The expendables series was carried by the cast and cameos alone in my opinion. I didn't even think the action was that great and thought they mixed up some roles a little bit (the melee weapon user and martial artist was NOT Jet Li?!). But that example kinda proves my point. Those were eye candy movies in the action sense, but compared to the A-Team? A better plot and good cast made up for and exceeded the action that it lacked in comparison. Of course this is just my opinion, just like my impression of Destiny's story and you can take it or leave it. Expect me to do the same with your opinion.
