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
