The Expendables.

Explosions, punctuated by explosions, followed by explosions on the back of your eyelids when you blink for up to three hours post-movie.

Personally I was disappointed that after all those explosions Stallone didn't even get the babe. Personally after blowing up all that stuff I'd have taken what who I wanted as thanks.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

I was most disappointed that Terry Crews didn't have any real memorable scenes.  Didn't the producers see Idiocracy?  so much potential wasted. 

Overall, it was definitely entertaining though.

In fact, I thought everyone but Stallone was worth watching....maybe he'll sit out the sequel...

....really liked the Jet Li/ Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture/Steve Austin fights....pure fun....  =D
Impressed yet befogged, they grasped at his vivid leading phrases, seeing only their surface meaning, and missing the deeper current of his thought.

I really enjoyed it. Balls to the wall action for most of the film.
When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt, run in little circles, wave your arms and shout!
