The Expendables - SLY-ARNIE Face-off

The over-hyped scene in The Expendables, where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone shared screen space for the first time in movie history, in the auspicious presence of the third man who completed the trio of 1980's action superstars, Bruce Willis himself, was nothing more than a couple of one-liners. Though some of them did succeed in getting a laugh or two, the end result wasn't so much worth writing home about.

And no, I didn't expect them to engage in a brawl or a gunfight with each other. The way Arnold limped his way to the church's altar was sight enough for me to realize that the man has aged gracefully and by no means is supposed to do anything more than walking and talking.
