As long as you only go into expecting an action flick it rocks. Was great seeing all those action heroes in one move... even the cameo.

it is the worst movie i've ever sat through. i hilariously attempted to pay attention to the plot. really though, the point where the transporter is sticking his stupid head out of a hole in the nose of a flying plane with no glasses or goggles or anything on and he's just sitting there all eyes open like the wind wouldn't force his eyes shut and blind him at that speed was mind bottling to me. and why was he even in there? the guns were mounted inside the nose. he couldn't aim them. why didn't the pilot just have a little trigger for them? ruined my whole suspension of disbelief so early in it's retarded time frame.

If you're not a man and don't consider Commando and Rocky 4 as two of the greatest movies ever, I don't know why you would even watch this movie.

i'm not a man and i don't consider commando and rocky 4 as even remotely good, let alon the greatest movies ever. despite that, i do enjoy action movies occasionally. i somewhat enjoyed the first 2 transporters and what have you. i like watching well choreographed fighting. this movie had none of that.

The dialogue was awful, the acting (obviously) was awful. It was painfully slow in a few places and it had a lot of the completely unbelievable action cliches like enemies standing around waiting to be shot and weapons (grenades) being completely absent in one scene then magically in infinite supply in the next.
They tried to give it a message with the whole saving the girl thing but it was a limp-wristed attempt made worse by Stallone's inability to convey an emotion.
A 'mindless action flick' has to maintain some standard of quality and this film lacked in too many of them. I can deal with bad dialogue and acting if the story is good and the action is entertaining and I can deal with a weak plot and cliche'd action if the characters and acting are good. You can't have bad dialogue, weak story, tons of cliches and ridiculous acting and not suck.
I rolled my eyes and almost shut it off when the two wrestlers had their showdown. I'm sure this movie was extremely popular in the pro wrestling segment of the population.

Yoss and Cao seem to have missed the point here. The 80's was full of cheesy, ridiculous action movies with lots of bullets and living cartoons delivering bad one liners while they flexed for the camera...movies like Commando, Rambo, Rocky 3-4, Bloodsport. They weren't exactly oscar contenders, but it didn't matter.
The Expendables was Stallone's homage to those movies, which should be obvious from the casting. If you were expecting a slick, smart, choreographed action movie, you were in the wrong place.
