The Expendables

F
Very typical action film which is light on plot but heavy on explosions. This is not a wise choice for an early date. Guys will likely enjoy some of the over the top action sequences, but some scenes border on the ludicrous and any CGI components are poorly done. It looks like they had their college intern mock them up after his hazing party the night before.
As for the ladies, the romance is on life support and none of the man candy is really exposed. Honestly I can't think of any reason why someone missing the Y chromosome would want to watch this. If some how you convince your date to go, don't be surprised if you find her waiting in the car with the engine running and the car in drive by the start of the credits.
Any post movie discussion? No not really. The only thing that might be worth discussion is the one liner around Arnold's cameo. But that conversation will last 15 seconds, assuming your date hasn't driven off by then.
Bottom line, take your date to something else.... anything else. Unless of course she requests to see it, in that case you should propose on the spot.
