The Expendables (2010)

I have to say this is the front runner for the worst movie of the year for me. It was about the time that the opening credits were concluding that I realized this would be just awful. Written, directed, and starring Sylvester Stallone, and what does he know about writing scripts?

He called up all his buddies from action movies and basically gives them all cameo's while keeping the real action of a plot on Jason Statham and himself. Mickey Rourke comes across as a good actor in the wrong film, it was interesting to see a good actor alongside some really bad ones. Jet Li seemed to get the short end of the stick as Stallone made his character weak and incapable of fighting an decent bad guy. Stallone had to even come in and save his life at one point... which kind of pissed me off. Steve Austin was given too much freedom to be "himself" [read: his WWE persona].

This was an all around terrible film. From Statham controlling a machine gun on the front of a large plane, to bad one liners like "you'all better remember me at Christmas!" Amazingly there is a sequel scheduled for a 2012 release, and you will have to go to another site to read a review for it.

Vote: 1/10
