The Expendables (franchise)/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: The new trailer is here. Schwarzenegger, Stallone and Bruce Willis in the same shot? Nerdgasm of epic proportions.
 * Also, the long-anticipated confirmation by Stallone that the movie will, indeed, be "a hard R."
 * If it was just Stallone, Statham and Li you would have butts in the seats. Add another half-dozen names and you've got one of the most anticipated action movies ever.
 * And now Jean Claude Van Damme and CHUCK NORRIS have been confirmed for the sequel!
 * Complete Monster: Munroe, "standard cold-blooded uncaring greedy action movie villain" variety.
 * Paine, The Dragon portrayed by Steve Austin, is also in Complete Monster territory. He comes off as a psychopathic evil Drill Sergeant Nasty. "Do you think you're a tough guy?!"
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: Steve Austin plays a man who, as a plot point, Would Hit a Girl. Steve Austin has faced charges for domestic abuse in the past.
 * Ho Yay: Quite a lot.
 * HSQ: Off the charts for the final fight.
 * Just Here For Godzilla THE WHOLE DAMN CAST
 * Narm: "I SAID: ARE YOU A REAL TOUGH GUY?!"
 * Ruined FOREVER: Some fans had this reaction when it was learned that the sequel will be rated PG-13 (due to Chuck Norris refusing to appear in an R-rated film).
 * Special Effect Failure: The guard that Ross decapitated somehow managed to grow his head back between shots.
 * Tainted By the Preview: The sequel will be rated PG-13, reportedly at Chuck Norris' insistence. This is the general reaction to that idea.
 * Fortunately that dosen't seem to be the case now: http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/03/21/sylvester-stallone-now-says-the-expendables-2-will-be-rated-r/
 * Took the Bad Film Seriously: Many critics who didn't like the movie were nevertheless impressed by Mickey Rourke's performance and wondered what such a dedicated performance was doing in a "brain-dead action flick".
