Re: Anyone going to see The Expendables?

The wife and I just got back from seeing this movie and it was everything I expected and more.  (My expectations were apparently lower than they should have been.  🙂 )  As I previously read, if you’re a fan of those old action movies from the previous era, you’ll love this movie.  I also think they kept it more “real”, which was a nice, somewhat unexpected departure.  A number of things you could see coming from miles away, both scenes and dialog, but it was still quite enjoyable.  Explosions, killing, fighting, one-liners… it’s all there.  I saw quite a few couples there.  Maybe everyone has as great a significant other as I do, who actually enjoys movies like this, but I got the feeling a number of the females in the theater were dragged there.  😉

My verdict:  Just go see it!  ;D
