The Expendables Hath Tickled My Funny

I watched this movie yesterday:
                                                   

It has been said that The Expendables is:



And so they say. My personal opinion? The only thing that I like about this movie is/ was:



Yes. Him.

Aside from the All Star cast in this movie there was nothing memorable about it. Yes, it is full blown action packed, explosives here and there, knifes and weapons it is a pretty much predictable movie. Nothing pretty much goes wrong in the movie. Maybe its just me or was it Sylvester Stallone? Haha. (excuse me, while I snicker).

Every time I see Sylvester Stallone I felt like laughing/ laughed. I laughed when he ran, I laughed when he smiled and I laughed when he cried (on other encounters when I saw his face, popcorn got shot out from my nose). Maybe it was the botox or face-lift or what ever surgeries Hollywood surgeons practiced on him ( I guess thats why its called practice). I just could not take him seriously.

I would like to say the same goes for Mr. Terry Crews. He was Hale Caesar in the movie who happens to be a weapon specialist. He wasn't too shabby in this movie, not as bad as Sylvester but it was hard for me to take him seriously as well. Maybe it was because of this:

In a split second I recall Mr. Crews singing Vanessa Carlton's, A Thousand Miles in the White Chick.

Then, there is Jet Li. Who is named Yin Yang in this movie. Cliche much? Well we all know Jet Li knows how to fight well. In this movie he was made fun of his height. And his fights? Nothing we haven't seen him do. He did not fly. I want to see him fly. Why didn't he fly. Please tell me why? (Sorry couldn't help it, it rhymed.)

I realized that I somehow dropped my jaw a couple of times halfway throughout the movie. Then I realized it was just the sound effects.

Okay, okay, I guess I'm not giving much credit to the movie or it's all-stars. I'm too much of an imaginative person, I know, I know. It is out of my control. Do watch it though, I must say it is somehow an entertaining movie.

Why didn't I mention the other stars such as Stone Cold Steve Austin (grabs 2 cans of beer and slams it against each other, but nothing happens), Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts and bla bla bla, (oh, there was one funny eared guy but I don't know who he is) is simply because I am lazy and I don't feel like copy and pasting from Wikipedia.


Thank you for viewing.


Have a nice day.





Lot's of love,
