The Expendables -4 out of 5 stars

1hr 43min‎‎ - Rated R‎‎ - Action/Adventure‎/Thriller
Staring director, Sylvester Stallone; Bruce Willis; Jason Statham; Dolph Lundgren; Jet Li; Mickey Rourke; Terry Crews; Steve Austin; Randy Couture; Eric Roberts; and a cameo appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A team of mercenaries is assembled for an assignment in Cuba where the body count mounts to their credit, only adding to the mayhem caused by two of them from a resent trip to the island. This is definitely no chick flick, where it's fashionable to view loads of violence, hand-to-hand combat, boys behaving badly, and lots of explosions - including human heads.

Alright Carowinds Connection...Who's seen it, who's going?

I would give it 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.
Very quickly into the movie, they decided to abandon the thought a well thought out story line and just shoot everything.

That's 4 out of 5 stars for the people who are a little depressed and need to be stirred a bit by many things blowing up all over the screen. Hollywood hasn't released one like that in a while, and in someways it is gratifying.

How did you like Arnold Schwarzenegger's role?
We find out very quickly he was only used as a big name draw. He left the screen almost as quickly as he'd walked in, never to be seen again, simulator to Terminator 4 where his face was digitally used in the end of the film. His name should not even be in the staring list of Expendables.
