Actually, most of the complaints I have heard involved it having too little action and too much talking. And too much of a buddy movie feel rather than the ensemble piece it was advertised as.

True. I liked The Expendables. But I wished there was more action in it. And could have done without the romantic angle  :cry:. But I guess having a pretty face is mandatory these days. The fight scene between Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren was nice  8-)

These days? Dude, a completely superfluous love interest is just as ingrained as an 80's action movie trope as bad guys who can't shoot or Vietnam war revisionism or rampant homoeroticism

Even Predator had Elpidia Carrillo running around in a tank top for no real reason.

Yeah, what they both said.  I have this on disc - made my own backup copy, so I can watch it at work too.

This is classic.
