I went and saw The Expendables on monday night. Yes, i left my family home and went to a rated R movie with my dad and my brother. I'm a good mom? But let me just say how FREAKING AWESOME i thought the movie was! Fighting on the big movie screen always makes me giddy :] 2 of my favorite fighters are Jet Li and Jason Statham, both of which are in this show. The fight scenes were so great that i screamed out loud (from excitement, not blood although there was plenty) 3 different times! I was giggling and clapping most of the movie because Stallone did a fantastic job at making the fights look as 'out of sight' as possible.
It's impossible to see what is coming because the choreography moves so fast! That's what gives everything the constant element of surprise. You've seen fighting before, but i swear, nothing like this! It is the most fun i've had at a movie in a long time :]
Stallone was seriously injured a couple times, and constantly injured during the filming of the fight scene he had with Steve Austin. It's crazy! I've never really loved Stallone, but i can honestly say...in all nerdyness...that he did an awesome job at putting together this movie and acting as it's main star as well. The acting isn't the very best, but it really doesn't matter...lots of one liner's and it's funny and intense all at the same time.
There's a couple of cameos that are great (Arnold), but i really think the silent weapon in this movie is Terry Crews. He is totally bitchin! I will forever be faithful to Statham and Li, but i now have a new found love for Crews :] So, if i went to this movie expecting to love it...I WAS RIGHT, it didn't disappoint!
