Promo Trailer here. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpWdd6QQqGo)
Release Date: April 23rd, 2010 (wide)
Starring: Jet Li, Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone
Directed by: Sylvester Stallone
Premise: Action fans will salivate over the power-packed cast of this film from actor-director Sylvester Stallone. The RAMBO star also takes a role in front of the camera, as do Jet Li and Jason Statham. THE EXPENDABLES' plot centers on a group of mercenaries who are hired to get rid of a South American dictator.
That link doesn't work in the states for some reason, but I've already seen the trailer (unless this is a different one) and spent a good half hour talking about this with a group of people a couple weeks ago.
It's one of those things where you start talking about it and more and more people join in. It's got so much ridiculous going for it, it's fascinating. Can't wait.
A B movie version of 'Rambo' and 'Ocean's 11'...Yeah baby, yeah. This looks like the ultimate action flick. Something every asshole can enjoy.
If you take away all the big action stars you just have a run of the mill direct to video action film. Nothing about this besides pairing up this cast seems even remotely interesting.
Also, it looks pretty fucking terrible.
This trailer reminds me of spoof action movie trailers that other movies will feature in their storyline. Even the cheap and dirt poor look to the production reaks of those spoof movie trailers. That being said, I could enjoy this but I don't care to build up any expectation. It reminds me of how I was able to enjoy the Condemned, but only could do so until waiting to see it on TV and being bored enough to be interested. The Expendables is going to have to find me on a boring night in a few years to make me even somewhat interested.
I really wanna see it.
For these kind of things to work it has to be honest, so I hope this is not some tongue-in-cheek shit or worst yet a 2009 Snakes-on-a-plane thing.
If the real thing looks as much of a joke as this trailer but it isn't a joke, it could be great. Pretty sure it will be self-aware bullshit tho

(everyone watch this.)
That made me NOT want to see the movie.
I thought this came out last year?
It looks like a trailer that Mel Gibson might have cut.

I still want to see it. Does this make me a douchebag?

72, you're not a douche for seeing Despicable Me. Lame, but not a douche.
I know this movie is not going to be awesome by any means, but I still want to see it... I'll rent it.
Sly, Bruce and Arnie are only actually in one scene together it looks like.
about 20 minutes into the film, after way too many scenes of nonsensical dialogue and expository scenes that weren't giving any information, I'd finally had the realization and turned to my friends (like, 20 of us went) and said "guys, this is a horrible movie."
it got pretty bad.
just bland.
some cool moments, but hard to remember.

My thoughts exactly.
I'm a big fan of ridiculous. Especially when it's intentional yet sincere.
This movie just didn't know what was going on. There was one point where I wondered out loud "is this movie improvised?"
It wasn't improvised but my God did it feel like that sometimes. But, man oh manoshevitz was this a ridiculous and dumb movie but in the best way. I could watch it over and over again. The eyerolling for me was a high number but the dialogue made it so worth it. 'Buddha---Pest'. :)
