Expend4bles

I love all 3 parts before this 3rd class movie. The story is classic not bad not good for this type of movies and lots of actors from the previous movies are missing, but they bring us Megan Fox and ruin everything. I hope that this will last movie in this series.

<em>'Expend4bles'</em> is a mixed bag. I was never entertained, though I was also never all that bored - odd. I think it's ever so slightly watchable because of those who are in it, given they all fit their roles to the T. However, I can't class it as anything 'good' because the sole job of these films is to be entertaining - and this just isn't, even if I wasn't necessarily craving the end credits. It's all simply rather dull. Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone (who is strangely, given he is the series' star, sidelined) are a solid pairing, while Megan Fox does quite well throughout - her best performance that I've seen, admittedly I haven't yet checked out anything with her in a lead role; <em>'<a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/transformers/" rel="nofollow">Transformers</a>'</em> (meh) aside. Andy García, meanwhile, is alright, the best of the rest if I was forced to pick one of 'em. I'm kinda surprised this franchise even got a fourth entry, since its release I kept forgetting it even existed... and sadly, post-watch, I don't see that changing. Weakest of the tetralogy, for me.

I was not impressed by this addition to The Expendables series directed by Scott Waugh. This might be the very last one since the entire hook of these movies is a homage to old skool action stars from the decades 80s and 90s kicking ass in a new type of role lead by Syvester Stallone. Jason Statham basically takes over this entire movie. His fighting style is ruthless and filled with snarky comments for almost every kill. There really isn't much for the other actors to do in this movie. I wouldn't say skip this movie because it does deliver loads of actions. But if you are a fan of the series from the beginning, then you probably won't like this movie compared to the previous ones. I give this 2/5 stars
