It was 2010. The '80s were long over. Arnold Schwarzenneger was Governor of California. It appeared that the Age of the Action Hero might have come to an end. Then, fresh off of sequels to both Rocky and Rambo, Sylvester Stallone assembled a supergroup of Old and New School Action Heroes for a throwback shoot 'em up, The Expendables.

Even though it has all the ingredients to be a fan favorite, and even spawned its own franchise, this first Expendables movie hasn't aged well with fans. Maybe cause many of its stars literally haven't aged well. Were people expecting too much from this all-star cast? Or did this movie treat its storyline and themes as, well, expendable?
