'Expendables' Fends Off 'Vampires' and Other Challengers: Box Office Report, August 20-22

My 14 year old son and I loved the Expendables. We both share a passion for action films.

Re: Jennifer Aniston. I consider Ms. Aniston a fairly good actress. I would not pay to see one of her movies. Because of the cost of a movie theater esperience today there are some films I deem "movie theater worthy" and others not. I do not consider "The Switch" movie theater worthy. I will wait until it goes to DVD and then borrow it from the library for free.
Constructive criticism to Jennifer Aniston: You are appear to me to be a very nice person, very pretty and a talented actress with good comic timing. But you are somewhat ... well, beige; uh, bland. I mean you always seem to be playing Jennifer Aniston. (Much like Owen Wilson always plays Owen Wilson. Just love Owen Wilson!) You just need to take more risks and stretch abit. You always seem to be hiding behind your beautiful hair.

Stallone always plays the warrior, the action hero. Guess he's just built for that. He has been pigeon-holed into that genre, but it works.

When is Hollywood FINALLY going to get it that Jennifer Aniston can't open a movie & is NOT a movie star.

Stallone acting ability is as much a mystery to me as crib death.

Joan Fonda or what ever your name is bitch, leave the country and die, baby killers my ass you make me sick you shouldnt even call yourself american or human for that fact, to all the vets out there thank you for my freedom!!!

I saw expendables great movie, great actors!!!

It's sad to see so much hate filled opinions generated by a MOVIE, for goodness sakes. First, I'm a Baby Boomer from the Vietnam era. I honor every person who served in that war, whether they volunteered or were drafted. It took a horrendous toll on a generation of men and women, and the scars are still there, just as in any war. You can disagree with a war and the politicians who send our young people in to fight, but it disturbs me to read invective on those that served. As far as throwing expletives at Stallone, that seems uncalled for. Whether you like or dislike the man for his acting, directing and writing, at least he did something productive with his life. I went to the move and will say it is not an Academy Award winner. Not much of a plot, the writing was poor, and the acting so-so (except for glorious Mickey Rourke). But by golly it was fun to see Stallone pull together a cast of athelete/performers who have become famous from their movies and/or TV programs and have them work together. Stallone doesn't need the money. But I imagine he and the other stars had a grand time making this film in Brazil. What's wrong with that?

OMG!...PEOPLE, THIS IS JUST A MOVIE FOR GOODNESS SAKE. IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE A COMMENTARY OR DOCUMENTARY, JUST ENTERTAINMENT. I cannot believe that so many of you are ranking on each other in such an inappropriate and totally uncalled for manner. What is wrong with you? I was certainly a child of the 60's and believed the war (oops..conflict) was wrong for us to be involved in and wanted our guys out of there pronto, but was not one of those that called our guys "baby killers", etc. How anyone in this so-called enlightened age can still refer to our honorable troops just following orders is beyond me. You could say the same thing for every veteran of every skirmish, conflict, or war but why would you? Those involved did so then and do so now to protect themselves AND this country. I also want us out of the middle-east ASAP, but the servicemen there ARE serving this country and everyone of us. Where's your respect for THEIR LIVES that were and are being jeopardized on your behalf? Be thankful that there are those willing to fight for you and this country despite all odds of survival and/or success. Those of you that have made negative comments about the Vets of Nam are a disgrace to this nation. Oh, and please spare me the negative comments on the atrocities we committed in Nam...what about the atrocities that were perpetrated against our own soldiers then and now? My own Father was a survivor of WWII and came home with "battle fatigue", now known as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and my family had to live with that, while he was in and out of the Veterans Hospital Psychiatric ward throughout my childhood and teenage years. I lost a boyfriend to Nam, not in the literal since, but in the sense that he lost a leg and the use of a hand, and his mind while serving our country. Our guys are coming back from the middle-east in the same if not worse condition and you have the unmitigated gall to criticise them??? Go serve some time in a Veterans Hospital as a volunteer so that you know what you're talking about before you open your ignorant mouth. You also need to learn to distinguish between reality and a stupid movie and not make your movie comments into a forum for your personal agendas. If you want to comment on the movie fine, a simple statement based on the merits of the movie are called for, not turning it into a social commentary or editorial based on your feelings/opinions about war or whatever the movie was about. Get over yourselves already. I don't care what your feelings are on any subject other than the movie being reviewed by you and I'm sure most others feel the same. People like you help to perpetuate negativity inside and outside of this country. Like we used to say "AMERICA, LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT" and anyone that doesn't can get their passports and get the hell out because we don't need you stirring up more dissent in this country. Now, hate that for a while.

It looks like a must see. He looks great & youthful @ 64 when most men have become couch potatos. I always felt he would have done a great job remaking Cape Fear but it never happened. He's been a big box office draw for years and the audience always gets what they pay for. It's great to have him in the box office mix again.

i am a vet........served 2 touts in nam........i never killed a baby or knew of any one else who did.......i saw the movie and enjoyed it,,,,,welcome home to all my brother vets....byw if you want to blast anyone blast jane fonda because i am sure there is a special place in hell reserved for her

Erik beat Julia again. Terrific. Julia %#*@

Too all those who continually use MOVIE comment sections to air their petty bitches, I say get a life already. He was in Switzerland on a scholarship, and much like millions of other people, received a deferment, due to him being in school. With your reasoning, anyone who went to college instead of joining the military right after high school. Congrat's to you for serving when called, but enough already. I'm retired Air Force, and have never cared who ran, or why. My life is full enough without spending a minute tracking every possible person, who MIGHT hace run to avoid the draft. Life goes on, join it..
