The Expend4bles

Great action movie , well worth purchase

Good film

I have to admit my expectations were low for this 4th entry in the expendables franchise as I felt the cast ensemble was underwhelming and had read a lot of negativity elsewhere. But after giving it a watch I ended up being thoroughly entertained which cant be said about a lot of modern action movies for me personally. I felt the action was fun and consistent while being refreshing by having Jason Statham take center stage this time round. Though the 2nd movie will always be the best for actually delivering on its promise of having all these legendary action stars teaming up (something the original movie failed at) this latest installment is equally as awesome for ultra violent action, which the 3rd film fails at for appealing to a lower age rating. So overall I think this entry sets a high standard and is very much under rated

I have all the Expandables DVD. This was good,even though Sylvester Stallone only appears briefly at the beginning and the end

THE EXPENDABLE'S 4 IS AN ABSOLUTE EXCELLENT MOVIE I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE ON DVD.

Very enjoyable. Thank you.

Its been a while since the 3rd film and the big comeback is slightly muted. Of the originals only Stallone, Statham, Couture and Lundgren are left. Even all the replacement Expendables are gone. It's not surprising really as it really isn't an Expendables film, it is a Statham solo film. Like the second Escape plan film, Stallone is used as a means to sell the film, but is barely in it, thankfully with this film though we do still have a recognisable cast. The rest of the team kinda gets removed from the action early on (not killed, just removed) and Stath goes on a one man warpath although does pick up Tony Jaa along the way.The main bad guy reveal at the end is incredibly predicable as is Stallones fate, but as I said in my title, it's dumb fun, not some overblown arthouse film where you have to think.The CGI is pretty ropey in this, but not terrible. Megan Fox is Megan Fox. Pulling off her usual lacklustre performance and as one of the new Expendables she still has to go on missions in make up thicker than a builders trowel would smear on, and never seems to get a spot of dirt on her or her hair messed up.What we do see of the other characters is fine, but there just was not enough of it. One of the new characters is the son of Antonia Banderas' character and has the exact same motormouth but lacking the charm of Antonio.Tony Jaa is a highlight though.Overall as long as you keep your expectations low, and understand this is a Statham film, it's pretty enjoyable with some really cool action set pieces if you ignore the CGI limitations.

Good movie, not as good as first three
