Would you have put Cobra, Commando, Raw Deal or any other cheesy 80's films on your best-of lists from their respective years? The best action films of the 80's transcended their inherent silliness. Films like Predator, Die Hard, and First Blood come to mind. They had tremendous action sequences and characters we cared about. The Expendables had none of those things. Can't remember the names of any of the team. The set-pieces were not remotely well conceived or shot. Plus, it seemed like they spent an eternity on some story involving their mid-age crisis.

I think it's absolutely great and odds of a third film being as good as this one turned out to be are quite high. As for being like the previous films? I think it's the opposite. The first two films were "Rescue films" where they had to save someone (Buzz in the first, Woody in the second), the third one is a prison break film like many late 60's/early 70's films where they had to break out.<br /><br />So we'll just have to disagree.<br /><br />You say pawtato, I say potato.Honor Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346050126873050983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-47514597359256091232011-01-04T12:25:43.824-08:002011-01-04T12:25:43.824-08:00I saw True Grit and thought it was boring.

The plot, what there was of one, was flimsy and worse of all, the action was incredibly pedestrian. The only saving grace was Terry Crews and his gun. Horrible film.<br /><br />2. Megamind better than How to Train your Dragon? Surely, you can't be serious? Megamind was far more typical of the film that Dreamworks has been derided of in the past. HTTYD was the best animated film, and possibly the best film, I've seen all year. <br /><br />3. Toy Story 3 is actually a tad bit overrated. The film is way to similar to the previous films, particularly the second one. Everything from the basic plot of another escape plan to another angry neglected toy to the toys realizing that their time with Andy is fleeting to the opening action scene were all redundant of the superior and far more original first sequel. <br /><br />Other than that, pretty good list. I think the Nolan fawning is a little thick. Good director, but The Dark Knight is an incredibly flawed film. Hope part 3 is an improvement. Also, like that you put Tron:Legacy on your list. Very underrated. Probably the one time I can unequivocally use the cliche "roller coaster ride" for a movie.
