited new movies with a massive star cast, and supreme action packed scenes. The film is a tribute to veteran action stars of the 1980’s and the 90’s.

Sylvester Stallone sets up a team on a mission film, who are all set to destroy a dictator in South America. The growing corruption and suffering along with other evils, compels the U.S government and other Nations to form a secret military squad to save the South Americans from the evil clutches of a dictator, who has been ruling the country for over 20 years.

Why you care

The Expendables has all our favorite lead characters from when we were kids, all joining up to kick some serious ass!

The Men

Seriously though, have you seen a leading cast like this before? All of the buys are over 50, and have bodies of 20 yr olds. Can you say HGH?

Before you start ripping on me for accusing any of the Expendables cast of doing steroids, just stop. You’ll never convince me Couture isn’t doing HGH. Look at Stallone’s body, he’s bigger than he was 25 years ago.

Reminds me of

The upcoming movie, The Expendables reminds me of action movies of the 90’s like Die Hard and True Lies.

Interesting Fact

Reports suggest that the budget for the movie was estimated to cross over $100 million, but few expensive action scenes were dropped to cut down the budget to $70 million.

The Good

Sylvester Stallone has done a wonderful job of gathering Hollywood’s toughest action icons for his new movie, The Expendables. This movie would be a delight for all those hardcore action fans.

The Bad

The Expendables was originally set to be released on April 23, 2010, but now the fans have to wait until August, 2010 to see this explosive action packed movie.

Our Clever Prediction

A film with pathetic cliche’s , terrible acting and predictability shouldn’t get much of a look these days. This film is basically Rambo 6, with a better supporting cast.

The Expendables is probably going to do some serious damage at the box office, even if everything about it is idiotic. Will people still flock to a Stallone action movie not called ‘Rocky’ or ‘Rambo’? Sadly, yes.
