The trailer for Sylvester Stallone’s new cock-a-block action flick The Expendables was released last week and while there was much excitement it. And that’s understandable, I mean Willis, Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the same film? But that’s where part of the problem is, it isn’t really Willis, Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the same film. And that’s just one of the snags.

First up, judging by the trailer (watch it here) the movie looks like an ’80s action flick and for me that just won’t do. Even in the ’80s action movies were tepid with humdrum looking and sounding action sequences. Then Die Hard came along and changed things visually. But The Expendables looks like we’re right back there with its uninspiring visuals.

Then there’s the ‘legendary’ line up, but there seems to be a lot of padding…

All the talk is of Willis, Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the same movie but, again going on the trailer, there is a complete lack of Willis abseiling through a window on a firehose or Schwarzenegger urging people to get to a helicopter.

Basically, two of the world’s biggest bad-asses don’t seem to be blowing anything up or putting bullets through peoples’ foreheads. They just seem to be, well, talking. And while that scene looks cool, it may just be the best part of the film. So enjoy that scene again and again below.
